| Jan 1, 2020 at 1:39 | comment | added | Lambie | Your first two examples with mascotas was precisely my point that everyone tried to criticize. Of course, "Dogs like bones". OR "Cats like fish". are general statements and general statements in Spanish take an article. So, there was no point in hounding me on the other question. You would never write or say: A perros les gustan los huesos, would you? It has to be A los perros les gustan los huesos. Claro, perro ladrador, nunca mordedor is an aphorism and not a general statement about dogs. How can this have caused such a ruckus? | |

| Nov 20, 2019 at 11:28 | comment | added | Tom Fenech | In English, the last example in its written form would be more like "Olives: I never put them on pizzas". By the way, in case you didn't see it, Jose's answer spanish.stackexchange.com/a/32096/3053 was actually supposed to be a comment on this answer. | |

| Nov 19, 2019 at 23:27 | comment | added | Jose Rodriguez | I think above should be "Aceitunas nunca las pongo a las pizzas." | |
