Spanish language Q&A Forum

Why is it ‘hacer la lumbre en la cocina', then later ‘hacer el fuego'? Is it because, the second time, we are more focused on actually getting a fire going, and the first time we're thinking about the type of fire?

You wrote: "With verbs that imply movement we can use all the forms:", with example ¿Adónde vas Manuel?

Does than mean that "Adonde vas Manuel" and "donde vas Manuel"  are correct? The examples only have the forms  adónde and dónde

A recent Kwiziq question asked: 

HINT: Conjugate "traer" in the usted form of El Presente Subjuntivo 

The correct answer was : traiga

However, I learned to ask for things by attaching the I.O.P to the end of the imperative/subjunctive, for instance: 'Tráeme una taza de café' or, more politely, 'Pongame una taza de café'. 

So I wonder if in this question 'tráiganos' might not be more appropriate, or sound more natural? 

I love this article!  I spent over two years in the ROP and I loved the people!  I think an article on how Spanish affected the major indigenous language Tagalog would be fascinating.  For example the Tagalog greeting "Komo staka" is very close to Como esta and the term for very good "may sarap" is from muey sabroso.  (My spelling of Tagalog words are probably wrong.)  I also remember that the word for stop in Tagalog is "parar".  I know that during my time of the ROP I never heard anyone speak in Spanish.  I only wish that I had known some Spanish back then (circa 1977-1980).  It certainly would have helped me to learn more Tagalog phrases.  

Can they be used synonymously? What is the difference in meaning and use between the two?
