ya es hora de que aceptes !Gracias!
There are some excellent Spanish teachers on UA-cam, though the way you teach resonates most with me. You’re simply the best.
Thank you! 😃
I totally agree with you Denise x
My Native Speaker tutor taught me that ya es hora by itself (and with some inflection) can mean-"It's about time!" Wonder if you & Linda agree? Thanks for all your great videos!
Yes, we would agree.
Teaching the subjunctive by repeating one trigger at a time (rather than many all at once) is a good way to get that trigger to stick. Thank you!
You're welcome. It's such a big topic that I've found that breaking it down into bite-sized chunks makes it easier to remember and use.
excited for the ya video
Damn 110k already! This year you’ll probably hit a million!
Awesome video as always, I can’t avoid the subjunctive any longer 🥲
@@Drp000.0 Don't avoid it, it's pretty easy and feels absolutely boss when you use it, casually dropping it into conversations like you're an expert, lol. And the good thing is, after a while it just starts feeling natural. The next stage, which I haven't quite reached yet, is when you start noticing that it sounds odd if you accidentally use an indicative when a subjunctive is needed. That's when you'll know you've made it, baby!
Can you do a video on the difference between ahora and ya?
This morning it was 93.8, and now it is 93.9k subscribers!!! 👍👍👍
Getting closer to that 100K goal!
Lol I’m a new subscriber
And now it’s 94K
Hola Qroo, soy peruano y hablo castellano, tus clases son muy didácticas para quienes quieren aprender y tu pronunciación es muy buena. Me gusta ver en youtube este tipo de videos. Dale, que sigan más.
Gracias. :)
Graciás Paul, como siempre tu leccion fue muy sencillo, informativo y practical. Me gusta la manera en que enseñas. Sigan llegando los videos por favor!
Gracias Jeff. Me alegra que te gusten mis videos.
TIL: bailar means to dance. Which means that that word in the catchy song bailando is not a noun describing a certain dance as I had thought for the past 20+ years but the gerund form "dancing". 🤯 Cerebro estallado
Amazing!!
Thanks for another great lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent lesson. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Casualmente, cuando una estructura tiene una forma con infinitivo y una forma con "que", esta última siempre es con "que" + subjuntivo... 🤔
Love this! Have watched it several times to cement it in. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Gracias-helpful y informative y appreciated!!!!!!
Very good again. Thank you.
A bit of fun though: I wonder whether though if you were having a party and had just had a strong disagreement with a big fellow it might be all together wise to say "Ya es hora de irse" if you were intending to address everybody. Does that make sense? Could be difficult.😂
Haha, I can see that potentially being a problem. :)
Thanks! Especially excellent lesson !
Thanks!
Otra vez, muchas gracias!
Eres fantastico! Muchas gracias
Gracias 😁
🙏
The idea for a video about ya is great ! It can’t come soon enough!
Adding to my list of "plug and plays" Muchas gracias
It's a good one. :)
Commenting for the algorithm ... thanks for your videos!
Thanks for that!
Praise God
I wish they taught Spanish this way in school! When using the pronominal do you see more of the subjunctive or not? Seems a lot easier to just use “ya es hora de irme”
You'll see the subjunctive used when talking about 3rd person singular and plural to make it clearer. Es hora de irse - doesn't say who is going so you will likely hear es hora de que Juan se vaya...etc
Another fabulous video! I'm not completely clear on when you use the infinitive or subjunctive with the pronominal though. Is the difference with intention or emphasis, like "(I guess) it's time for us to get up" / Ya es hora de levantarnos--versus--"We gotta get up (NOW)"/ Ya es hora de que nos levantemos"?
When you have a pronominal you can use either. The reflexive pronoun on the pronominal tells us who we're talking about.
@@QrooSpanish Thank you!
Hi Paul,
This is a topic that's been on my word list, but now you've expanded it further. Thanks.
What typical phrasing in English would make me think to translate to es hora de que + subjunctive in Spanish? Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious or missed it last time I reviewed your subjunctive series. I see in your answer below that it's tied to specificity, i.e. It's time for (someone/something) to do something. If so, is specificity vs generality a guide to using the subjunctive in general?
I just got back from a week in Spain. Even though I am still mostly a principiante, what I've learned through your video series really made a difference there.
There are some phrases out there that require the subjunctive and it is not clear why. Perhaps that thought here is that the speaker is trying to exert some influence over someone or something, but even that would not always be the case. Whenever I come across constructions like this one, I just commit them to memory and move on.
I'm glad to hear that my videos helped you out on your trip to Spain.
@@QrooSpanish Thanks. Learn it and move on. Tienes razón.
🙂👍
Thanks!
What's always thrown me off about the subjunctive is the future yo. I get 'cuando quieras', however I have been told 'cuando quiera' is wrong in reference to myself because 'I control the outcome'. Wouldn't that be the same case in this? I'm sure what you are saying is right, but again, tutors have said if you control the future its imperative. Wouldn't 'Ya es hora de que me vaya' be wrong,?
Gracias de antemano.
My advice is not to overthink the subjunctive. The subjunctive breaks down into different categories and sometimes there are constructions that just don't seem to fit -- this is one of those.
@@QrooSpanish Gracias por tus consejos y los videos.
I suppose that "Ya es hora de irse" could also mean "It's time for him/her/them/you (formal and plural) to go", but such ambiguity would make the dependent clause with the subjunctive and maybe the subject of the clause specified a better choice.
Exactly.
I like how you just slip in the phrase “pan comido” después de “piece of cake”. I wonder how many viewers catch that.
Totally caught that, verdad
Is it correct to say "El la hora ..."? (with the definite article)
You'll hear it with the definite article as well.
Imperative conjunction same as subjunctive??
In some forms, yes, but not all. For example, the affirmative tú commands are not conjugated the same as the subjunctive. Ven, véte, habla etc.
Hey I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for intermediate-advanced listening content. In the podcasts I’ve found, the people talk slow and the movies I’ve seen (at least at this point) usually have a pretty neutral accent not distinct to one country which is what I’m trying to get (thinking Mexican) so I’d appreciate suggestions or what other people have used.
Have you tried listening to newscasts from Mexico? There are several available through UA-cam.
@@QrooSpanish Thank you for your response I’ll try that!
The hosts of the How to Spanish podcast speak at a pretty normal pace, and they're Mexican.
"No Hay Tos" is a good Mexican Spanish podcast and UA-cam channel.
Interesting to note that you indicated that you will be releasing a video on the use of “Ya” and a different UA-cam channel dedicated to teaching Spanish language just released a video on this very topic (it came out roughly 24 hrs after your video was first posted). Hmmm… Coincidence? Or is the competition watching? Personally if I were trying to learn Spanish, I’d watch as many different perspectives as possible. As a fluent speaker who learned by immersion, I only watch yours specifically because you explain the underlying “porqué” of the grammar, sentence structure, names of various tenses, etc. which I didn’t learn since I wasn’t in formal classes. I’m like Linda, “It just sounds right”, but my language nerd side wants to understand why.
I didn't know that someone just did a video on ya. I guess that takes the pressure off me to do it...lol.
@@QrooSpanish Ja ja. It made me think they’re watching your videos and when you said you were going to do one on “Ya” they decided to get theirs out first. But I could be wrong and the universe is aware inquiring minds want to know more about “ya” so it’s in the global ether.
@@QrooSpanish I haven’t watched that one, so no idea how good it is. I just saw the title in my feed.
Why the reupload? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
There was a typo in an example that people kept commenting on.
Didn’t this already come out?
I fixed some typos and reuploaded it.
Didn't you post this video yesterday? Or is there a glitch in the Matrix?
I corrected some typos and uploaded it again.
where'd my comment about sentences lol. oh well
I fixed the typo and uploaded it again. The old comments were deleted with the old video.
While talking about the Great Wall (which I believe you oversimplified), you showed pictures Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Personally, I would only want to use the subjunctive if I have to. Seems like using the infinitive is much easier.
I agree. It is much easier.
I wonder if The Keystone to the The Keystone is knowing when and why to use "de que" instead of "de" and why "de que" makes it Subj, but then again maybe that's just unnecessarily too deep. Anyway good job.
If it helps, only the infinitive of a verb can follow DE:
antes de empezar el proyecto - before beginning the project
Ya es hora de comer. It's time to eat.
If you want to conjugate that verb, you have to add que:
Antes de que empecemos el proyecto - Before we begin the project...
Ya es hora de que comamos. It's time for us to eat.
As far as conjugating that verb into the subjunctive, that is determined by the clause before QUE. Some clauses trigger it, some don't. Ya es hora de que....is one that does.
Hey yeah Tx Paul. That helps a lot.
I appreciate it because I'm an old school guy who believes in the old "Feed a man a fish, feed him for a day..." and your explanation here is definitely "Teach a man to fish" that really helps me with the big picture. Tx again. @@QrooSpanish
@@user-ve8lt1bx1z Just so you know, it’s not just new learners who may trip up on “de” vs “de que”. The Real Academia Española, official arbiter of all things governing the Spanish language (proper use, rules, grammar, new words etc.), has entire treatises on “deísmo” and “dequeísmo”, which highlight the improper ways many native speakers interchange these two, and establishing their correct grammatical use.
Interesting you say that cause I just read that exact same thing about "dequeismo y queismo" and it really helped because they said that many speakers ignore exact rules and often drop de from de que, which I've seen in songs. Anyway tx for the heads up.@@mwiebe2663
Why do you say hore......is it not horaa?
Im saying hora.
@@QrooSpanishGood but sounds as if you ade saying horee....
Paul's videos are good, but I don't see the need to repeat the sentences, especially when they are displayed on the screen.
Thanks for the feedback. Some people have suggested that I say them twice because I tend to move through material very quickly.
Este es español más o menos avanzado. Hombre, hablemos español, porfis.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Thanks!
Thank you!
