    you shoud say "hablamos pronto" ó, "hablamos al rato", ó "hablamos luego". Anyway, as you use it probably as a farewell, this means not exactly that you want or have to talk to this person, is more a sample of good manners when you say good bye, than a real meeting, much diferent from saying "let's talk on sunday", or "I'll talk to you on sunday", "hablamos el domingo", which is more for real purposes of talking to someone in that specific day. So, it's important to know the communicative difference considering the intentions of the speakers, wanting to say good bye, arrenging an appointment, a meeting or a date. Sometimes, people use Let's talk soon when they have a real need to talk to someone, but dont know exactly when they can do it, but finally the speakers have to arrange it and say ok, let's talk on sunday, in you house maybe, etc. regards.

    Esta frase es algo así cómo una satira de una campaña que pretende prevenir accidentes automovilísticos, que originalmente diría "si va a tomar no maneje". La satira, lo gracioso, viene de la ridiculizacion de la relación entre el bever y el manejar (y la posibilidad de estrellarse) y el acto de fumar, marihuana, por ejemplo y quedar en un estado de elevacion, relajacion, como tal, Volar. entonces, para que correr el riesgo de estrellarse al tomar y manejar, si puedes simplemente volar fumandote algo bien suave!!! jeje, saludos

    answers are ok, but let me clarify this a little bit more. the word "pues" has a different variety of meanings. we can start with the more common ones having always in mind that whatever the function is, the use of "pues" is intended to respond and anyway to continue with a current conversation: 1. pues may be understood as a confirmation, denial or refusal of something according to the next or previous idea you are expressing: pues, yo acepto = well, i agree = you express agreement, because you confirm the good way things go pues creo que esta mal. = well, i think it´s wrong = "pues" supports your opinion: confirms your disapproval on sth. pues entonces vámonos!! = ok, so we leave! = this can be for example an angry reaction by a group of people after an argument. they refuse something and confirm it by leaving. Usually in archaic or rural spanish, even dialectical, the use of pues, has this constant function. 2. Secondly pues can be used in common language but is more constant in poetical or highbrow language, very useful. it works as an explicative conjunction similar to as (for giving reasons) and because in some cases: no se pudo juntar el dinero, pues nadie prestó = money could n´t be collected, as nobody gave anything. la tristeza era mucha pues el padre había muerto = sadness was huge, because/as the father had dead at the same time "pues" may be combined with "porque" to give affirmative/negative strong answers with a more or less logical or obvious answer: ¿por que mamá se ve gorda? pues porque está embarazada!! why does mom look fat? well, because she´s pregnant!! por qué el cielo es azul? mmm, well, yes because. why is the sky blue? mmm, pues porque sí. In general terms "pues" is used in spanish to strengthen an emphasize the sense of what you say. Because of this, is possible to find it more in spoken and poetical than in technical or official language i hope this can help...... y pues que tengas mucha suerte!!

    hi there you, it is great the way you chose to learn spanish, there´s a lot of media and arts you can consult to learn spanish, I´d start with Andres calamaro, he is argentinian but his spanish is very understandable, you can listen to los prisioneros. songs like amiga mia, muevan las industrias, are a little dificult, but you´ll be alright, the other band you can listen to is Los enanitos verdes, etc. a good movie you can start with is "y tu mamá tambien", easy to find, so, go ahead. bye

    merendar es un verbo, que está en infinitivo ciertamente. el uso de la preposición de, antes del verbo lo convierte en un VERBO SUSTANTIVADO, lo que significa que no es tanto una acción sono una actividad, y así un sustantivo. esto en en verdad sencillo. la frase se puede entender así: denos de merendar (denos algo para comer como merienda; denos MERIENDA, que es un sustantivo como tal.) y, que batir de palma (donde batir también esta sustantivado), es como un reproche, por la tardanza de la merienda, o por lo mucho que hay que pedirla. no se en realidad donde se usa, pero me suana muy español, y yo como coy colombiano, tal vez no te la podría explicar bien. en la segunda, sin conocer el contexto creo que lo que trata de hacer la hija comunicativamente es insistir, reiterar con fuerza que ella manda sobre su casa y sus hijos, no su madre. ese ELLA, como ya se ha dicho es un poco ambiguo (podria ser la mama o la hija), pero creo que habla de la hija, dada l a intencion de la frase, que es la que te acabo de decir. espero que esto te sirva de algo.

    subjunctive is a form in spanish that you can use in present and past adn expresses a potential action or intention, for example no vas - simple present you dont go no vayas - has the connotation of a potential action i dont want you to go. it has lots of functions, mainly to express non real possibilities, (si yo tuviera dinero...) chish ia a conditional as well) potential activities or intentions. no lo hagas.... do not do it (though you potentially can do it) or intention: check it out: piensas que esta bien - you think is right now piensa que puede estar bien - you think this might be fine, pottentially.
