Hi!
This is a general question I have about words that can both describe a hobby and an occupation. I have been wondering about the example "Soy culturista" (I am a bodybuilder). Would we only say that if we made a living from bodybuilding? Would we say "soy un culturista" instead, if bodybuilding were only a hobby? (I got the variant with un as an alternative suggestion from a translator website.)
Thank you as always!
This rule does not work with amable. If you do an exercise on superlatives with a question on "amable" before you read the lesson on -co, -go, -ble, and -z endings you will make a mistake. Perhaps this lesson should should point out that -ble endings are an exception.
Of course I will always remember the rule now after spending some time trying to discover why "amablísimos" was wrong.
I read from the other answers that common names such as Juan and proper nouns such as movie are unable to use direct object pronouns.
Example - lo he visto pelicula is wrong but he visto pelicula is correct?
Example - lo he visto a Juan is wrong but he visto a Juan or lo he visto is correct?
how about el pelicula de Pedro lo he visto
or
he visto el pelicula de Pedro?
Thanks in advance
Why is "pasar" shown to mean "have" when English speakers just as often say "to spend?" Wouldn't it be truer to the Spanish to say it means "to spend?" Also, that will help me learn the actual meaning of "pasar." To say it means "have" I would think may sow some confusion.
Hello.
I wonder why we used the preterito perfecto de sujuntivo in this sentence, instead of the presente de sujuntivo. Aside from the given hint to use the said verb, can you explain why? Thank you.
Oh, si la vida fuera tan simple y perfecta...
I would have said “en el sol”, not “al sol”
Hace calorcito???
For the question:
¡________ me has traído! ¡Qué lugar más espectacular!
The English translation that is given is:
Where have you brought me! What an amazing place!
It seems that the English is a bit ambiguous because it is phrased as a question but there is an exclamation mark rather than a questions so I don't know whether the original question in Spanish is intended to be a statement or a question.
