Which is the most used form: "Cómo te llamas?" or "Cual es tú nombre?" I didn't understand quite well when reading the text
(please ignore the lack of the interrogation point at the beginning of the questions, my keyboard doesn't have this "feature")
Está rica esta cancion. Es de pura poesía. O sea que no entiendo todas las palabras; pero siento con Clarissa la alegria de la banda y la que la cantante expresa. Esta cancion me eleva.
A great poem in Spanish which should be enjoyed in Spanish. While the translation gives lots of new vocab (with poetic license) the true enjoyment is in the flow of Spanish and not in the clumsiness of an English translation!
But the concept of the subjunctive is different in English and is little understood by most anglófonos. For example:
Te di el dinero para que me dejaras en paz. - In the English subjunctive form "I gave you the money so that you should leave me alone."
Whereas to use "would leave me alone" should be in the conditional: "Te di el dinero para que me dejarías en paz.
Or are the two subjunctive concepts interpreted "differently" ?
Hello. Can someone provide insight please? It says you use Hay in front of a noun so why is it used to say something is foggy. I am sure that foggy is an adjective just like the word sunny so why is esta used to say something is sunny but you can’t use it to say it is foggy?
Can you explain how que su acts as a replacement for cuyo? I tried looking this up online but was unable to find anything.
Does “Que me ensucias la camisa” literally mean You will dirty me, (specifically my) the t-shirt, where using the article la acts as a stand-in for a possessive adjective?
I think = creo = I create. How would someone know which I mean?
te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza
In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?
Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable
Gracias
Hola,
Would it be possible to also say '...mi seccion favorita es la de musica' as well the given "...mi seccion favorita es la seccion de musica"?
Gracias.
