    I've been studying Spanish for a while now and I've watched all your videos and knew a lot of what you spoke about in them. However your explanations make it stick in an unique manner.
    Your jumpcuts keep me interested and your pace is GREATLY APPRECIATED. I hate slow learning, keep that pace. Muchas gracias mi gringo hermano.

    Excellent video. I particularly liked learning what I call a "golden nugget" of truth from this video, which was that adjectives ending in "e" or a consonant are not subject to gender matching. Thanks for taking the time to educate your fellow gringos.

    I am enjoying your videos, is really showing a lot of work behind to make them going straight to the point. Nice job.
    I would like to add that adjective could also go before the noun, but that is changing their meaning slightly. However, it is not used in spoken language and is more usually seen in literature. What I am explaining here is an advance rule in spanish.
    When an adjective is going before the noun it is called "epíteto", and actually is an adjective "not needed as it is a property well known by everybody". For example, being 100% correct (not everybody is in spoken language) you should say "la blanca nieve" and not "la nieve blanca", because "nieve" (snow) is always "blanca" (white).
    In literature is used for providing extra meaning to some adjectives and situations, I always liked the following example I learnt:
    Brave soldiers climbed the hill.
    Los soldados valientes subieron la colina : means that only those soldiers that were brave climbed the hill, so some of them did not because were cowards.
    Los valientes soldados subieron la colina: the adjective is not needed, so that means that "valientes" is a property of all soldiers. So it means, that all the soliders climbed the hill AND all of them were brave.
    It is an small change in the sentence, but again, is an advance rule more typical from literature. In spoken language people usually make explicit what they want to say having a longer sentence.

  • @gonzalo6467
    @gonzalo6467 9 років тому +4

    Jordan, i want to mess up a little your class. Just for make it more complicated and funny. Funny ha ha and funny weird. In spanish we can also say "pequeño" with the same meaning than "chico". We can say "un pequeño pequeño", "un chico pequeño", "un pequeño chico", "un chico chico" (in all cases means: a little boy, a small boy). But also we got the morphem "it", which means 'small', it makes the things smaller (see what i did here ;P), and goes before the gender mark. And it's accumulative. So we can say: pequeñito, pequeñitito, pequeñitititititititititititititito hahahaha :P Thanks for the videos!

In one video you said that problema (problem) was masculine so I wrote los problemas estan dificil. I thought for adjectives you cant add onto the end unless is it a i o u? I also dont understand wether to use estan in my answer or would it be just estar or esta?

    en español en verdad no tenemos un ORDEN que utilizamos siempre. desordenamos y volvemos a ordenar la posición de las palabras siempre y cuando tengan sentido. en ciertas ocasiones pones las frases del revés y aparecen adjetivos ANTES del nombre para darle belleza y peso en la frase. un ejemplo simple:la florida tarde de primavera.

    • @juanearg
      @juanearg 9 років тому +3

      BigBoomer101 01 if a feminine word starts with a stressed "A" you have to change the article in the singular form, so that you don't have two "As" in a row. For example we say "El Agua" in singular, "Las aguas" in plural. "El Águila" in singular, "las águilas" in plural. If the A at the beginning is not a strong one, you just keep the feminine article.

    • @TheMaru666
      @TheMaru666 7 років тому

      BigBoomer101 "La agua "with those two" a" together souds weird . It' s called cacophony , and to avoid it we say " el agua " el águila" but they are still femenine words , so we say :" el agua fresca " or " El águila magestuosa " . And in plural it is :" Las aguas " and " las águilas " because the " s " of the plural avoids those two "a" together .
