Just curious, does the intonation of the voice rise at the end of the sentence with this type of usage of "que" as it does in yes or no questions in Spanish?
Or, does it fall, as in declarative sentences in Spanish.
Ex. Que tienes novio? Does voice rise at end as with a yes/no question or drop as in a statement.
Thanks!

Hi, a suggestion: “This is to preserve the hard G sound from the infinitive”. (The Spanish G sounds like the jota when it comes before an E or and I: G+E: gente (people), recoger (to collect), alegra (happy) G+I: digital (digital), girasol (sunflower), elegir (to choose)).

Hi,

Line: Kwizbot no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pintura rupestres.
You no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pinturas ropestres.
Could you explain why there is no “S” on pintura. Is this a special case? if so what lesson would attach to this?
Thank you,
Nicole
Hola Inma,
Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?
Saludos
John
is this correct? i worked in that company durante un año y 3 meses. or should i use the (por) ?
I have checked 2 different dictionaries for the vosotros form of liar in the present subjunctive and both say that there is no accent.
It might have been helpful to include a little more information about El monumento al Encierro. I searched broadly but even Wikipedia had nothing on it other than that "Encierro" has to do with the running of the bulls in Pamplona. However, not wishing to be defeated, after much probing I found:
El encierro es una práctica dentro de la tauromaquia que consiste en correr (dentro de una vía urbana cercada) delante de una manada no muy abundante de toros, novillos o vaquillas. Los encierros son muy populares dentro de España y América Latina, en los lugares donde se celebran Fiestas Taurinas. El Monumento al Encierro es una gran escultura del artista Jalisciense Jorge de la Peña Beltrán, que representa a siete toros y un caporal a caballo camino a la corrida donde habrán de revelar su coraje. Es una obra fundida en bronce, donde cada toro pesa por lo menos media tonelada; el caporal 1,700 kg. El monumento mide 24 metros de largo por 10.5 de ancho y tiene una altura de 6.5 metros. Su existencia es un continuo homenaje a los ganaderos aguascalentenses ya que cada toro lleva marcado el fierro de una ganadería de la zona.
¡Eso es casi suficiente para que quieras ir a verla!
Hi,
I was wondering if this is a story from Cervantes or a fairy-tale from the Grimms brothers?
Also, I was wondering if there is an official translation of this, as there are many phrases, etc that are difficult to translate.
Thank you.

I had to look up the English definition of arriviste!
