Misombra, how many cases in Spanish?
cases?/////////////////
Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive?
oh. i don't know.
Why then is it Te quiero, and not tu quiero?
it just is. i don't really analyze it that way i guess.
Doppel, Spanish doesn't have named cases like German. There are nominative, objective and possessive pronouns, so I guess it would be nominative, dative/accusative, and genitive, but they don't have the significance (or specific names) they have in other languages.
for example - first person singular - has pronouns:
yo (I) - nominative / me (me) - objective / mi (my) - possessive
Second person singular has
tu (you) - nominative / te (you) - objective / tu (your) - possessive
Personal pronouns are also the only thing that has any form of a case - adjectives and nouns are uninflected for case.
I think that's it, right Sombra?
yes lol. thank you!
estoy listo maestro misombra!
okay. i'm glad you keep bringing up new things.
in spanish you have masculine and feminine nouns.
since your female the correct way to say that is estoy lista. if a male were to say it, he would say estoy listo.
i suppose the next lesson would be other verb conjugation.
there are several kinds of verbs... verbs that end in -ar, ir, er, and irregular verbs.
i'll start with -ar verbs. let's use cantar as an example
cantar= to sing.
yo canto=i sing
tu cantas= you sing
el/ella canta= he/she sings
nosotros cantamos= we sing
ellos/ellas cantan= they sing
if you're trying to say you guys or you all, you would use ustedes and use the an at the end.
ustedes cantan= you guys sing.
yo= -ar--->o
tu= -ar--->as
el= -ar------>a
nosotros= -ar------>amos
ellos= -ar-------->an
so now for a quiz... conjugate this verb: bailar (to dance)
yo _________
tu __________
el__________
nosotros__________
ellos _____________
