Spanish language Q&A Forum

Without the pop ups this would have been difficult to understand. It lacks the clear sound and prosidy of my favorite lady hispanohablantes. However, another worthwhile experience . . .

I'm having the same problem. Suddenly my lessons include non-european Spanish. Help!

¿Por qué usa "de" con la frase tomar de postre en lugar de "como" o "por"?

The test at the bottom of this lesson always marks the second answer wrong?

Hola,
Me confunde mucho el uso de ¨ser¨y ¨estar¨ en la voz pasiva. ¿Podrían ustedes aclararlo?
Gracias.

Can I say "Adivino que si" or "Adivino que no"? Thanks. 

Do you want me to pick you up at five?"? (HINT: you=vosotros)

I think the English translations could be modified to be a bit more natural sounding. since you=vosotros is plural English speakers would say "Do you all/yall (local to southern US)/you guys" want me to pick you up.

would people agree with this?

In the case of the broken radio, using 'es' suggests the radio is irreparable, whereas 'está' suggests it can be repaired

The answer insisted on dónde, but there is no question being asked here. So I do not see the reasoning. The rest of the sentence could easily be considered (actually is) the major clause: "I don't know" I think your answer is wrong, or at best an alternative.

Thank you for clarifying that this expression functions similar to the verb gustar.  I believe that the gustar structure is sometimes used with 3rd person plural, such as "Me gustan las películas."  Is there ever a time that "dar a alguien por algo" is used with 3rd person plural when followed by a plural noun?  For example, if I wanted to say "Now that my friend has retired, she has taken up new hobbies," would I still say, "Ahora que mi amiga se ha jubilado, le ha dado pasatiempos nuevos"?  Thank you!
