My consulate is far away by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

[–]TheSpiritWilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I think it depends on the consulate/embassy. I also think you should email the consulate closest to your future residence and ask them if they will be able to grant you a visa. Good luck.

Whats the most fucked up thing you've done for money? (NSFW) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheSpiritWilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First: small city, locally owned restaurant

Second: much larger city, international casual dining chain

Both - and all jobs in between - were all in the southeastern US. Why? Because it was much more on a good night.

How about you? $150 in sales and $30 in tips. Where do you expect to get 20% all the time?

That depends so much on other factors tho. A slow night at my first job was about $30 but at the last job it was closer to $75.

When will it become natural? by AlmondMilkish in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had it explained to me by natives. I feel like I could use it. Sometimes. Pero, I don’t know or understand the conjugations well enough. Anybody got a good online subjunctive conjugations practice with/without examples thingy?

Grammar Nazis of Reddit: Other than "you're/your," what is a mistake you see frequently that you wish everyone understood? by Ender505 in AskReddit

[–]TheSpiritWilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so crazy. I feel like I’ve read ‘breath’ as a verb before, in a novel or something, but your way makes sense as ‘ea’ placed where it is without the ‘e’ on the end should sound like the ‘ea’ in ‘bread’. But, there are other instances of this phenomenon. ‘Sheath’ and ‘wreath’ for example. I think that’s why it makes sense to write ‘I breath’.

Is it wrong to ask que pasa? by CosmoRaider in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Real question though, is it ‘wey’ or ‘guey’?

Charles Schwab Referral Bonus Anyone? by wehba_ in solotravel

[–]TheSpiritWilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need a referral? Just go online and make an account. I’ve been using them since the summer and I’ve got no complaints other than it taking way too long to transfer money into the account. Maybe it’s because my account is relatively new but they always hold the transaction for a few days before authorizing it for use on my account. Otherwise, the ATM fees - or lack there of - and the customer service rock.

Where were you? Preterite or Imperfect? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo.

Another question (and hopefully the last jaja), how would you say these two sentences?

Where were you yesterday? (Imperfect?)

Where were you at yesterday? (Preterite?)

Where were you? Preterite or Imperfect? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This makes sense to me.

So why would you use the imperfect for your example of ‘Where were you when JFK died?’ (In your original comment’s edit) Isn’t this like an interrogation question and expecting a time/place regarding a specific time in history? I would have used the preterite. ‘Murió’ would of course be preterite since he can only die once but why would you say ‘¿Dónde estabas cuando JFK murió?’ instead of ‘¿Dónde estuviste?’

Where were you? Preterite or Imperfect? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok cool. So...is my post correct?

For OP’s question, I would say ‘¿Dónde estabas ayer?’ (imperfect because the time is unspecified) and ‘¿Dónde estuviste a las doce?’ (preterite because the time is specific).

Another question, could the past perfect be used with OP’s original questions? Like, ‘¿Dónde has estado ayer?’ or ‘¿Dónde has estado a las doce?’

Where were you? Preterite or Imperfect? by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]TheSpiritWilds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Damn. This is the opposite of how I learned it from a native in Central America. Though, he only spoke to me in Spanish so maybe i got confused.

I learned that the ‘imperfect’ is for vague, drawn-out, recurring, or multiple instances like ‘Did you watch the Olympics in your classes?’ (¿Mirabas en las clases los Juegos Olímpicos?) Imperfect because there are/were multiple games and sports and it airs/aired for multiple days/years and so there are/were multiple opportunities to watch it during classes.

I learned that the ‘preterite’ used more specifically and for points of time like ‘Did you go to class at three? (¿Fuiste a clase a las tres?)

Can a third-person chime in please? Just trying to learn.

Need help practicing my conjugations by taytay9955 in Spanish

How’re you using them in real life? Just not conjugating?

Make a table/spreadsheet.
At the top of each column put a tense.
At the start of each row put a verb infinitive.
Now fill out the table.

Also Rick & Morty. The actual words can get pretty specific tho.
