If you need to clarify a speaker with a pronoun, do you need to clarify all verbs in the sentence with one? Cansado se está, y triste, normalmente, también. Sin embargo, feliz, es un poco especial y sí se puede usar así. Por tanto, la frase sería: Mientras ella era (o estaba) feliz, tú estabas cansado y yo estaba triste. |

Translating “how is …?” and “how was …?” @Kevin: That fue is from the verb ir. Changing the tense, you could say ¿cómo ha ido la reunión? In some contexts, you could also ask ¿cómo ha sido la reunión?, but that would be what has the meeting been like? (asking for details about what happened, who spoke in which order, what was said, etc. rather than a general overview of it) |

Words for boat, ship, and other seafaring vessels I didn't know the word dinghy, but it seems it's a bote, not necessarily neumático. |

Waterfall: cascada vs. catarata +1. Exactly what RAE says. Catarata = cascada o salto grande de agua. So cascada is any waterfall, whereas catarata are big ones (Niagara, Iguazú, Victoria...) |

What's the meaning of “Y yo voy y me lo creo”? I agree this is the way it's used in Spain. In fact I'll tell you a reference: In the film Shrek, in the beginning, when he rips the page, he says "Y voy yo, y me lo trago" ("tragar" means "creer"). |
