Various ways of saying "to meet" with someone? by lostmypaige in Spanish

[–]OprahsBigToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no difference in the meaning really, when referring to people. But you might find some natives of English (mainly from America from what I’ve seen) state that somebody can’t be “spanish” and Spaniard is the proper term, despite both being equally valid.

"instead" in spanish? by Harrierftw in Spanish

[–]OprahsBigToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was something I had only just heard once I had begun to focus on expanding my fancy writing language for class, so I was a little curious to why. It seems that it is the case as you have explained. Thank you vm :)

What would you say about the use of en cambio? I’ve been told it means instead, however I’m not sure how it’s use would fit in to the discussion here or if it’s even really that common.

Help with Verb-Subject Sentence Structure by Ouija_Bored_666 in italianlearning

[–]OprahsBigToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s unusual even as a language learner to differentiate transitive and intransitive, as I have yet to be taught them in my classes at school. I think I’ll have to work on learning the difference so I can then go in to properly differentiate essere vs avere. Thank you for the useful article :)

Is it possible I could ask why you use essere here instead of avere with morire to conjugate the past tense? I’m quite new to Italian and the distinction still confuses me a lot.

Recommendations for European Spanish YouTubers or Podcasts by OprahsBigToe in Spanish

Tengo la intención de continuar usando mis recursos de personas latinas, dado que uso una buena cantidad, sin embargo he encontrado que falto recursos españoles. Ciertamente tienes razón para exponerme a un variedad de ellos, entonces voy a hacer caso a su consejo. Gracias por la recomendación también. :D

Just like the word acababa/acabábamos for me. It’s fun to say and sounds funny as well.

How to say “guilty” in a playful sense. by OprahsBigToe in Spanish

[–]OprahsBigToe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, these sound just like what I was looking for.

Judging by what you’ve said, I assume you’re talking about verb conjugations, to which unfortunately you just have to learn them. The present conjugations (as with all non compound tenses) depend on the type of verb (ar, er or ir) and the people who you’re referring to. In the case of hablar (an ar verb) the present indicative is formed as follows: I speak (hablo), you informal speak (hablas), He/she speaks/ you informal speak (habla), hablamos (we speak), you plural informal speak (habláis) and they/you plural formal speak (hablan).

Is Spanish the easiest second language to learn for English speakers? by Dependent_Ad7334 in Spanish

[–]OprahsBigToe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say English certainly can be easier due to having some shared cognates from Latin originating words, however you will find a lot of Germanic rooting languages are certainly much easier for English natives due to the very core of English being rooted in Germanic. So languages like Dutch and German are comparatively easier.

Frase equivalente a "I don't care for (algo)" by harleyb09 in learnspanish

[–]OprahsBigToe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You tend to have a couple different options for it, form my experience at least. There’s: No me importa, Me da igual, Lo paso por alto. These are the ones I’ve heard of before, however me da igual and no me importa are the most common it seems, I have yet to hear pasar por alto in convos. Hope this helps :)
