On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is". This seems wrong to me. Irse means to GO away, not to BE away. The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".
What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?
I didn't want him to be far away.
I don't care if he is far away.
He went away just for me.
In my opinion he should go far away.
Can querer in pretérito indefinido mean either wanted or tried?
In this text, 'those who' is translated in two different ways.. are they sinónimos?
quienes osaban visitarlo podían susurrar sus anhelos
Aquellos que se adentraban en la oscuridad del bosque
I used 'los que'. Is that always wrong?
Gracias
Porque “..era un caballero medieval” pero “fue un héroe nacional..”
Acá se puede usar «del que» o «del cual» también?
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!
I am confused about these. The lesson says they are interchangeable, but when I do the quizzes I get marked incorrect for choosing - for example - apenas instead of en cuanto. Can anyone help clarify this?
Does «media naranja» (soulmate) literally mean "orange sock"? How did this term for "soulmate" develop in Spanish culture?
