Attn: Spanish Speakers (which Sentence Is Correct?) - fsastraps insists that he is correct, but i know i'm right

marionfanss
I thought I had to reply here since I'm from Argentina (South America). I think it depends on the context. Sometimes we use the adjetive before the verb to make it sound more "poetic" (did I spell that right?). Let's see... You can say "Her long hair" in both ways: "Su largo cabello" and "Su cabello largo" and be right both of the times. But "Su largo cabello" sounds more like something you would write or say formally than the way you talk with your friends. The second one sounds more... bold. Or let's see: "The beautiful sunset" could be both "El bello atardecer" and "El atardecer bello" but the second one sounds rough. I don't really know which one is gramatically correct or if they're both correct, but here we use both. Maybe in real Spanish (cuz in Latin American countries, the spanish is a bit different than the spanish from Spain) it is another way.

Hope I helped hehe. Oh and about the "¿Dónde está el nuevo foro?" and "¿Dónde está el foro nuevo?", I would use the second one. I don't know, the first one doesn't sound right. But after what I said before, both of them would be right in my opinion.

And about what you said about "Mi casa" or something like that, the rule goes different for possesive adjetives, especially "mi". But you can still say "Nuestra casa" and "La casa nuestra". I think it depends on if you use an... I don't know how to call it in English, but in spanish it is called artículo. Those are La, El, Los, Las...

We use the cognate, "article", in English, marionfanss.

yes, i totally agree with marionfanss im from méxico and spanish is my mother language, so "¿Dónde está el forum nuevo?" and "¿Dónde está el nuevo forum?" are just the same thing, it's correct in both ways because they don't deform the significance (lol does that word exists? i think so..) of the sentence. So, in both ways i understand that you are asking where is the new forum.

just to let you guys know "forum" translated to english is "foro" with the accent in the "o" i just dont know to do that tongue.gif

Actually when you use "grande" before a singular masculine word it gets shortened to "gran" but that doesn't really matter right now.

When you conjugated estar to "estás" (giving you the benefit of the accent, there) it means "you are." "Está" would be "it is." You wouldn't say "Where are you the new forum?"

call me stupif but doesn't Esta mean he/she is.. or maybe it is just another way of saying he/she is....lol

    Conformist or Rebel Conformity is what keeps everything organized. It’s what stops chaos

    light on in her short story “Two Kinds.” By examining the images listed in “Two
    Kinds,” we will discover when to choose the path of conformity and when it’s better to choose
    the path of rebellion. In the short story, there are images of disaster. For example....

    as the speakers volume control is on the HiFi itself, I have no way of turning them up externally.

    (btw. they ROCK!!!). All drivers for audigy are up to date. I have concerns regarding
    the Audigy CMSS function, that should make the mp3´s sound from ALL of the 7 speakers. The problem
    is that all the speakers sound OK except the rears, that have only about 10% of the volume the other
    speakers have (the games work absolutely properly in surround mode, in EAX for ex). And the problem
    is not in the surround mixer, all the speakers are set to 100%, the rears too......

    your best choice as the sub-woofer is built to produce stronger bass. But if you just want it for
    quality easy listening, Creative speakers are your best choice. I'm not sure about creative
    speakers but I can introduce a few good ones to you. Creative's I-Trigue 3200 is consider a low
    end one which cost only $80 I-Trigue L3450 is consider and mid range speaker wh....
