- Coincido con Herman. Creo que en España la idea que hay de los ciudadanos americanos es mala a causa del gobierno actual de Bush, poca gente entiende aquí cómo ha conseguido ese señor llegar a ser el presidente del país. Por otro lado la agresiva política militar, y el derecho a tener armas de fuego es algo que no se entiende muy bien aquí. Por otro lado, vídeos como éste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE&feature=related hacen creer que los americanos son ignorantes y viven despreocupados del resto del mundo.0 votedFebruary 28, 20080
- "me faltabas tú" means that you weren't with her/him at that moment and she/he missed you. But in spanish the subject of the verb "faltar" is always the person or thing that is missed, as she/he said: "you were missed", but meaning that she/he felt your absence : "tú me faltabas (a mí)".0 votedFebruary 27, 20080
- La frase se utiliza para señalar que una cosa equivale a otra en poder, importancia, corrección, o habitualmente que una cosa es tan mala como otra. Si se habla de dos presidentes, se utiliza para señalar que da igual tener a uno o a otro, no hay diferencia. Si se habla sobre una elección entre hacer una cosa u otra, se utiliza que no importa o nos da igual hacer una cosa u otra, o en tono despectivo para decir que en en realidad no queremos hacer ninguna de las dos..., etcétera. Actualmente se suele utilizar una versión más breve del refrán: "Tanto monta, monta tanto."0 votedFebruary 6, 20080
- Friend: I spent a day today learning subjunctive mood. It is interesting. So the sentence "Es muy triste que hubieran muerto en un accidente de avión" in English would be "it is so sad that they had died in a plane accident". Is it correct? However, if I want to say "Most Chinese would rather learn English" What would be the applicable conjugation in Spanish. I am expressing an opinion. Would it be subjuctive? Thanks Merlinus: The first sentence is correct. The second sentence is translated to: "Most Chinese would rather learn English" = "La mayoría de los chinos preferirían aprender inglés" In this sentence the verb "aprender" is used in infinitive as a Sustantive to form the Object of the sentence. However if you say "Most Chinese would rather that American learn chinese", in this case the verb "learn" isn't working as a Sustantive, is working as a Verb with its own Subject (American) and Object (chinese). In Spanish it must be conjugated in past Subjuntive mood: "La mayoría de los chinos preferirían que los americanos aprendieran chino"0 votedJanuary 31, 20080
