Spanish

[AG]

Hey! Ok...so here we go...

pronounce ALL vowels...

a -- ah
e -- eh
i -- ee
o -- o
u -- oo

All verbs end in either Ir Ar or Er...

Hablar -- To Speak
Aprender -- To learn
Salir -- to leave

some phrases...

Hola (Hello)
Como estas? (how are you?)
Estoy bien/mal (I am good/bad)
Donde esta el baño (Where is the bathroom? -- this is important! XD) (the ñ in baño is special...it is pronounced like ny)
Hablas ingles? (insert any language here) -- Do you speak english (insert language here)

Grammar as far as punctuation goes...if there is a period (.) there is just one at the end like English...if there is a question mark (?) there is one upside down in the front sentence...if there is an exclamation point (!) there is an upside down one in the front of the sentence...I just don't know how to do that on an english keyboard ^^;;

That's good for now...I will get more into it if people are interested...and others can help

[insanity]

Tu muy loco en los cabeza. *you're crazy, a general translation. The only real spanich I know...)

[AG]

well you wouldn't say los...cause that would make the noun plural...not to mention cabeza is a feminine word...so your sentence (to be grammatically correct) would be Tu es muy loco en la cabeza

You also need a form of being there...so throw in es and you have a grammatically correct sentence...

[insanity]

OK. I'm not particularly adept to that language.

[emogarg]

Ok.. (since I came upon this one) Lets see what I remember from high school spanish. *hmms* TO write a verb as a .. present participle? I.E. Ed is dancing with a cat (because its been a really long time I forgot a lot of words ^_^') it would be.. Ed esta bailando con el gato. You would use the correct form of estar with the subject, and then and ndo with the verb. If it ends in -er you use endo. If its ar (as in estar) its ando. See? I used to remember more, like past and future.. But my brain never stuck to it well and its been ten years since I went to that class.

[AG]

To be grammatically correct you are indeed correct that you SHOULD use estar...so yeah that is grammatically correct haha YAY

Though, like English speakers actual spanish speakers don't SPEAK grammatically correctly all the time...so they don't always use estar in that way...so spoken you MAY hear it that way or you MAY also hear

Ed bailando con el gato

[fullmetalbabe]

It's Actually "Tu estas muy loco en la cabeza"= You are very crazy in the head.

Ed está bailando con el gato- Ed is dancing with the cat


Está-is
Estoy-am
Estuvo-was

Also Esta in spanish with out the hyphen can mean a femenim object. Example

Esta cuchara=This spoon

So when putting the hyphen can do a lot of change

Está-Action

Esta- Object


I hope i have helped a little. And in return i want to learn more english. Please and Thank you.

[AG]

well it all depends on the form of "to be" you need...whether its Ser or Estar

[fullmetalbabe]

You wourld find the difrience right away example:

You have to be very patiant.-Tienes que ser muy paciente

It wouldnt sound right right if you say: Tienes que esta muy paciente.

Another example: He is playing- Él está Jugando.

It wouldnt sound right if you say Él ser Jugando.

Well Im trying to say that you use ser when you use the verb be like he can be, he will be.

You use está when the verb is he is, he was, we were.

[AG]

I know the ways to use ser and estar...I was just adding to what you were saying

Now that one is funny

Well like i am bored ill post some stuff


Possessions

When you are trying to say something is mine you say Mí...with the hyphen Remember, it has to be with the hyphen, otherwise you are just talking about you and not what you posses.

EXAMPLE: Vistes mí página?

Tu eres mío...

Mí perro se fué.

and so on

When some thing belongs to another person you say Tú, again withe the hypeh, with out the hyphen is sounds like chu are talking about the person and not what they posses...

EXAMPLE:Tú mascota

Tú bicicleta.

Me dijeron que ese era tú piano.

This is only for me and you possessions, for a group i will post later...

[fabiolamustang]

Actually, if you say: It would be:
That dog is mine-----> Aquel perro es mío. (polysyllable mi-o possesive adjective)

but if you say: It would be:
Gluttony ate my dog---> Gula se comió a mi perro. (possesive adjective)

You don't need to put the hyphen because its a monosyllabe word. Unless you are refering to a personal pronoun:

¿Me estás hablando a mí?--------> Are you speaking to me?

and when you are refering to someone is like this:

You killed my brother! -----> ¡Tú mataste a mi hermano! (personal pronoun as well)

but if you refer to something that person posses it would be:

Me robé tu libro-------> I stole your book.

él---> he (personal pronoun)

He is Roy Mustang------> Él es Roy Mustang

el----> the (it could be {el, la, los, las} as well)

The dog is sleeping. -----> El perro está durmiendo.
