What would be a good way of expressing “Es un placer haber sido de utilidad.”? In American English at least, "No, the pleasure is all mine" sounds very formal to me. I think "I'm glad I could help" would be the best informal alternative. |

Use of “Veni”? Is it a real word? Ah, good point. Although I checked Google and "ven y ver" has 19.8 million results, "ven y ve" has 217 thousand, and "ven y verás" has 1.7 million. |

Use of “Veni”? Is it a real word? Vení (with an accent on the i) is the imperative vos form of venir in places where voseo occurs, but as I understand it voseo is almost nonexistent in Mexico. |

Translation of “first time doing something” I guess by "literal translation" I meant, "Esta es mi primera vez comiendo sushi." |

Are there other words that can't be written? (like sal-le) Very interesting. Although if the Spanish-speaking world stopped with this tú business and started using vos, this case wouldn't be a problem at all :) |

Gusto variant of the verb gustar I think your misunderstanding here is that gustó is not first-person present ("I please"), it's third-person preterite ("it pleased"). La historia me gustó means "I liked the story." The accent mark makes all the difference! |

Difference between “está” and “esta” or “esté” and “este”? @AlfredoO: I believe the accent on the first e used to be required for demonstrative pronouns when the e was lowercase, but it sounds like RAE changed that so it's only necessary in case of ambiguity. Maybe that's worth another question though. |
