Plural form of compound words The preferred form for the plural of "gentilhombre" is "gentilhombres", as expected buscon.rae.es/dpdI/…. I'd go always pluralizing the noun, as it works in all the examples I can think of. If there are two nouns (as in "zarzamora"), pluralize the last one. |

“Aún” vs. “todavía”, what's the difference? @Gonazalo I guess you are right, but I share my concerns with (at least) this pour soul :trampalabras.blogspot.com/2010/12/… |

“Fall in love with” (non-romantic) You're right. Mine was just a warning for the OP. |

Usage of “donde la espalda cambia de nombre” Your assumption is correct. The expression is rather humorous, and should be avoided in very formal situations, although there is nothing aggressive in it. |

Translation of “contact info” @Gonzalo Yep. It is very usual in forms and written materials (brochures, etc.) |

Indirect object and “le” @dusan You can omit it in the original sentence, as shown in the examples at the bottom of my answer. If you omit it in the passive voice, there is a slight sense change . Edited for clarity. |

“Fall in love with” (non-romantic) But tierno != bonito and encariñar != enamorar |
