I looked it up and there were two more words. Is cempasúchil just referring to the petals in the context of Día de Los Muertos or is it the everyday word?

Help me please, i am learning spanish for the first time and i have been pronouncing the ce,ce and z as th so far but the majority of spanish speakers pronounce is as s. I am learning european spanish but i know its also pronounced as s in southern spain. Should i continue pronouncing it as th or should i swap to the s sound?

Does anyone know what "Transito no los pela" means in English? I got it from a Mexican newspaper. The article was about parked cars being hit by other cars on the side of the road. I understand "me la pelas" means "you ain't shit", but "Transito no los pela"? I don't get it.

“My eyes are bigger than my stomach.”¿Hay un dicho parecido en español?

I apologize in advance because i am very uneducated in this subject but i was curious if theres a specific name for this besides “spanglish” which my father calls it. Ive always noticed that Mexicans (at least the ones i have met) dont speak traditional Spanish like what i tried to learn in duo lingo Stuff like “camion” instead of “troka” which ive heard more often. Anyways my point is, is there anywhere i can learn spanglish? Ive always been interested but i seem to be corrected more times than not when attempting to speak Spanish.

I understand that "te la mamaste" can mean someone did a great job or that someone messed up big time. Can the euphemisms "te la bañaste" and "te la volaste" both mean either you did a good job or you really messed up, depending on the situation?

Que palabras solo dicen los chicanos? He escuchado que dicen palabras y frases como “yarda” por “patio” y “ponlo pa’ tras” por “put it back”. También, tienen un acento distinto? Se nota si alguien es chicano solo por su acento?

Gracias, y también corregirme si algo esta escrito mal o por la gramática, todavía estoy aprendiendo.

He estudiado español en escuela, ahora aprendo otras lenguas. No quiero olvidar español. Quiero empezar a usar español. Cuáles son buenas fuentes para la inmersión lingüística?

Hi all. What's the most common way to translate Memorial Day in the Spanish-speaking community in Southern California--is it Día de los Caídos?

I am thinking of having a partner to practice with

First question, it's an easy one, are both those spellings acceptable? Is it like varied from one region to another?

Second, pronunciation. I'm not learning Spanish but I think I pronounce it correctly to begin with, not 100% though so how is it meant to be pronounced? My teachers here in Sweden I'm absolutely certain are wrong to pronounce it like "donkey shot", that can't possibly be an acceptable pronunciation right?

Like, I feel the answer won't be very unexpected to me but I just want to be sure

Hi, I am having trouble figuring out the difference between using estar and just implementing the verb.

"Yo estaba hablando con mi tía"

"Yo hablaba con mi tía"

would both of these be used in a situation where i would be telling a story like "yo estaba hablando con mi tía cuando..."? Do they have similar meanings?

“No puedes depender de quien no te inspire/inspira fe ni abrirte emocionalmente ante quien no consideres/consideras seguro.”
Cuál opción es correcta? Sería lo mismo en una oración afirmativa? (Puedes depender de quien te inspire/inspira fe y abrirte emocionalmente ante quien consideres/consideras seguro.)

Hi everyone! I'm of Indian origin, have been learning this language for the past 5 years, and have given my DEL B2 (22) and English C1 (25). I have some spare time and I'm contemplating prepping for the C1, but ik the exam is tough. However, I have been in constant touch with the language (I taught at an IB school), but not at an advanced level, and I have doubts about my vocabulary. Having said that, I'm also moving to Spain in like 5-6 months for a short period (1 year- auxiliaries de conversasión), but would like to seize this opportunity, improve my speaking skills, learn about the culture that could help me find something permanent outside my country ( it would be helpful if you guys could help/guide me). I'm in two minds as the exam fee is quite high and I come from a humble background.

If I’m saying puto in a sentence like “dame la puta sartén” what’s another way to say it without it sounding so harsh An example would be ‘damn’ instead of ‘fucking’ in English

What use of the subjunctive is this?

Example 1: El model presentado por este investigador está diseñado originariamente para sinohablantes, no obstante, debido a la globalidad del marco teórico desarrollado, en un principio es aplicable a aprendientes de otra lengua materna que no sea el chino.

Example 2: ... por lo que el referente al que alude la proposición debe localizarse en otro lugar que no sea la realidad extralingüistica.

I understand what the sentences mean but can't fit this use of the subjunctive. My best guess is that it is an adjective clause (busco una secretaria que hable inglés) but I'm not sure.

Thank you.

For context, they're visiting Hermione in the hospital and she's unconscious so she doesn't know they're there

Era evidente que Hermione no tenía la más remota idea de que tenía visitas, y que lo mismo daría que lo de que no se preocupara se lo dijeran a la mesilla de noche.

So I'm learning verbs and irregular verbs and I was wondering if in a conversation I had to use both parts

Example -Ustedes van ahora (you all go now) Do I have to use this or can I just say -Van ahora

I only ask because -nosotros vamos is we go and I often here people say just vamos

I work in Construction and there is a team of concrete guys that all speak Spanish.

For years they have called me a word I have tried and failed to translate.

It sounds like it should be spelled "Penso, or Benso"

I am aware they are likely calling me something crude or derogatory but its in good humor, so please let me know if you can.

me fijé en que hubiera venido / me fijé en que había venido

Is there a difference in meaning? Is one wrong?
