How do I know whether to attach a direct object pronoun to the infinitive? I don't dare to give you a proper answer, but mostly they can be used both. When they sound strange one way, is quite likely in a case per case reason. |

Why is the “X” in México and Texas pronunced as the letter “J”? Xavier is pronounced Shavier, not Javier. |

Proper spelling of “beisbol” Quick comment. Never seen handball used in Spain, quite likely because, unlike fútbol or béisbol that are pronounced the same way, we use balonmano for handball. |

When should I use the word 'yo' in a sentence where the verb conjugation already shows that I am the subject? With comer, dativo ético is often used, quite rare to use comer without it (at least in Spain). For example, instead of "Él comió una naranja" "Se comió una naranja". Don't ask why, it is just that way. |

Common Spanglish Words If sometime you decide to learn it, remember that sicuramente (Italian) means 100% sure while seguramente (Spanish) means that something is quite likely but not 100% sure. If you are 100% sure, you use something like por supuesto. |

How should I translate “he is a pain in the ass”? Not that much, quite uncommon for people and barely used. But would be understood without difficulty. |

Is there a translation for “He thumbed his nose at them”? Can you add a complete context for the idiom? I guess I understand its meaning but I need a context for translation. |

How prevalent is the phrase “qué padre”? I don't think that would happen in Spain. I guess I could guess its meaning, but not proper understanding of it. |

How to translate “I can't wait…” Which country are you or your Spanish from? I wouldn't use neither of them but the first, but moving ya from the beginning to the end. |

How to translate “I can't wait…” Madrid, Spain. Sounds good "No puedo esperar a/para ver la película." "Estoy ansioso por" sounds great too. |
