Spanish language Q&A Forum

I believe these were prompts etc for Spain and not LatAM... You had asked me to give you specifics:  Kwizbot gave me a very "Castilian" (Spain) hint with la mar de. It’s a colorful, slightly informal way to say "extremely" or "a lot of."

These two goals are going to be extremely difficult to achieve,

goal = objetivo, extremely = la mar de

Also this sentence:

but it is all about getting down to it and getting used to it. 

Kwizbot: pero todo es ponerse a ello y acostumbrarse. 

I was tempted to use "se trata de"... and found out that a person in Mexico or Colombia would likely say that specific sentence:

"...pero se trata de ponerse ….

Also this sentence:

 she could take a trip to some special place 

Kwizbot: 

ella podría dedicarse un viaje a algún sitio especial

You

ella podría hacer un viiaje en algún sitio especialIn Latin America, you are far more likely to hear "hacer un viaje" or even "tomar un viaje."

Is it safe to assume that invariable cuanto más can only be used with masculine form adjectives? Or if I wanted to imply that I was just speaking about women in the following example, “Cuanto más rubios, más atractivos para mí” could I use feminine form adjectives?

I don’t understand how the infinitive is less ambiguous than the gerund. Is it because the infinitive is directly associated with the verbal structure while the gerund could hypothetically be separated from the verbal structure by a comma? La escuché, (while I was) cantando en la ducha. 

Regarding incomplete and complete actions: Let’s say you’re hypothetically talking to someone about Carlos.

 He visto a Carlos fumar. 

I saw Carlos smoke. (complete action) Does this mean, I saw Carlos smoking. (But now he’s back at his desk. (action complete))

He visto a Carlos fumando.
I saw Carlos smoking. (action in progress) While this means I saw Carlos smoking. (He is still smoking outside if you are looking for him. (action in progress)) 

Thanks!
