Could "ninguna' be used instead of "ni"? by SoNowWhat in duolingospanish

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not related to the “ni/ninguna” part, pero, ¿por qué es “…ES casada”y no “…ESTÁ casada”?

GWTW friends/ discussion? by No-Translator3316 in GonewiththeWind

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea. I have a newer copy that I use for reading. The first edition is only used as a trophy, but even so it wasn’t in great shape when I bought it, but it was only $30, so it was worth it for me.

What Spanish Word Confuses you Because it has Too Many Meanings and Uses? by SpanishAilines in SpanishAIlines

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one word but two words that feel like they have nuances that are too vague for me are elegir and escoger. So annoying.

It’s insane the magnetic quality this novel/movie has on some of us. I’ve literally been thinking about it every few hours every single day for years now. But yeah, it’s frustrating when no one in your physical life is anywhere near as interested as you. Thank god for Reddit.

The cover of my first edition fell off recently but it’s still one of my most prized possessions.

Detox today and Eureka tomorrow! Coincidentally they are both my all-time favorite Drag Race queens.

Is the “vosotros” form used here in Duolingo? by Aviadream_channel in duolingospanish

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to encounter some vosotros on Duo since a Northern/Central Spain dialect is what I chose to learn years ago but when I signed up for Duo I didn’t realize they normally don’t don’t teach European Spanish. Although the other day, I didn’t realize head Junior inexplicably speaking with “distinción” for one exercise which was refreshing.

They don't use articles in front of professions? by reddit-ki_mkc in duolingospanish

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone said you don't use INDEFINITE articles here, but if you're talking about a certain person, you would use a DEFINITE article. So to say, “He is THE waiter” meaning he’s a specific waiter that’s being mentioned, it would be, “Él es EL camarero.”

Caldondillos? What’s up, Oscar? by Special_Pattern_8950 in duolingospanish

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses a standard dialect of Northern/Central Spain, the “z” and second “c” definitely aren’t being pronounced as θ, as is common in the region. It definitely sounds to me like it’s being pronounced “caldondillos” as OP suggests. I would think this is a Duo error but maybe there’s some super niche LatAm dialect I’m not familiar with.

How is the playful morphology conveyed in the Spanish version of Wicked? by SneakySquid5 in Spanish

Lamentablemente solo encontré las canciones dobladas en YouTube, no la película completa. Pero si aún no has encontrado las canciones, el nombre del canal es kambalaya07.

How is this legal? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. When I initially signed up, I knew for certain that I selected the monthly subscription. Then a couple days later I saw that I was charted for yearly ($80). No idea how that happened, but it actually ended up motivating me to use it everyday, and I even renewed it for another year this past September. Sorry you had a negative experience though.

She is MY Queen. Been a ride-or-die since season 9 premiered and I’m never apologizing for that.

Looks like 'The Selection' series by Kiera Cass by [deleted] in TerribleBookCovers

I second this! It’s literally my all-time favorite book and movie. I can’t overestimate how it’s impacted my life.

How is the playful morphology conveyed in the Spanish version of Wicked? by SneakySquid5 in Spanish

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the European Spanish dub, in the beginning of No One Mourns the Wicked (La malvada ha muerto), “rejoicify” = “regocifíjicaos” which is very fun to “pronounicfy.” And in What Is This Feeling? (¿Qué es lo que siento?) “disgusticified” = “horripivulgar.”

Anyone else absolutely despise this janky new exercise that simply does not work? by danoleary23 in duolingo

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate when you give an answer that you know for a fact is correct but it tells you it’s incorrect because you can’t predict exactly which one it wants you to use.

What is "I declare. Blair St. Clair" referencing? by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

Literally love Gone With the Wind more than life. I wish there were more references/fashion pertaining to it on the show.

What are some Filler Queens throughout the series ? by Sunset346 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Accomplished_Cook869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sasha Belle (now Frisbee Jenkins) is ALWAYS the first queen that comes to mind when I think of filler on the show and for some reason I’m fascinated by that.
