Hi everyone,
Most of you now know me as I post a lot on the forums here. After talking with senior´s and moderators, We have decided to open a few off topic threads that are desinged to help people with language learning. Here at GMC we have a wide variety of differant nationalities, languages and cultures. So within this forum, I will be giving advice on practical spanish in everyday life, translation queries, how to integrate effectively with spaniards and latin americans, living in Spain or Latin America and many other issues around this topic. I would be happy to take any questions about your Spanish, the great thing here at GMC is we have a lot of Spanish speaking members aswell, so they can correct me aswell lol!!!! ![]() ![]() With all that being said, any queries or worries with your grammer, transaltions or anything you can think of, don´t hesitate to make a post!!!! Hope to speak to you all soon, Jamesito ![]() |

hahaha yes it all looks ok luciana, although it was meant for non spanish speakers lol
![]() In spanish "it" does not exist everything is masculine or feminine, so let´s say you want to talk about a concert that you went to, your going to say, The concert was amazing, I really loved it!!!!, it would transalte as El concierto fue increible (or asombroso), me encantó!!! "it" will always take the form of he or she, this example is in preterite or past tense. "it" as an object would be translated as "lo" o "la" or "Los" and "Las" if plural. As you can see it´s masculine or femnine. it´s one or the othert and If you don´t mention a specific item, the "it" in english will always take a masculine form in Spanish. An example. would be "i don´t know where to put it", this would be, No sé donde ponerlo , the "lo" represents the "it" in english and as no thing is actually mentioned it takes a masculine ending. If the conversation was more like, Pasame la Botella..., Pues no sé donde ponerla (Give me the bottle..., I don´t know where to put it!!!) you would have to use the feminine version of "it" as "la botella" is feminine. This is a little complicated but it comes with practice!!!! Hope this helps someone lol Jamesito ![]() |
