Todos los videos que hacen son muy buenos pero, que sean más consistentes. Sería bueno tener un horario para salir con un video cada semana o cada dos semanas.
I've watched a few of your videos....they're all good, but to be honest I don't immediately know what you mean by a slightly new style. Maybe if I watched them side-by-side I'd know what you meant, but at first glance, they seem all similar in style. All excellent and clear.
super helpful, thanks
@@alex573 Our pleasure :)
Every spanish lesson video on youtube teaches the basic verbs, really basic sentance structure or goes straight to just talking like a native and expecting viewers to understand. No one takes the time to explain things like this so very well done and amazingly explained! Very easy and clear to understand and follow. Keep it up!
Yay, so glad you found it useful, Lauren 😀 We've got a lot of interesting topics in store for you!
¡Qué buenísimo video! Estoy mejorando mi español con dos profesoras de España (queremos mudarnos allí). Las dos me han contado: Usa "se me ha olvidado" en vez de "me olvidé". También he aprendido frases como "se me ha hecho tarde". Después de mirar este video, los significados tienen mucho sentido. Se usa el pretérito perfecto mucho (en vez del pretérito indefinido) en España. Me encanta este canal. Muchas gracias. :)
Hola y bienvenido al canal 😊 Sí, de verdad te va a hacer sonar más nativo esa frase, no nada más lo decimos por likes, jajaja.
También en México se usa mucho “se me ha hecho tarde”, pero es más usual decir “se me hizo tarde” como bien dijiste. Un abrazo desde México.
Brilliant… this is exactly the kind of lesson I need personally at the moment! Lessons beyond the formal basic. I always love the energy, humour, and joy. I think the little tests are great too! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much, Lauren! You're a star and really help to keep us motivated! Un abrazo fuerte 😀
Excellent
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it :)
Se me olvidó comprar las verduras. El video es muy bueno.
Hola hola :) Ya nos dimos cuenta de que eres muy fan de las verduritas. De hecho, nosotros también, jaja
@@spanishunraveled Why isn't it se me olivdaron... = las verduras?
@@yvettehardison4941 We didn't mention this in the video, but when used with another verb (like "comprar" or "hacer"), you always need to say "se me olvidó," no matter how many things you forgot. Hope that helps :)
Thanks!
Thanks so, so much Inez! We really appreciate your support 😊
Esto fue bueno 👏🏾
Que bueno que te gustó 😀
You two are psychic too! I struggle with se. Thanks again for such a valuable lesson. BTW, where have you two been?
Antonio!! It's all been pretty manic our end as our second child arrived in December! I think maybe the algorithm also wasn't showing you our videos ;) Anyway, it's great to have you back 😀
@@spanishunraveled I’m glad the connection is back and am thrilled to hear about your new addition to the family! You two make great videos and in your spare time make great babies! TQM!
Absolutely amazing video subbed and would again if I could haha. You guys need too make more videos there just so good.
Hey Jamie! Wow, that's high praise, thank you so, so much :) Welcome to the channel!
.. Muchas gracias. que leccion inusual. apenas nadie ensena esto. y es importante. Generalmente "se" puede ser "tricky". Gracias otra vez. Gracias por su papel en my viaje espanols.
Hola hola :) Sí tiene MUCHÍSIMOS usos y algunos de ellos son realmente "tricky", jaja. Un fuerte abrazo y bienvenido/a al canal 😀
Thanks for the video!
1. I have also heard this with ocurrir, to say that some thought randomly (accidentally?) occurred to someone.
2. I still don't fully understand the soccer lament "se....la....perdioooooo" when somebody misses an easy shot. I think it is a different construction, because the "la" in that case is a direct rather than indirect object (i..e, the opportunity or the shot is the thing that was lost). Right? Anyway, I never understood why it is always "la" and not "lo".
Hey Mark :) Yep, se me ocurrió is super common too ... I actually use it quite a lot myself!
Yeah, I've heard that one as well! It's actually the same structure but with a colloquial touch, so it doesn't follow traditional textbook rules.
The "la" refers to the missed opportunity (la oportunidad), so I think the phrase basically captures the disappointment or disbelief that the shot wasn't put in the back of the net without directly blaming the player (which is the point of the accidental se); "la perdió" would be a bit harsher sounding to my ears as you're unabashedly pointing the finger at the player - - I hope that wasn't too convoluted an explanation, haha
Hi guys giood day! May I onow how to say “ I almost forgot to give you this?” Thank u
Hey :) Se dice "Casi se me olvida darte esto."
@@spanishunraveled Thank you so much! I always watch your videos and they are very effective for me.
@@diosapalomo7940 Our pleasure + so glad you find them useful :)
They (accidentally) lost their passports. Se me olvidó mi reloj.
Exactly! So glad you're enjoying the videos :)
How is “se me antoja un taco” an accidental “se”? I don’t accidentally want a taco. Is it because the craving “happened” to me without me actively initiating it?
Hey :) Yes, it's not technically an "accidental se", but the structure is very similar, so we couldn't help throwing it in 🙊 The "se" in "se me antoja un taco" (which is a super common phrase, BTW) is actually used to emphasize that the desire is involuntary and/or spontaneous rather than accidental per se. The structure is the same though :)
