Shane you are probably happy that you don't have to deal with the "ais" tenses, as they do in Spain. That is for familiar plural

Actually, since the Bible is written with the "ais" tenses, those of us that read the Bible do use that tense when in group Bible study and quoting the Bible.

I find it quite comforting that Jesus used that form when He spoke to groups of people He used the second-person, plural, familiar tense, like a person does with friends rather than the third-person, plural, familiar tense like a teacher does with her students or a boss with his employees. However I don't know how that translates from the original Greek.

Word: el kilogramo
Pronunciation: kee-loh-GRAH-mo
Meaning: kilogram (a unit of weight equal to 2.2 pounds)
Example: El cerebro de una ballena pesa en promedio 7.8 kilogramos.
Translation: The brain of a whale weighs, on the average, 7.8 kilograms (17 pounds).

Word: nosotros, nosotras
Pronunciation: noh-SOH-trohss, noh-SOH-trahss
Meaning: we, us
Example: La protección de tu privacidad es muy importante para nosotros.
Translation: The protection of your privacy is very important to us.
Warning: Nosotros is the masculine form and is used when referring to males. Nosotras is the feminine form and is used when referring to females. For mixed groups or groups of unknown sex, nosotros is used.

Nosotros isn't the only word that can be used for "us." Depending on the sentence structure, nos is sometimes used.

Word: grande
Pronunciation: GRAHN-deh (Note that the Spanish r here is pronounced with a tap of the tongue against the front of the palate.)
Meaning: big, large
Example: El edificio más grande del mundo va a tener 800 metros de altura.
Translation: The largest building in the world is going to be 800 meters high.

¿Y donde esta este edificio?

Sorry- I'm trying hard to practice. It would be cool if people could join in and Shane could coach us as he goes

Shane, is there a special intonation for questions? In French one can easily turn a sentence into a question by raising the last syllable.

Also- about the order of the words. It is not as important to get the words in the right order in Spanish as it is in English, is it?

Yes. A sentence becomes a question by changing the tone of the voice. That is why it is so important to use question marks when writing.



I was not taught that. I typically speak Spanish among Tex-Mex speakers whose Spanish is quite poor and influenced by English. So I am not really sure about the answer to that question.
