Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi room, experts

Please explain translation 'its difficult for corruption to disappear from the country' in Spanish 'Es difícil que la corrupción desaparezca del país'. 

I understand your translation but I am wondering, can this also be written in the indicative. 

For example could I not also write, 'Es difícil por la corrupción de desaparecer del país'?

El menor = el más pequeño

El peor = el más malo

How does it work for :-

el/la/los/las+ más/menos + pequeño/-a/-os/-as  = menor/menores

el menos pequeno =? the least smallest - would you use the biggest - el más grande?

el/la/los/las + más/menos + malo/-a/-os/-as  = peor/peores

el menos malo=?  does this translate to the least bad - would you use el más bueno?

Thanks

My understanding was that the accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless another syllable is accented. Given that where does the accent fall on “peinar”?  Is it not split into pe in ar?  

How does one know if

"Hay un incidente ahí; tendrán que llamar a la policía."

should be translated as

1) There is an accident there; they MIGHT have to call the police (probability)

vs

2) There is an accident there, they WILL have to call the police (statement of fact)

Thanks

I am having difficulty understanding the difference in terminology between "impersonal se" and "passive reflexive se" and in particular the difference in their translation into English. ¿Puedes ayudarme?
