Hello,
I did a search to find a lesson to learn these terms, but could not find any. I did see the word "lejos" in a list in the directions lesson, but nothing else.
Could you tell me 1) how to look for lessons (will just doing a search find these?) and what lesson you have that would encompass this. Thank you. Nicole
Hi,
Can you explain when one might use sólo as opposed to solo? They both seem to mean "just" or "only."
Thanks. John
I am getting confused with vuestro's use:
Am I correct in assuming the word "vuestros: is related to the "vosotros" informal usage in Spain that is not used in Latin America.
What I am wondering is; What would be the LatAm version of the informal plural yours, i.e. vuestros?
It would be really helpful if these differences were noted here (and elsewhere as well)
(By the way: Well done on noting them in some of the lessons I've seen)
I find the Spanish use of "vos" confusing, as I have been learning the LatAm version. In addition, I am French, and in French the "vous" is formal! Yikes!
Thank you for your time.
Nicole
Hello,
For hours around noon/midnight, in Spanish, is "mediodía" only used for noon sharp? Or is it also used with "menos/y + minutes"? For instance, for 12:30 PM, would you say "Es mediodía y media" or is it best to say "Son las doce y media"?
Same for "medianoche".
From your example, Spaniards translate "corner table" as "mesa de la esquina". Would it be more accurate to say "mesa del rincón" since it is bound to be an inside corner?
Yes, I know I'm a pedant!!
How would you choose between eso and aquello?
