Wow, thank you!
Great lesson! I appreciate material like this for fine tuning my Spanish. Growing up in Los Angeles and later moving to Mexico, I’ve learned Mexican Spanish, and I can tell you, diminutives and augmentatives are a big part of regular use. With regard to -ote, I’ve seen it used both neutrally and negatively. Example-grandote for something bigger than normal, like a 5-gallon water bottle vs. a gallon jug. That’s neutral. An example of a negative is padrote, meaning pimp, but it can also refer to prize animal being used as a stud in an agricultural context.
I’ve heard (-ito, -ita, -cito, -cita) used in a variety of ways. Most commonly it’s a sign of affection, but it can also be used to minimize. A storekeeper might say that something costs “cinco (or whatever number) pesitos” to emphasize the item’s low cost. Cuanto cuesta este pan dulce? (How much does this sweet bread cost?) Cuesta cinco pesitos cada uno. (Each one costs five little pesos.) And while it is more unusual, I’ve experienced the diminutive used as a sign of disrespect to gain psychological advantage. Long story short, a thug in the neighborhood called me Marquito. I didn’t think anything of it, but one day he tried to intimidate me into giving him money, and I realized he had been trying to set up a psychological power imbalance for months. In any case, this is the only time in ten years that I’ve become aware of this more subtle use. (And the outcome of this unpleasant situation was that the neighborhood backed me up-it’s one reason why it’s important to get to know your neighbors and be willing to help them. You never know when you’ll need help.)
But I’m getting off topic. One thing I enjoy about Spanish is how pelón is a nickname for a bald person. Also, being in Mexico, Chingón is a great word, loosely translated as “bad ass”. Fonzie es un chingón. Probably not a word you would use in a more formal situation, but not too crude in informal situations.
We don't always use the same endings in european Spanish, but the mechanics are the same. We also have the subtle disrespectful use, that is more common that you might think. All in all, I would say that diminutives and augmentatives are really important in romanic languages, and in Spanish they can change completly the meaning of the speech. You can say "tiene un perrito / un perrillo / un perrete / un perrazo / un perrote" and those endings are giving a lot of information about what you think of that dog (the size is not so important, actually).
Hi Dr. Evans,
I really appreciate your knowledge and effort.
I will be 66 years old in a month.
I have learned a lot from your Spanish lessons.
However, I am trying to learn French in the same time.
Could you please add something else to the French version so I could find you easier on UA-cam ?
Thank you so much for doing this exceptional job !

very interesting lesson again and someday makes my spanish tongue going to be eloquent in conversation again and again thanks alot prof ! Dios te bendiga siempre !
¡Gracias a tí Señor Danny Evans!
De nada amigo!
Today I also learned fun and interesting lots of adjectives. Thanks a lot.
Hi can I ask why a chair ~ silla is feminine but a big chair is sillón and masculine
Yes I have exactly the same question please.
Patriarchy is common around the world,and the idea that men are larger than women, generally ,therefore larger things are masculine and smaller things are childlike or feminine. Just my guess.
there is no reason, you just have to memorize it like this, in Spanish there are many words that change their gender from masculine to feminine and vice versa, For example "el agua" (the water) is masculine and "las aguas" (the waters) is feminine, "el area" means the area and is masculine but "las areas" means the areas and is feminine but "un area" is again masculine and that means "an area" but again, "some areas" would be "unas areas" and it turns to feminine again, and so many many many words do that.
¡Mucho Gracias Maestro!
De nada amigo!
Thanks!
Thank you Kelly!!
I've been studying Spanish for 6 months and I enjoyed your video. I'd love for you to let me know my level of Spanish in your opinion if you have the time. Thanks!

Muchas gracias 🤗

I'm learning English 😅👨🏾🏫
Dude is too smart
Gracias maestro!
De nada amigo!
Hola
No es "aso" ni "asa", es con Z: "azo" y "aza"
Hey!! Can you do a video on how to use "porque", "porqué", "por que" and "por qué"??
¿Por qué? = Why?
Porque no me gusta. = Because I don´t like it
El porqué de mi decisión. = The reason for my decision.
Esta preocupado por que los niños enfermen = He's worried about children getting sick ; Ese es el motivo por (el) que te llamé = That's why I called you.
@@MrSmith1O1 thanks a lot
Actual lesson starts at at 02.00 If u don't have time for ads
Who else is combining these Spanish classes with Duolingo?
Yo
I am. I have tried many other apps and settled upon Duolingo because the teaching style and repetition level suits me pretty well. Most of the others are horrible when it comes to teaching verb conjugations in a way I could understand. Dr. D does the job SO MUCH better. So I still use Duolingo for practice and repetition, but I fall heavily on The Language Tutor to help me understand things better.
Yo también
hi Danny , so I have a question : coche and nube both ends with 'e' , but when it comes to their diminutive forms , coche ends with cito and nube ends with cita, why is that ? aren't they supposed to be same ? I'm confused on this , thank you for your lessons !
Because coche is a masculine noun while nube is a feminine one
Thanks Danny. Are ‘ísimo’ and ‘ísima’ not classed as augmentives? “La casa es grandísima” for example.
Good question. They are actually considered superlative adjectives in Spanish, so technically not augmentatives.
muchas gracias por tus lesiones en youtube por ti yo puedo hablar mejor espanol
Speech thapery
As there are so many diminutive why not do a sheet we can download.
One is coming soon. On our website (thelanguagetutor.co) there are written practices you can download. I'm still trying to get them all done and uploaded so hopefully it will be there soon.
i=e
e=a
ai=i
Yu=u
Please show the vocal because you spell them diferent to other languages and it is confusing to non english speakers, thanks.
R u srs 😅😅😂😂😂😅
U funny
One quick question after watching this video. Do spanish speakers really speak this way often?
¨La camarera se la sirvió¨ (to my english speakiing mind) seems a bit confusing or vague. ¨The waitress them it served¨. The IT part confuses me a bit. I would probably have left ¨the food¨, and said ¨La camarera les sirvió la comida¨. I am sure either way works in real life. Obviously, the short verstion of the sentence will make more sense when it occurs within a longer conversation where ¨the food¨ had been previously mentioned. Without another sentence as a pre-requisite, leaving ¨the food¨ in the sentense seems to make a bit more sense.
The spanish style of speech which switches the sequence of words is confusing to my English mindset, although after 3 months of intense study, it IS beginning to sink into my THICK SKULL.
yep they do apparently
Listen brain
How como está el trabajo Dios y porpara y no ser feliz y bendiciones in
Hay alguien quien quiere practicar español conmigo?
How?
@@MrSmith1O1 en whatsapp o por las llamadas.. quieres?
Are these really that important?
funny that in filipino we kinda use the same thing with ito and ita. Kutsarita, angelito, angelita, platito...
because we filipinos adopted it from spanish! cool, right?
Idk about augmentatives but diminutives hypocoristics are kuting instead of pusa but muning, ganid bantay aso etc
la chiquita... ahahhaha!!! like the banana brand.... ahahahah!!!
11:28 disagree on your example.
La flauta vs el flautín. Hay un cambio de género xq hay un cambio existencial. No es un diminutivo al uso.
Pass lo mismo con la Viola y el violin o el violón.
-in es la versión de -ino que se utiliza cuando el final acaba en T. Como en los dobles diminutivos -Ito -ino
Chico> chiquito > chiquitín
Eso me recuerda que te has saltado los dobles diminutivos, de uso tan corriente que hasta Abba have canciones con ellos : chiquitita.
Además te has dejado -illo/a que tienen ese sentido aún más cariñoso.el perrillo
Por otro lado, sillón es Arm chair. Otro caso más de “aumentativo” que no lo es.
13:46 esto sí que no me lo esperaba. Exitazo escrito con ese en vez de con zeta. Error grave, lo puedes pronunciar como te de la real gana, pero es una zeta -Azo/a y también puede siginificar golpe dado con
15:00 is just -on. Abej -on. No hay ningún -ejón
16:20 and libraco
Funfact
Ona = mujer = woman in Japanese haha
