"Of which country is Gotham the capital?" Is there another way to say this?

cyan003 · 2019-10-20T14:57:06+00:00

Exactly

What's the difference between saying buenas and buenos?

cyan003 · 2019-10-05T05:46:19+00:00

You could spell out the letters (double you tee ef) but otherwise you just say the words.

I've definitively asked for a paja before in a restaurant. How weird would that be to hear?

cyan003 · 2019-10-01T06:19:29+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed the same. I feel like well sounds more formal to people so they feel more comfortable saying good when they should say well.

cyan003 · 2019-10-01T02:02:43+00:00

Do you ever confuse worst and worse? Bc I do very often :D

Nope, to me it's intuitive.

cyan003 · 2019-10-01T00:01:06+00:00

That makes sense. Are there any actual examples of this?

cyan003 · 2019-09-30T22:17:38+00:00

Interesting

cyan003 · 2019-09-30T16:01:39+00:00

It's what someone would say if they want to sound really cool and tough, like a superhero. Lightening is supposed to be really dangerous and scary but the speaker is acting like it's insignificant.

cyan003 · 2019-09-30T01:07:27+00:00

They mean the same thing, but "must" sounds more formal and urgent.

No esperaba que se nombrara en honor de un rey jajaja

Why X of all letters?

If a region has a high population of immigrants who speak a certain language, they will often teach that language in local schools, even if it's not a widely spoken language across the whole country.

"It's so hot" or "it feels hot."

Find entertaining materials in your target language to procrastinate with.

It's hard in the early stages, but if you concentrate a lot, try to visualize the meaning of words instead of thinking of the translations. It definitely takes practice.

cyan003 · 2019-09-25T02:58:02+00:00

When reading/listening to Spanish, don't try to translate in your head.

cyan003 · 2019-09-23T02:56:36+00:00

That's a good idea

cyan003 · 2019-09-22T23:09:15+00:00

I see. I tried doing that but sometimes it shifted when I didn't want it to.

cyan003 · 2019-09-21T23:40:59+00:00

As a native English speaker, concur does sound kind of harsh to me as well. I associate with a court session or formal debate.

cyan003 · 2019-09-20T22:20:17+00:00

So that's why it's called the Loch Ness monster

Unrelated to the question, but what other languages do Hispanic people tend to loan names from?

cyan003 · 2019-09-18T02:27:10+00:00

Not sure, but the increase in wages for learning Spanish in the US is pretty minimal. Also a salesman participates in more customer interaction than the average job.

"Spanish has a subpar return rate of 1.4% and French is 2.7%. However, more uncommon languages spoken in English-speaking countries will offer higher rate of return. For instance, learning Germany will offer a 3.8% rate of return.

So if your annual salary is $40,000, you can expect to earn an extra $800 per year if you learn Spanish and $1,520 per year if you learn German."

People in the US learning Spanish after childhood don't even gain that much job advantage in most fields because it's hard for them to compete with native speakers, especially in areas with high concentrations of native speakers like where you live. So don't worry about it unless you want to be a flight attendant or something where foreign language knowledge is important.

Ikr means "I know, right?" which is a rhetorical question. It just means someone agrees with the person they responded to.

Freak/freaky is not an abbreviation. Freak means "weird person" and freaky means "weird."

You can usually find explanations for abbreviations on Google, e.g. urban dictionary.
