Re: You will need to learn the subjunctive. Very much so. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 23/09/2013 03:21:07 PM

Thank you for this. More information than I can process in one go, but I think might ask you a question about Spanish again maybe in a month. Just one follow up for now:


View original postDudo que él tenga el libro. I doubt that he has the book. (Expresses doubt)


View original postNo dudo que él tiene el libro. I don't doubt that he has the book. (No doubt, no subjunctive)

Are you sure it isn't backwards? I seem to remember various questions like "Do you have a boyfriend?" start with "Tienes". Isn't that an expression of uncertainty?

You'll probably be fluent in about 6 months at most. It's easy. Tom - 18/09/2013 06:58:49 PM 820 Views

You will need to learn the subjunctive. Very much so. Tom - 20/09/2013 03:43:53 PM 834 Views

Ah, but a question isn't a statement of uncertainty. It's a request for information. Tom - 23/09/2013 03:59:00 PM 727 Views
Is Duolingo one of the apps you have downloaded? The Shrike - 19/09/2013 05:23:35 PM 758 Views
It is quite good in some ways. Legolas - 19/09/2013 06:54:44 PM 830 Views
Italian is one of those languages I've never wanted to learn. The Shrike - 20/09/2013 12:33:49 PM 867 Views
There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read? Tom - 20/09/2013 03:53:17 PM 779 Views
Nope. Not too interested in the literature of the area. Not enough to learn the language The Shrike - 20/09/2013 04:17:46 PM 768 Views
A quick question. Stephen - 20/09/2013 05:48:18 PM 770 Views
I think that is a very subjective question. Tom - 20/09/2013 06:36:50 PM 741 Views
You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone Larry - 21/09/2013 09:11:15 AM 796 Views
I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one. Tom - 22/09/2013 04:26:11 AM 742 Views
I want to say it's in the late 3000s, early 4000s, but I'm uncertain Larry - 22/09/2013 07:53:07 AM 711 Views
Yeah, I'm not finding it exactly Tom - 26/09/2013 02:22:38 PM 805 Views
Interesting points. Stephen - 22/09/2013 12:20:39 AM 755 Views
It's not too high on my priority list either, like I said. Legolas - 20/09/2013 06:17:24 PM 725 Views
It is... Aeryn - 20/09/2013 03:12:11 PM 829 Views

Bolivia is pretty amazing and has a good exchange rate, though you'll need a visa. *NM* Zalis - 25/09/2013 04:37:18 PM 644 Views
