May 26	comment	Ways used to refer to another person? <removed obsolete comments after conversation with OP via chat>
May 25	comment	Ways used to refer to another person? This question is asking for a list of answers, which is not a good fit for a Q&A site. Is there a more specific question we can answer for you? Maybe you're looking for such a word that fits a specific context?
May 24	comment	¿Por qué mis amigas dicen “listo” en vez de “lista” cuando están listas para ir? Y es igual si ella dice solo "lista" (sin la palabra "estoy")?
May 24	comment	¿Por qué mis amigas dicen “listo” en vez de “lista” cuando están listas para ir? Ellas son de México. Y la mayoría de o cerca de Guadalajara.
May 24	comment	Why does saber mean both “to know” and “to taste”? The part of the question about other languages would probably get a much better/thorough answer on Linguistics.
May 22	comment	What's the difference between “vamos” and “vámonos”? @EliBendersky: I would have left an answer, but I don't really understand the imperative form very well, so I chose to leave it to someone else :) I think Javi did a good job below.
May 22	comment	What's the difference between “vamos” and “vámonos”? Simple answer: vámonos is reflexive. It's the same difference between voy and me voy. Although the complete answer is more complex than that, and involves understanding why we don't use vayámonos as the imperative form.
May 21	comment	Spanish for “douche”? @belisarius: But said in the right context, it would be a very colorful insult, indeed.
May 21	comment	Spanish abbreviation for the United States of America @Petruza: In Mexico, it's quite common. But that doesn't make it correct; thus the question. :)
May 18	comment	Spanish abbreviation for the United States of America @Petruza: I am the original poster :) Even so, it's not unheard of for a language to use acronyms of foreign words. So I think it's fair to ask.
May 18	comment	Is “$5 pesos” proper form in Spanish? This sounds like the closest to an authoritative answer I've seen so far. Do you have a reference to the (old?) rule that digits need a currency symbol?
May 18	comment	Spanish for “douche”? @belisarius: I would laugh, too... if someone said that to me in English or Spanish :)
May 17	comment	¿Cuál es la etimología de “sin embargo”? "Without embargo" would have nearly the same meaning in English, "without holding back" or as said below, "without impediment." "However" means the same thing, "how ever" or "without anything getting in the way."
May 17	comment	Distinguishing “quiz” and “test” Thanks for the, eh... interesting mnemonic device...

May 11	comment	Is there a difference between cilantro and culantro in Spanish? Thank you for the answer, however just linking to an external site is not considered a valuable answer. Can you summarize the article in your own words?
May 11	comment	When is the indirect object pronoun required in sentences with an indirect object? Possible duplicate of spanish.stackexchange.com/q/2104/12
May 11	comment	Is there a difference between cilantro and culantro in Spanish? It's also called "coriander" in American English, but usually refers to the dried seeds, rather than the fresh leaves, and is usually ground and used as a spice.
May 10	comment	“Major” and “minor” (emphasis of study in college) The U.S. has technical colleges, too, which I believe correspond pretty closely to the Latin American Institutos Técnicos, and they generally don't offer degrees, per se, but often certifications, or other un-accredited diplomas.
May 10	comment	What is the preferred way of saying “I have to go”? Welcome to Spanish.SE, and thanks for the good question. We're glad you're here. :)
