On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is". This seems wrong to me. Irse means to GO away, not to BE away. The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".
What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?
I didn't want him to be far away.
I don't care if he is far away.
He went away just for me.
In my opinion he should go far away.
Hi!
This is a general question I have about words that can both describe a hobby and an occupation. I have been wondering about the example "Soy culturista" (I am a bodybuilder). Would we only say that if we made a living from bodybuilding? Would we say "soy un culturista" instead, if bodybuilding were only a hobby? (I got the variant with un as an alternative suggestion from a translator website.)
Thank you as always!
“Como”can be written with and without accent, it depends on whether it has a interrogative or comparative function.
Most enjoyable, perfectly spoken and easy to follow. Thanks. But what is a "menina"? It's not in my Larousse dictionary . . .
But pronunciation: in the Spanish muy is the U treated as W as in ruido, cuido or is the U given strength and sounded separately. Is muy MWEE ot moo-ee or muu-ee? cuy is cwee or cuuee. I've always believed that Y is treated as another vocal. a e i o u and Y meaning that u before Y = W so muy = mwee
can we use disfrazado instead of vestir ?
for this sentence, We were all dressed in white
estabamos disfazados en blanco? is this correct?
There is another chapter on using qué + noun + verb. ¡Qué lento va esa coche! = ¡Qué coche tan lento! Is this the same and correct ?
Why do you say que interesante and not como interesante
