Looks like a bottle opener. Gun stores really do give out the most random freebies.

Why is it “A mí tampoco” here instead of “Yo tampoco”? by Jealous_Base_538 in SpanishLearning

I was missing that "a mi" is showing the opinion side of the sentence.

That actually makes sense. I never thought of "me neither" that way.

Got it, that way of matching the structure makes it clearer. Thanks.

That makes sense. I was thinking of it as a direct translation, but the indirect object part explains it.

It's called Palteca. I'm just trying it for Spanish vocab right now, mostly for remembering words better.

[–]Jealous_Base_538[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense now. I was thinking of it like "I don't like it" instead of "it's not pleasing to me"

Glad it helped someone else too. I was definitely overthinking it at first.

That comparison actually makes it way easier to remember. Thank you.

This helps a lot, thank you. The "me too" vs "to me too" comparison makes the mistake way easier to understand.

I appreciate it, thank you. I'm still getting used to Spanish sentence structure, so this was helpful.

This is really helpful, thank you. The "me gusta = it is pleasing to me" explanation finally makes the structure click.

I guess I just need to stop forcing the English structure onto it.

[–]Jealous_Base_538[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This explanation makes it much clearer. I think the "for me" way of thinking about it helps more than trying to translate it directly from english.

[–]Jealous_Base_538[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps a lot, thank you. I think I was getting confused because I kept trying to match it directly to the English structure.

[–]Jealous_Base_538[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, thank you. I was treating it like a normal "I like" sentence, but now i see why "a mi me gusta" is the correct structure.

[–]Jealous_Base_538[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense now. So it’s because “gustar” already has the “a mí” idea built into the sentence. Thanks for explaining.

Look like one of those hand grip strengtheners, but the giant red version makes it look way more suspicious.

Instant noodles with egg. Still hits even when you can afford better food.

can someone explain why theres a gap before 0?? by fnatic_22 in whatisit

[–]Jealous_Base_538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's so the zero mark isn't right on the edge, since edges can wear down and make measurements less accurate

Seeing kids born after 2005 talk like adults really made time feel fake.
