comment Gramática: reflexivo
I question whether Ayer me corté el pelo is really "factitivo". Wouldn't I say the same if I cut my hair? Or would this have to use the reflexive se?

comment ¿Donde se crió? o ¿Donde crió?
To me, this is similar to what I do to my kids all the time when they ask, 'Do you know what time it is?' or 'Can I go?'. Sometimes the jokes are just for me.

comment Repartiera meaning (or what is subjunctive preterite imperfect?)
I don't have the book in front of me but a representative sentence would be, "Sería mejor que repartiera periódicos en vez de buscarte trabajo."

comment Why “buenas noches” when it's only one night?
I'm curious how the "original" Spanish you hear in Spain reflects courtesy. I understand that Usted is more commonly used but are there other indicators that someone speaking Spanish from another country might not be familiar with?

Can you provide an example of a difference that would indicate this 'courtesy' variation in the language?
