Dec 5	comment	What's the difference between “debe de” y “debe”? Thanks @dusan. I was going to correct it myself... :D
Dec 5	comment	Why does “no sé” mean “I don't know?” What do you mean with if "se" means "is"...?
Dec 3	comment	“to feel ashamed for an unknown person” or a cringe-worthy experience Or lingüística. :)
Dec 3	comment	What's the best way to say “perífrasis verbal” in English? I've seen that used, but not referring to "words", rather to "verbs"... Is that the correct adjective in English? Maybe it's ambiguous for that...
Dec 3	comment	What's the best way to say “perífrasis verbal” in English? I'd add "verbal" to your "periphrasis" there to be more specific. :) But I'm curious to see if other people have more to add.
Dec 3	comment	What's the best way to say “perífrasis verbal” in English? Just to add to the "mess" :D, there's also my answer for the question "Spanish phrasal verbs" which is about them.
Dec 1	comment	Spanish abbreviation for the United States of America @Joze But the fact is that in the Russian version, "republic" is singular. I checked and I think it's a singular. Weird eh? :D Even in Italian and English it becomes plural...
Dec 1	comment	Spanish abbreviation for the United States of America @belisarius why URRSS with 2 "R"?
Nov 30	comment	Spanish abbreviation for the United States of America +1 I didn't know about this rule, I mean: double initials for plural nouns... :D
Nov 30	comment	Is “¿Qué hora es?” or “¿Qué horas son?” preferred? @Laura No, ¡no me molesta! :) Tienes que corregirme cuando ves que he hecho faltas. :D Gracias. :)
Nov 30	comment	Counterpart of “John Doe, Joe Public”? Yo me acordaba de tío, y quizás he oído de "Fulano" antes, pero no estoy seguro de eso...
Nov 30	comment	Is “¿Qué hora es?” or “¿Qué horas son?” preferred? No sé quien acepta. Pero todavía no tengo la reputación que necesito para editar. Cuando lo hago, veo un mensaje "Wait until it is peer reviewed". No creo que Nexus acepte mi correcciones, sino que alguien lo hace mientras que no tenemos mods o pocos usuarios con una reputación alta. :D
Nov 30	comment	Is “¿Qué hora es?” or “¿Qué horas son?” preferred? @Nexus He corregido el enlace para hacerlo aparecer de manera mejor. Cuando van a aceptar mis correcciones, vas a ver como lo he editado. :)
Nov 30	comment	Debuccalization of /s/ to [h] @LauraMoyàAlcover To be honest, I don't think I knew that one either. There are many symbols around, and not all are used by all languages. :P If you are interested in Linguistics, even as an enthusiast or as an "asker", consider going to the Linguistics SE, you'll see the link in my profile.
Nov 30	comment	Debuccalization of /s/ to [h] It's a mid back rounded vowel. If you go the this IPA vowels chart with audio, you can see what position it is, although I'm not sure you can hear that vowel and not the simple [o].
Nov 30	comment	Debuccalization of /s/ to [h] @LauraMoyàAlcover which symbol are you referring to?
Nov 30	comment	“¿Qué te interesa?” or “¿Qué te interesan?” Ahahah :D Laura, you were the first, trust me. :)
Nov 30	comment	“¿Qué te interesa?” or “¿Qué te interesan?” +1 because you posted first. :D
Nov 30	comment	Latin /f/ to Spanish /h/ This is a good question for the Linguistics SE... :D
Nov 29	comment	What are the accentuation rules in Spanish? ¡Muchas gracias, @Joze!
