Muchas gracias, Alvaro. I'm grateful for your critique and help with my faltering Spanish. And as an English speaker, that gender element of Latin languages is always a problem. Jeff, my husband, told me today about something he saw about the word "binary" regarding one's gender identity is binaria/binario. "God so loved irony, He created Man."
Now I'm struggling with a new phrase )for me) "encantada conociertlo" conocierte would be for a child? and would the "lo" change to a "la" for gender? I'm sorry, Allvaro, you probably don't have time to tutor me like this, but you're my best source of information. (No wonder my teacher taught us "mucho gusto")
"Nice to meet you" is said: "Encantado/a de conocerte"
You don't need to use "lo" or "la", those are used for indicating objects in a phrase. Like "give it to him" that is said: "dáselo a él". Notice it, "to give" is said "dar", "dáselo" implies two things:
1) Conjugated for third person "das"
2) +lo, which means "it" for masculine.
So "dáselo" is "give it to him".
"Nice to meet you" has no relation, jst say "Encantado" or "Encantada" depending on your gender.
Thank you, Alvaro. The phrase given on Rosetta Stone is such a tongue twister for me and seems to be so much more than necessary. I really appreciate you shortening it to what most people would normally use. Muchissimo gracias!
A very informative article. I am now able to correlate linking practice and deliberate practice with many activities in the pharma industry in India. Thanks, Alvaro, for sharing
That's really interesting. I'm so glad to know I have a reader in India. I'm proud to know you find inspiration here and can apply it to your situation. That's fantastic, really!
Gracias, Alvaro, esta es un otro articula excelente.
¡Hola Sue! :)
Me alegra que te haya gustado. La historia de Jiro Ono es inspiradora, aprendí mucho sobre cultura japonesa. Muy útil. Espero que te sirva.
(Only one thing, your phrase should be in masculine: este otro articulo es excelente)

Hahahaha, that's right. Gender in Latin languages is chaotic and sometimes is hard to explain and makes zero sense. I understand you...

No problem Sue, it's fine.
