ATALOA SAID

Buenos dias a todos. Hoy es jueves 14 de marzo.
Esta es la verdad.

ZOE SAID

hola y buenos dias

hace mucho frio hoy y esto me hace triste.
it is very cold today and this makes me sad.

Can someone tell me why el changes to hace when I add mucho to the sentence.
example - el frio hoy, but when I add mucho it is hace mucho frio hoy
el is it is and hace is ago???

AGUEST SAID



I think you mean "es" (versus "el"), as in "[es] frio hoy"... or "[it is] cold today." Whereas "hace" means "it will/going to be"... or "have", as in [hace] frio hoy"... or "[it will be/is going to be]... [will have] cold today."

Many languages, including Spanish, do not transliterate DIRECTLY into English. For example, in English we might say, "I am hungry." In Spanish, however, one says "I have hunger." Which is why we cannot always believe what, say, is literally written in the Bible: because the Greek and Hebrew (which is a translation back from Greek) don't always transliterate exactly, accurately, or correctly into English. So, you have to know what was originally MEANT... to know what the words SHOULD say and what message they should relate.

Of course, I could be wrong about all of this, so please, anyone who knows differently, share with us? Thanks!

Otherwise, I hope this helps, dear Zoe!

Again, peace to you!

SA, on her own...

ZOE SAID

Dah, I meant es lol, but I see what you mean, it doesn't work like english in the structure of the sentence.
Thanks Shelby

JOCHY SAID

Hola, in Spanish you can say "hoy hace frío"(it's cold today) or "hoy está frío"(today is cold) both are accepted.

ZOE SAID

Hoy esta frio, me gusta

ATALOA SAID

Lo siento esta frio.
I am sorry it is cold.

Aqui es caliente.
It is warm here.



Buenos dias a todos. Hoy es sabado, 16 de marzo.

I am sad it is cold. That's the truth.

ATALOA SAID

GLTIREBITER SAID

Está lloviendo en nuestros corazones.
(It is raining in our hearts.)


Feliz domingo a todos.
Happy Sunday everyone.

ZOE SAID

Feliz domingo y buenos dias

I am not feeling very chatty today kind of depressed. My pain and mobility is bad today and the sun is shining but its freezing outside so I can't get out and get some fresh air. Also I am alone and have been all week. I think I will go bury my head in my book and live vicariously in fiction.

Lo siento no palabra hoy españolas
sorry no spanish word today

lo siento que se siente mal.

Escapar dentro del libro

I am so sorry you are feeling bad.
Escape within the book.

AGUEST SAID

I am actually growing fond of the "natural" course this thread is taking, due primarily to contributions from you dear ones (peace to you all!). Mayhaps I'll take a break from "teaching" for a spell... so as to concentrate on a few other topics (some of which are a bit more demanding, if you get my drift) for a bit.

Please, carry on (of course, you will - LOLOLOL!)... and I will check back another week or so.

Paz a todos!

SA, who needs a short recess... ringing the bell for "break"...
