Hola,
El título de este ejercicio indica que el nombre del rey mago es "Melchior" pero el texto usa una ortografía diferente de "Melchor."
¿Hay una diferencia?
Saludos
John
My understanding was that the accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless another syllable is accented. Given that where does the accent fall on “peinar”? Is it not split into pe in ar?
El menor = el más pequeño
El peor = el más malo
How does it work for :-
el/la/los/las+ más/menos + pequeño/-a/-os/-as = menor/menores
el menos pequeno =? the least smallest - would you use the biggest - el más grande?
el/la/los/las + más/menos + malo/-a/-os/-as = peor/peores
el menos malo=? does this translate to the least bad - would you use el más bueno?
Thanks
julie
I am curious of the "la he" / "las he" used in a few examples. In what lesson is that discussed? Thank you.
How does one know if
"Hay un incidente ahí; tendrán que llamar a la policía."
should be translated as
1) There is an accident there; they MIGHT have to call the police (probability)
vs
2) There is an accident there, they WILL have to call the police (statement of fact)
Thanks
Hello! I'm not understanding why these cardinal points sometimes have a "r" and some have a "d" in the name (as bolded). Can you explain this further? ie: El sureste as south-east makes sense (literally south+east), but what is sudeste??
El sureste/sudeste = south-east
El suroeste/sudoeste = south-west
El noreste/nordeste = north-east
El noroeste = north-west
I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too.
I got this incorrect: Translate: It is ten to nine. My answer: Son las diez meno nueve. Correct Answer: Son las nueve diez. Isn't that 9:10, rather than what the question is asking
