What is the preferred word to use to know if the partner is grasping what you are explaining? Another common expression, but maybe restricted to Argentina, since nobody mentioned it, is “¿me seguís?” (literally, “are you following me?”. |

“Te elegimos a ti en concreto”. Isn't it pleonasm? When is it allowed? Yes. You can never omit the unstressed pronoun, but it isn't wrong to add the stressed one for emphasis. |

lo ayudo vs. le ayudo (direct vs. indirect object) There are a lot of "leísmo" causes that could in theory be applied here. I think you are talking about "leísmo de cortesía" (DPD, "Leísmo", 4g). But in the specific case of "ayudar", it seems that the cause is what I cited: the historical indirect object is changing to a direct object, and some areas retain the original pattern while others have already changed. See also the entry "ayudar" in the DPD. |
