When are irse and salir used? What's the difference?
Thanks
Ricky
Hello,
For hours around noon/midnight, in Spanish, is "mediodía" only used for noon sharp? Or is it also used with "menos/y + minutes"? For instance, for 12:30 PM, would you say "Es mediodía y media" or is it best to say "Son las doce y media"?
Same for "medianoche".
From your example, Spaniards translate "corner table" as "mesa de la esquina". Would it be more accurate to say "mesa del rincón" since it is bound to be an inside corner?
Yes, I know I'm a pedant!!
I am getting confused with vuestro's use:
Am I correct in assuming the word "vuestros: is related to the "vosotros" informal usage in Spain that is not used in Latin America.
What I am wondering is; What would be the LatAm version of the informal plural yours, i.e. vuestros?
It would be really helpful if these differences were noted here (and elsewhere as well)
(By the way: Well done on noting them in some of the lessons I've seen)
I find the Spanish use of "vos" confusing, as I have been learning the LatAm version. In addition, I am French, and in French the "vous" is formal! Yikes!
Thank you for your time.

In "Ella era modelo," why is this not "
"Ella era modela"? Is model a masculine word regardless of who is the model?
