Spanish language Q&A Forum

Not a question, but I think a much better way to put this would be ú -> ue, meaning the "u" becomes "ue" when stressed. That holds across all tenses (also for voseo) and needs no special cases at all (assuming the usual ge -> gue to keep the g sound from getting mangled). Turns it into a single simple fact to remember.

Hello,

In the lesson el profesor pronounces 'quiere' "yiere", is this normal for European Spanish? Normally I expect a fairly strong "q" sound?

Thanks

Why is it rey del vino instead of rey de vino?

Tiene    and  usted tiene

Both are correct, as the usted is optional to phrase in the sentence.

But it is marked incorrect.    Grammatically it is correct, so I believe it shouldn't be marked incorrrect.

This test question confused me.  I thought that a number under 200 used "unos" but the test answer says it should be unas tres horas.

The journey lasts about three hours. : El viaje dura ___ horas.

I get it.  Le is not the correct answer for a reason, but not the reason given in the lesson examples.  Just because the preposition "con" is always followed by a subject pronoun is insufficient explanation.  It implies that "con" was already a given, but it was not.  I believe that "le" is an indirect object/pronoun and therefore not correct.  

Me cancelaron el viaje, cosa que me fastidió mucho.

They cancelled my trip, which annoyed me a lot.

this sentence uses cosa que in the middle of the sentence

the notes state otherwise using la cosa que and it says only for beginning of the sentence not middle

am i right to conclude, cosa que = lo que in the middle of the sentence, whereas la cosa que = lo que in the beginning of the sentence.

can i also further conclude below

Le encantan los documentales de historia, cosa que/que/lo que/lo cual (yo) encuentro aburrido = I find [the fact] that she loves history documentaries boring.

cosa que/que/lo que/lo cual are all interchangeable and replacement with no change in the meaning in the middle of the sentence?

la cosa que/lo que for the beginning of the sentence.

You have this sentence in the lesson:

Their endings are the same as other regular -er verbs in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

I think this should be changed to say -ar verbs.
