[A comment, not a question]: "Guión" is interesting because the Academia in Madrid recently ruled that it had to be spelled "guion". They added that they were not prescribing how it was supposed to be pronounced. A lot of people (in Spain; I'm not sure about América?) still pronounce it with two syllables, as if the 'o' carried an accent: 'ó'. It does become a bit problematic when you expand it to "guionista" - where there is no obvious indicator telling you to make it four syllables (i.e., separating the 'ui' from the 'o') > gui_on'ista.
Why is there an article in front of frío in the second instance?
Hello,
I am trying to get an overview of Spanish adjectives.
Am I correct to assume that adjectives that end in -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
This would mean that the following are irregular:
- masculine adjectives that end in -a or -e
- adjectives that end in -z or -l
- adjectives that end in -án, ón, -or
- adjectives that end in -ar
Is this correct?
Are there also other adjectives groups/endings?
Is it interchangeable to say something like
"Quizá mañana entienda más.""Quizás mañana entienda mas."
Just as 'tal vez' and "quizás" are interchangeable, with no fast rules on them, is it the same for using quizá and quizás or is there some guide for when they can/can't be used?
also, is it impossible to use quizá/quizás/tal vez using future tenses?
examples:
"Quizá iré a la biblioteca pasado mañana"
"Tal vez conocerás aquel varón cuando venga"
"Quizás recibiré una mejor evaluación cuando mejore mis debilidades en mi trabajo"
In Question 6 of the quiz, 'podamos' is used in the sentence. Shouldn't this be 'podemos' or is it used in the subjunctive tense?
Thank you.
