Is it bad to address a young male as “señor”? @OmarSalinas: whereas "mesero" will be fine in most Latin American countries, it might not be the usual term in Spain, where "camarero" would sound more natural. |

What is the origin of the word “tascalate”? Taking into account that this is a Mexican drink, I would venture to say that it's a compound name in which the last part late comes from the Náhuatl word * ā-tl* (agua), as is the case with xocoatl (chocolate). Of course, this is only a hypothesis. |

How do I know whether to attach a direct object pronoun to the infinitive? @KevinK. Yes; the use of pronombres clíticos as in "díjome" is almost reserved to literature: in the Bible, for example, there are numerous instances of this kind ("díjome", "díjole", etc.). I agree with the second part of your comment. |

Is there any subtle difference between the two forms of the imperfect subjuntive? I'd say that the only difference is that the form ending in -se can be considered slightly more formal than the one ending in -ra; but otherwise (i.e., regarding the meaning) they are equivalent. |

Why is the “X” in México and Texas pronunced as the letter “J”? If you want to, you could link to Letra x in the Diccionario panhispánico de dudas. |
