Spanish language Q&A Forum

I currently am focusing on Latin American Spanish, specifically Mexican Spanish / Californian. What are the differences in vocabulary?

Si alguien me pregunta ¿A qué planta vas? en el ascensor, ¿cómo contesto? Se pueda decir ‘a la quinta’ por ejemplo o ‘al cinco’? Gracias

This is one of the questions that I think is poorly expressed in this lesson, and again is contrary to what your own "quick lesson" presents. My answer of "una poca simpatía" was marked incorrect, yet it is the more commonly used version, again according to your own "quick lesson." I do not see the point of frustrating students with information that they are unlikely to hear.

Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around?  By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.

Porque es usa viva no vive atras leyenda.  Tambien porque no permite juegos y partidos?  

Hello. Why we use "consiguieron", not "consiguyeron"? Thanks. Zuzana

Hello,

I found the following sentence in a Spanish grammar book that I am studying: “Por que es azul el cielo?” 

I thought the sentence would be: “Por que el cielo es azul?” 

What kind of rule does the first sentence fall under and how would I know when to structure my sentences like that? For example, would this only happen with questions?

Muchísimas gracias!
