What type of usage would this be for le… if it was “le preocupa” or “le alegra” etc. Like “le alegra que ella haya dicho si a una cita” or “y hay otras cosas que le alegran” what is the le in these sentences or who is? Lastly “y le gustan muchas cosas de su perfil” thank you!
What does "Niños, dejad de hablar tanto." mean?
Just curious, does the intonation of the voice rise at the end of the sentence with this type of usage of "que" as it does in yes or no questions in Spanish?
Or, does it fall, as in declarative sentences in Spanish.
Ex. Que tienes novio? Does voice rise at end as with a yes/no question or drop as in a statement.
Thanks!

I don’t understand what info is being asked for here. Is it if she is willing to meet the parents?
Thank you, Shirley.
I don't feel like there is good guidance in this. I see what appears to be mixed modes- Mi and ti, but not nos- it's nosotros. If nosotros is the valid pronoun for this form, why is ti valid and tu not valid? There is no guidance here and I am constantly getting these screwed up. To me, nosotros=we, nos=us, and nuestra=our. I get it if they truly use those in that way, but please call it out as an exception so I know to memorize it that way. Otherwise I am trying to find and fit a pattern and am hitting the wall trying to pass these tests in a way that I know I can replicate this in a week or a month from now and get it correctly then as well, and not just memorize it long enough to pass the test today.
The lesson re colors states specifically that, with regard to ROSA,
“It is ALSO CORRECT to use the ending -as for both masculine and feminine plurals. Yet this was marked incorrect in my most recent quiz
The third sentence is not a complete sentence as it lacks a verb. For that reason, I attached it to the second sentence with a coma. To me, that didn't sound right either. Often, I don't grade myself on punctuation because I find that phrases that can stand alone as complete thoughts end with a coma in these exercises, and those that should continue after a coma don't. Because we are transcribing without the opportunity to go back or listen ahead, it is sometimes difficult to know which to use. I usually don't bother correcting punctuation and just correct my Spanish. This paragraph was particularly bothersome. Yes, I do listen to the whole piece beforehand and even take quick notes, but this taxes my short-term memory, especially with the longer readings and higher levels. Professional transcribers constantly pause and backtrack so as not to make mistakes.
Why do we need the indirect pronoun in this sentence at all as Flor is referred to by name?
Is it just for emphasis, would a natural speaker include it?
