Aunque tengo una casa muy lujosa, prefiero la vuestra. I'm confused. Where does 'vuestro' come from? What happened to 'tuyo' and 'suyo'?
There was a sentence in the lesson:
Dime cuál te gusta más.
Tell me which one you like the most.
Wouldn't this translate to
Tell me which one you like more. ?
How would you say the correct sentences in Spanish to translate more and the most?
Also, why do speakers of Spanish have a difficult time when learning the comparative and superlative forms in English? It's like they don't realize they exist in Spanish too.
Hola todos
I have been told that it is very common to use 'quedar' instead of 'estar' to indicate where a place is, for instance 'Mi casa queda cerca del parque.'
I have read quedar used in this way, and have seen it in some dictionaries. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it to me, which is odd as I must have used sentences where it might come up hundreds of times on the many occasions I've been navigating neighbourhoods during visits to Spain. Could it be more common in Latin American Spanish?
Can you clarify?
Saludos
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?
My answer was "está"The correct answer was "hace"
In the above question, I think both answers should be considered correct:está (in this case frío is an adjective)and hace (in this case frío would be a noun)
Why am I wrong?
I wonder if there is an error in this question:
Este hotel, ________ inauguración fue ayer, va a recibir muchos turistas alemanes.
I think that the answer should be cuyo (because hotel is a masculine noun), but the Kwiziq answer on the test question is cuya. Is this a mistake on Kwiziq's part, or am I not understanding something?
