Hey Everyone! I work in a print shop and a few times a weeks a week I get customers who speak only Spanish. I took a few years of Spanish so my conjugation and vocab isn't terrible, but that was years ago, so I'm trying to learn again in the context of sales/transactions. I usually hand the customer a form to fill out and ask them to write their contact info etc and then I want to say, "We have/sell/offer/make business cards in boxes of 250, 500, and 1000", I'm not sure which verb is more correct given the context (or if this sentence is even correct): Vendemos cajas de doscientos cincuenta ..read more

Hello, I am happily learning Spanish, and listening to the audio lessons on language transfer. It said you can add pronouns me, te, lo, la, las etc. to the end of a infinitive verb verte, verlo, and you can add it before the verb if it’s conjugated, te veo, lo veo, so my question is what about words like escuchame, dime?? Are these reflexive verbs? Thank you for any help. Hola, Estoy felizmente aprendiendo español y escuchando las lecciones de audio sobre la transferencia de idiomas. Dijo que puedes añadir los pronombres me, te, lo, la, las etc. al final de un verbo infinitivo verte, verlo, y ..read more

Which one is correct? Di a Sofía que le llaman por teléfono. Di a Sofía que la llaman por teléfono. In the book it says “la” should be used and “le” was “incorrect”. But before that it also says some people use le in place of lo when referring to a person. Can someone please explain this? submitted by /u/DueChemist2742 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

these are all practice questions from practice makes perfect. 1.) I take off my shoes and put on my slippers Me quito los zapatos y me pongo las zapatillas 2.) i take my dogs to the park every day llevar a mis perros al parque todas las dias 3.) I put my towels in the bathroom pongo mis toallas en el bano ok, why is #1 not "mis" and instead los? why is #2 not "los" but instead "A MIS" and why is # only "mis" and not "a mis" or "los" this little distinction is confusing me, and would love clarity from someone!

Everything I have found about "let's go" in Spanish is just used in the context of "let's go to the store"/"vamos a la tienda". How can this be said in the slang way it is in the United States, which is simply expressing excitement or enthusiasm for something. For example, "let's go, that's cool/sick/awesome/etc.!" I know this is something that would vary from region to region, but I'm looking for the way of expressing this that is the most universal. submitted by /u/MontyMole98 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve read conflicting answers. What I have written in my notes is this: When wanting to say an inanimate object (“it”) is performing an action (without using the noun), you would use the él/ella pronouns depending on the gender of the noun + conjugated verb. La pelota rueda = the ball rolls Ella rueda = it rolls (Ella because La Pelota is fem) If it’s plural you use ellos/ellas Las pelotas ruedan = the balls roll Ellas ruedan = they roll Is this correct? submitted by /u/stopdoingthatidiot [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Can someone please explain the many alternate versions of conjugations for corroer? Coroo, corroigo, and corroyo are all listed as present indicative ‘yo’ forms. Multiple entries are shown for many other conjugations of corroer, to corrode. Are these regional differences? Are there guidelines about which one should be used in any particular context? I came across the word ‘corroía’ while reading, and then I looked it up in Spanish Dict. My guess was that it was a conjugation of correr. No. It was a version of corroer which means ‘to corrode’. The word corroer seems a tongue twister, with both ..read more

I worked yesterday -> preterite because that has a clear start and end I worked at Domino’s Pizza when I was in college -> imperfect because there’s no clear end or beginning, it was simply a period of time I was using a kind of “beginner’s understanding” before this that relied heavily on grammar but I feel this is a more conceptual understanding because they both use “worked” but have different meanings when it comes to the past tense in Spanish. ¡Gracias por tu ayuda! submitted by /u/tenniscalisthenics [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
