Computer science, software engineer/developer, and programmer @Flimzy: IMO, all the discussion shows it's more complex than a simple dictionary translation. Granted, it's not really "expert-level," but I think it's something I'd have trouble understanding completely just using a dictionary. |

I forgot how to say “I forgot” Are you sure the se is passive, not reflexive? I found a couple references that say otherwise. |

Is there a Spanish equivalent for “OP”? @Flimzy: It's definitely common, I've seen it on several other forums. |

Bonita, linda, hermosa, bella, and guapa: what's the difference? Had no idea about the fish. ¡Qué bonitos son los bonitos! |

What is the most common way to end a phone call? @Joze: Yeah, I thought about that, but I intentionally try to make these as specific as possible ("What is the most common way..." as opposed to "What are all the possible ways..."). |

Translating “young man” and “young woman” @hippietrail: Yeah it seems like every question on a Q&A site is a request (so no need to duplicate that), and for a "word" or "single-word" tag, see the meta question. |

Backchannels (listener responses) in Spanish Wouldn't the last example be translated a lot more strongly than "Get out of here"? |

What is the correct order of object pronouns? @jasonmcclurg: That example has only one object pronoun. Ella is the subject pronoun, me is an indirect object pronoun, and dijo is the verb. |

Present subjunctive in vos form Jaime Soto's answer above seems to indicate this isn't true in all cases. |

Present subjunctive in vos form @JaimeSoto: Ah that's helpful. It's a general rule for the subjunctive vos form that I'm looking for. For example, how do you know it's mintás instead of mentás or mientás? It seems like these cases are not quite regular, but not quite fully irregular :) |

Present subjunctive in vos form Great find! My biggest confusion though is about irregular verbs, and those don't seem to be addressed in that list. |

Backchannels (listener responses) in Spanish @Joze: An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound it's describing (like "meow"). Backchanneling is a separate concept (check the Wikipedia page I linked above). |
