Spanish language Q&A Forum

I feel like in modern English, we don't say 'one' does something, but rather, it's expressed using 'you' in the sentence without being a personal statement or piece of advice. 

Would this be a reasonable translation/interpretation?

Se duerme mejor con la conciencia tranquila.

- One sleeps better with a clear conscience.

- You sleep better with a clear conscience. 

The second sentence is not necesarily a personal statement. It can also be said impersonally like a general statement. 

I find that when I'm speaking Spanish, I over use 'you' too much in phrases like this because the sentence structure of 'one should...' doesn't occur to me. However, I can recognize the statement is impersonal while I'm saying it. 

It would be helpful to know if this is the structure I should be using in these situations. 

PS. I'm not referring to passing the quizzes but more for the knowledge of how to use this better in real communication. 

Gracias!

Quiz question: Ojalá ________ menos egoísmo en el mundo. ?

I wish there were less selfishness in the world.

(HINT: Use "haber" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)

In the above I answered “qué hubiera” and got it wrong, where the correct answer was “hubiera.” 

However, in a separate section, there was an explanation that “qué can be added after ojalá without changing the meaning.”

Can you clarify whether my “qué hubiera” answer should have been correct?

There doesn’t seem to be an example or text relating to placement in a tense with auxiliary ‘ha’ etc. I gather from the quiz question that you cannot interpose  nunca as in ‘no he nunca visto eso’. As this is the natural order in English (I have never seen that) it would be good to have some explicit mention in the text and examples. 

Hello,

 A couple of questions: 

1. How to tell when to use an article in cases like this: 

Kwizbot     Mañana vamos a ir a la Sierra de Atapuerca. 
You            Mañana vamos a ir a Sierra de Atupuerca.

2.  Why  “there” does not translate to “allá”

and many people travel there

Kwizbot     y muchas personas viajan a este lugar 
You            y muchas personas viajan allá

Hi room

Why do we use por que and not para que in the sentence 'Puse todo de mi parte por que no termináramos separados'

Hola,

re: the following sentences:

Kwizbot   no solo en España sino también en el extranjero.
You           no solamente en España pero también en el extranjero.

I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help
