Is there a standard, most common, or most neutral Spanish term for “chat room”? @Filmzy: messenger, as Windows Live Messenger (f. MSN Messenger), it definitively had private groups, not sure about public ones. |

How to translate “make it count” BTW. "chance at opportunity"? Isn't that pleonasm? In Spanish both words translate to "oportunidad" |

Are there any subtle differences between “de nuevo” and “otra vez”? @GonzaloMedina: actually native Spanish speaker (from Spain) would say exactly that. Example: atrapalo.com/viajes/… |

Are there any subtle differences between “de nuevo” and “otra vez”? @GonzaloMedina: I do agree that they are very similar. But it you look at examples at spanish.about.com/cs/vocabulary/qt/againqt.htm, you'll see that these sentences will just not sound good if you exchange "de nuevo" for "otra vez". I do agree that other way around it works. |

Why are certain words ending in “a” masculine? @Brian: it is, and yes, voda is feminine. |

Usage of “adiós” in the Basque country I'd say in fact saying adiós is not that common in Spain. It's much more common to hear hasta luego, hasta mañana, chao (that's Spanish spelling of ciao, and unlike Italians, Spaniards only use it for goodbye). |

Why are certain words ending in “a” masculine? @Flimzy: kind of doubt it ;-) it's just with very few Greek-origin exceptions (much less than in Spanish) in Slavic languages ending with "a" makes it feminine. |

What is apercibido? btw. I do agree that REA should have better search and find all the forms of the word. |
