What is the difference between pocos and cuantos
I notice that Spanish often inserts el/la where English doesn't. Like "como la observación, la intuición y la lógica." whereas in English one writes "like observation, tuition, and logic."
Is there a rule for this?
I see quite some time has been devoted to this subject. The first time I read the hairdresser example, the English struck me as quite wrong. I would add my two cents as follows:
If I went to the hairdresser, I'd spend a lot of money or If I went (had gone) to the hairdresser, I would have spent a lot of money.
Those seem to me to be the simplest way to correct it because one can't correctly say I would spent.
.
I still can't get it right when to use the definite article. La televisión or just televisión? Television in general? It's always a 50-50 guess for me.
Ponme en la lista de las personas que quieran a estudiar italiano si haya tal lista.

Hola a todos,
‘Da igual cuál sea tu sueño...’
If I’m correct then I understand this sentence to mean, ‘It doesn’t matter what your dream is...’ The latter part of the sentence says, ‘it can be related to your lifestyle’. It’s the part of the sentence that says, ‘...no tiene por qué estar relacionado con trabajo...’, that I’m struggling with. I think I’m right to understand that it means, ‘it doesn’t have to be related with/to work’. I’m just not grasping the use of ‘por que’ here? Please could you explain it to me?
Many thanks
Clara :)
Great exercise, it would be even better if the suggested words to check before starting the exercise could be viewed translated directly here without the need to go to extra vocabulary book/web. Thanks
Hola
Be careful because with other hundreds like 203, 345, etc., the tens and units do not change, just the hundreds.
For example:
Había unas quinientas treinta y cuatro especies en peligro de extinción.thought treinta should be treinte according to the info above that says the tens and units don't change
Please advise
many thanks
Puedes ayudarme con una oración en un libro estoy leyendo….No se si el autoro usa la palabra en una manera poética or es normalmente y correcto? Trying to understand if Aturdir and irritar are normally used like the above verbs ‘ like gustar etc. The following sentence from New Penguin short stories in Spanish [ de la cuenta ‘ La Indiferencia de Eva]. Me aturden las personas muy activas y, si son mujeres, me irritan.
