I understand that plural feminine should be -as and plural masculine should be -os... The hint that they are feminine names made me opt for Delgadas but the answer was Delgado's... Why?

Hi, sorry i missed the g in “missing”. Shirley. 

Why was there no translation for "Venir a cuento" (To come to the point) , "San Ginés" (Saint Genesius), "El asilo del libro" (the Book Asylum) and "Tusitala? Do the choice of names for the librerías have no relevance? It might be of value to know why such names were chosen. Ej:

¿Qué significa Tusitala?, La Librería dice, "nos preguntáis con frecuencia: Tusitala significa "el que cuenta historias", es el nombre que los nativos de Samoa daban a Robert Louis Stevenson cuando se reunían con él para escuchar sus cuentos.
En la librería Tusitala siempre dedicamos un espacio al escritor escocés, que ahora se amplía con 'Olalla', novela ambientada en España y que ha recuperado Ediciones Invisibles. Una joya de la narrativa que os recomendamos encarecidamente."

Interesting, no?

when you ask a question like “do you offer discounts” there is no indication you are asking one or many people. so do i assume “you” will always be more than one person?

Sure "agua"means "water" but I think in this case the singer was saying "Look out now!" as a heads up for the band rhythm solo . . .

I wonder what the purpose of the subtle but significant change of meaning in Tanta luz no es buena to mean "This much light is not good." instead of "So much light is not good?"

If one is hired as a translator, I don't think one would take it upon oneself to make a change of the speaker's meaning in such a way.

There is a lot to unpack in this lesson and I'm finding parts of it quite difficult to comprehend. For example, I see three forms of traer used in examples that express "we." Also examples for "can we have" that do not contain a conjugation of "poder."

Also I don't know where to find explanations of the different tenses, preteritos, etc. of both traer and llevar that are used in this lesson, so a link to the related lesson would help us out. Thank you. I can tell this was a difficult one to put together and I appreciate your effort.
