Anyone know what "la patacoja" is, I can't find it in any dictionaries.
How would I say someone else is doing something to another person and not themselves? Like if my mom is a hair stylist and she's combing someone else's hair. Like in "Mi madre se peina el pelo con un cepillo nuevo." Would I need to put something like "el pelo de la mujer" or with the personal a like "el pelo a la mujer"
Please clarify what is meant by each it.
I assume the first it refers to the reflexive pronoun and the second it refers to the verb. BUT ONE CANT BE SURE
Can you explain why you use "the" in front of language, memory, and confidence? las lenguas mejoran la memoria, aumentan la confianza
I understand the use of the subjunctive after 'querer que' but why is this case is 'you' translates as you all (vosotros) and not you singular form? I makes sense if the statement was 'I want you all to back at my side '....
This distinction also appears in the lesson.
Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine.
Why is 'peli' not accepted in place of películas?
In this lesson, you have a note near the bottom saying literal translations from English to Spanish don't always work and to not say: "No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...). I notice Shawn offered an option to say “no ver la hora de…”. But I haven’t found other standard or colloquial ways to say, in Spanish, “I can’t wait to…”. Can you help with that? Thanks!
