Hi everybody,
¿Qué tipo de hombres te gusta? or ¿Qué tipo de hombres te gustan?
Which one is correct?
Thanks a lot,

Answer:

Grammatical "¿Qué tipo de hombres te gusta?" is the correct form…
But "¿Qué tipo de hombres te gustan?" doesn´t sound wrong in ES...

Si usted habla con fluidez los siguientes idiomas, puertas a varias oportunidades en este tipo de empleo se darán:

- en anglosajón

P.S. ' inglés ' is a pauperized wording of the 'Anglo-Saxon' roots and it is a transliteration from English.
               Same goes for 'español' which is a mainly 'Castilian-based" language.
        Regarding the words 'serbio' and 'búlgaro' are geographical references but not linguistically ones.

Qué tal debe de irles a Daisy y a Pip?

How are Daisy and Pip doing?     But I'm not sure of the role played by 'deber' , meaning 'must' in English. It may be just a Spanish  idiom, not directly translatable.

Taken from the ABC newspaper of 2 may 2017:
"El Guerra civilísimo de la Familia Le Pen y la violencia callejera convirtieron el último gran mitin de Macron en un oasis de paz...."

Can anyone tell me why "Guerra" is masculine here?  I understand it is normally feminine.

Answer:

by solysombra (CR), Last modified: 2017-05-07, 17:40   Spam?  

Hello M.

"El Guerra civilísimo" is not correctly written. It is written "guerracivilismo" which is indeed a male word and refers to the civil war-like mood created by LePen. See also: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/guerracivilismo

I hope the question is hereby answered.

I am thinking about writing a short story about a Mexican bounty hunter with the command "Show no mercy" written on her gun in Spanish. I thought it might be "Muestre ninguna piedad" but after doing more research I was wondering if "No muestre piedad" would be better. Are both correct? Are both incorrect?

I was also wondering if there was a reason "piedad" would be used instead of "clemencia" or "misericordia."

Thank you!

Answer:

by suigetsu1810, 2017-01-31, 21:10   Spam?  84.122.234....

If what you want is to put it on the gun , the best option in my opinion would be to put "Sin piedad" , it sounds way more direct  than "Muestre ninguna piedad"(also, muestre ninguna piedad is not gramatically correct).
"No muestre piedad" is also correct, but it doesn´t really fit well.
Clemencia could be used if you put "Sin mostrar clemencia".
Misericordia isn´t used there because it´s not a complete synonim and in that situation it isn´t used. It also often has to do with expressions about god.

I hope it helps you and sorry for my english if i´ve done any mistake
