Hola Angeles! Muchas gracias por tu newsletter...es muy interesante! Como igual tengo algunas preguntas! lo siento!!!!
Gracias por tu respuestas!
1. me parece = I find it + (adjective) Tambien con otra palabras por ejemplo: me parece + dificile/ aburrida/ molesta ?
2.para siempre = for ever (other translation of siempre = always) - does this mean there is no expression in Spanish 'for ever' - you just simply use the same word for both "always" and "for ever" (siempre)
3. Suena + xxx = sounds + xxxx
Can I use with other expressions?
Suena + interesante / aburrida / (as '1' above - with those adjectives)
4. Ciudado - meaning careful (but in Ingles we need /be/ verb before eg be + careful - pero en espanol no es necesario!?!
5. en realidad =- actually?? (not to be confused with the false friend 'in reality' or 'actualmente'
es verdad?
6. ..es "la obra" del pintor = the "work" of the painter - we can't replace "obra" con 'trabaja' e.g es el trabaja del pintor (synonym?)
I haven't seen 'obra' before! The translation from google is 'construction site' hahahah
7.de hecho = in fact
8.varios + noun (varios = various) , really, that simple?!?!?!
por ejemplo hay varios tiendas en mi ciudad??
9. muy habituales = igual como 'muy comun' ?
10. Que me recomienda? (solo hable en el medico situacion? o otra contextas?
por ejemplo en el resturante? or oficina de turistico?
11. fomacion = education? (or more accurately 'training'?) si?
Muchas gracias!!
