Meaning: entender - know

Entender means understand, but in this example: Ella entiende de arte. - means: She knows about art. Why?

Thank you so much!

Follow up on "no puedo encontrar las llaves"

Hi kwiziq team! Would "no puedo encontrar las llaves" also sound "un-spanish" to a Spanish speaker? Or could I say that as an alternative form?

Thank you as always!

Question about example sentence

Hi!

So in "Si empiezas el trabajo mañana, te tocaría archivar los expedientes a primera hora", here tocaría is a conditional, so would the correct translation not be "you would have to file" Instead of "you will have to file"? Like this: "If you start work tomorrow, you would have to file the dossiers first thing."

Thank you and have a good weekend!

almost not understandable

Well, I guess if that's how they speak in Argentina, I won't be visiing there soon, if ever. Apart from the yeismo, the speaker articulated more through her nose than through the mouth (French-style) making her words almost impossible to understand. Good, clear Spanish is my aim.

Holidays not holiday - expressed as plural in some English speaking countries

I would say "I'm going on holidays" plural in English. It might be regional, I'm Australian and have lived in London for 20 years. I think it could be used singular or plural.

I've been a bit confused because I would put it the same way as in Spanish. I've got a lot wrong thinking it was different. Could It be explained some non-US English call it holidays plural too. Are there any others that found this confusing?

Continuation of my previous post requesting permission

Is it okay to use one of your sentences in my Cantonese and Mandarin language learning video? I want to show repetition of words in different languages and would like to use your: Lo que se dice dolor dolor no tengo. If you're okay with my using your sentence, I will of course credit you and have a link to your website. If you want to see what my videos are like before you make a decision, they're at: https://www.youtube.com/user/notnowigottago

Exemption of a in translation

A grammer question:

I have been a member of- he sido miembro del...

Why there is no uno like in English - he sido uno miembro (this sentence is a mistake).
