Dec 7	comment	Usage of “millar” vs “millón” I changed the question to adjust the formatting. If you want to further change it, you can obviously. But I suggest not to use too much formatting with big titles, bold, emphasis everywhere...

Dec 6	comment	Why is 'estar muerto' used instead of 'ser muerto'? Javi and Gonzalo: You both make a good point... I'll delete that part, but I'll save the comments. They might be helpful in the future. :)
Dec 6	comment	Why is 'estar muerto' used instead of 'ser muerto'? @Javi This one comes from my grammar textbook: "Esta película es un muerto."
Dec 6	comment	Why is 'estar muerto' used instead of 'ser muerto'? @GonzaloMedina I added that just for completeness, otherwise someone would complain that I didn't add it... :) But do you confirm the other meaning I talked about?
Dec 6	answered	Why is 'estar muerto' used instead of 'ser muerto'?
Dec 6	comment	What's the “ísimo” in the following words? Also Italian has "-issimo": bello - bellissimo, (beautiful). We also have the "old" "-errimo", but it's not as spread; it seems only 12 adjectives take it. By the way, I think that "the biggest" can be both relative and absolute. If I find my point to be true, I'll elaborate an answer maybe, since I'm not sure yet, honestly.
