Spanish words for cap, cover, lid, etc Yes, but the dictionary doesn't always include all uses of a word. By the way, when I wrote screwed on, I meant "enroscado", but I'm not sure it's the best choice. These are called "tapones" in Spain, and are certainly not inserted on the bottle. |

Plurals of numbers Actually, it does say how to form it: "adoptan el plural que les corresponde según su forma". So, for words ended in "s", add "es". But it's true, no one uses it. |

video vs. grabación Well, actually links with accents work just fine |

Plurals of numbers Good answer. So, according to the last part, "two two hundreds" would be "dos doscientoses" (as in "garabateó dos doscientoses"). Funny. |

What are the accentuation rules in Spanish? @Alenanno A little correction about sobreesdrújulas: it can be the fourth or fifth syllable (llévesemelo) (or more, if there's any word). And they always have a tilde. |

What are the accentuation rules in Spanish? A little addition: the ending "-mente" is not counted when counting syllables, and you write the accent if and where the word, without "-mente", would have it. So, for example: fácilmente, pobremente. |

When is it written with and without accent: porqué/porque/por qué? I should add that there's a fourth alternative: "por que", which means "por el/la cual" or "por los/las cuales" (Esa fue la razón por que lo echaron a la calle). It can also be por + que as "conjunción subordinante" (El éxito en una carrera pasa por que estudies cada día = [...] pasa por estudiar [...]). In this link you can find an explanation of the four cases, with all the proper gramatical names, which I have long forgotten. |

Literal and metaphorical translation of “duende” Good answer. I'd like to reinforce that duende meaning feeling is hardly used, if ever, when not refering to flamenco. |

Speakers' location in determining venir vs. ir It's that simple. However, I've noticed that in Catalan-speaking areas, at least in Mallorca, they often say "ya vengo" instead of "ya voy". |
