I've struggled to determine my undertone, but upon deeper study, I'm pretty sure I'm in the olive category with a neutral undertone. That being said, would I be an Autumn? I know AI typing is inaccurate. Nonetheless, many of them typed me as Deep Autumn, though I've gotten other types as well.
I'm almost positive I'm warm, so either spring or autumn. Here are the digital drapes for spring. I'd like feedback on which specific type seems best. 📸 in the comments section.
A major difference between English -- my first language -- and Spanish is the placement of object pronouns. As such, I've been struggling to get used to placing the direct object pronoun and/or indirect object pronoun before the conjugated verb. A list of useful transitive verbs seems like a good way to practice.
(I know object pronouns can also be attached to a gerund or infinitive in two-verb phrases. I'm specifically wanting to practice the placement of pronouns before the conjugated verb).
What transitive verbs would you suggest for practicing the use of object pronouns? For instance, dar seems like it would often take the object pronoun form, as well as the indirect object pronoun. (E.g. "Carlos me lo dio" -- Carlos gave it to me.)
Also, if you know of any online practice quizzes for object noun placement, please let me know. Thanks so much.
The word 'misa' as I understand it means 'mass' as in a Catholic Church service. Now, I'm reading a novel in Spanish that uses the word, but I'm pretty sure the family is Protestant. Does it also mean 'church service' in general?
I'm realizing that some verbs seem to have quite a few meanings. I'm including verbs that are in many verbal phrases, as a reflexive verb or pronominal verb.
dejar - to leave behind, to forget something, to let, to allow, to stop, to quit
quedar - to be located, to stay, to remain, to fit, to seem
echar - to throw, to cast, to launch, to lean on
pasar - to pass, pass by, to happen, to spend time, to meet (standards), to pass an exam, to experience
tomar - to take, to have something to eat or drink, to drink, to take in / get
In addition to the verbs I list here, what other verbs would you add:
I understand barato means cheap, as in inexpensive, referring to price. What is the word, or phrase, for 'cheap quality' to describe something that's not well made?
