OUR SUBTITLES 🔡
We try to translate our subtitles into English in the most literal way possible, without losing the meaning. While it may not always produce the best-sounding translation, we hope you find this helpful as it should reduce the need for a dictionary or grammar book to understand every sentence.

Buena idea!

[@budekins542]

Superb channel.

[@EasyPortugueseVideos]

Excelent video! Portuguese learners also struggle a bit with the subjunctive mood 😅. This video gives us some interesting perspectives to approach the subject

I wanted to hear you sing! I need the extended cut of this video, jajaj

Hola... Amigos..... Me encanta easy Spanish. this video is really helpful. Thanks friends.❤

[@thexgamer8240]

Ayy… el subjuntivo es el mayor obstáculo para aquellos que aprenden español, incluso yo. Sin embargo, una vez que lo domines, será muy fácil.

[@FlorianHWave]

There are so many time forms and conjugations in Spanish that I usually just ignore the subjuntivo and try not to think about it too much. People will still understand me and it will probably just come naturally once I am more fluent and have a few years practice.

[@TheXPERT891]

here’s the way i think of it. a basic example lets say we wanted to say “Don’t be silly” in spanish without the subjuntive conjugation we would say its “no eres tonto”, which translates to “you are not silly” this is where subjunctive comes in. “no seas tonto” is the correct way because you have a desire for someone not to act that way. again, it literally translates to, “don’t be silly!” also, subjuntive is always used after words like “espero que”, “Ojalá que”, etc. no tengas miedo de usarlo! (another example) hope that helps :)

[@FlorianHWave]

@@TheXPERT891Yeah, I'm familiar with it coming after the word "que" (in most cases). But I'm still not good at getting the normal word endings correctly. So if I want to say, "Espero que beban cerveza", then in my head I'm like "okay, what is 'to drink' in Spanish? Is it 'beber' or 'bebar' or 'bebir'? Oh, it's 'beber', so I need to change it to an 'a' in this sentence", etc. etc. The amount of time it takes me to form a grammatically correct sentence in my head before speaking it, just makes it impossible to have a proper conversation, so I made it my strategy to just ignore it for now until I'm more fluent. I hope that makes sense, haha

[@FlorianHWave]

@@TheXPERT891Oh, I just noticed - isn't "no seas tonto" an imperative and not a subjunctive?

Hola a todos ! José , Harry sin fuerzas pero cuando pueda escribiré mi humilde comentario ay justo en este momento he usado el presente de subjuntivo , Me alegro mucho de que hayáis grabado este episodio sobre el subjuntivo Espero que Estéis bien ….. Todo esta claro para mí muy bien explicado Lo sé que me falta muchísimo pero espero que algún día pueda dominar el subjuntivo con vuestra ayuda no es fácil pero yo haré todo lo qué posible para poder usarlas todas las estructuras gramaticales correctamente en el futuro sin miedo y vergüenza…. Gracias infinitas 🙏🤍Le doy mi corazón y enorme gratitud Amo vuestro canal Un saludo cordial desde hospital Madrid siempre con mucho respeto y admiración Paulina El subjuntivo es primordial si quieres aprender español Estaré esperando por la segunda parte sobre el SUBJUNTIVO! Todos vuestros explicaciones, ejemplos y ejercicios son muy importantes y útiles para mí Ahora voy a practicar todos los ejemplos !

[@hollowedboi5937]

Ar- get the “e” from Er Er & Ir- get the “a” from Ar Any irregulars regardless of ending or “yo” form irregulars will use both the rule above with the irregular in all conjugations. Often times this is used when “que” is used in front Use subjunctive if connected to the main subject, and infinitive if not. [This is what I surmised from this, I believe this is something that once you see to just keep immersing and looking out for these rules to get used to hearing and using it. Practice with simple verbs you know under these rules and irregularities practicing scenarios and all the options that could come up in a conversation]

[@carrie_lol]

espero que hayan más vídeos del subjuntivo ❤❤ Thank god you will make a series covering the subjunctive because Duolingo won’t teach it until you start the intermediate units (B1) and they give you SO little notes. 😭 PS: HARRY Y JUAN HACEN UN GRAN DÚO CÓMICO

[@merjaju]

Bebás?

[@KamilsView]

"Los verbos pasan a utilizar..." - que significa exactamente "pasan" en esta expression?

[@EasySpanish]

Hola! Usé el verbo “pasar” para indicar un cambio, una transición de “a” a “e” porque en esa parte hablo sobre el cambio de vocal que sufren las conjugaciones en español. Espero que sea útil esta respuesta! Saludos, José

[@KamilsView]

Ok, pero conjugacionen sufren? Como? Con dolor? 🙂@@EasySpanish

[@renuka1741]

gracias

[@eliasshakkour2904]

@@KamilsView sufrir is often used to mean “undergo” in a neutral sense. That’s what it means here. Nothing to do with suffering 😅

[@JohnHeng-gv7bs]

Hola papi

[@user-jf7gn4dm8p]

No entiendo porque Harry se uso el subjunctivo cuando dijo, "Han cerrado algunas calles en Barcelona para que la gente conduzca menos". Porque no usa "conduce", cuando sabemos que han cerrado las calles por este razon. No tenemos dudas y es una observacion de la vida real, no es algo hipotetico .

[@paulina7177]

Discúlpame por favor por este atrevimiento pero creo que Harry usó el subjuntivo en este caso porque la expresión PARA QUE siempre vaya con el subjuntivo por supuesto puedo estar equivocada no soy hablante nativo Hermoso comentario me gusta muchísimo Espero que no haya ofendido a Usted si he escrito o hecho algo malo discúlpame 🥲

[@paulina7177]

No me hagas caso por favor no debería escribir mi opinión sobre este tema 🙏😞Te deseo todo lo mejor Le mando un saludo cordial desde hospital

[@minhhoangpham2944]

Hi. Could Harry speak louder?

[@renuka1741]

Bienvenido

[@hannofranz7973]

No creo que el subjuntivo sea tan dificil. Es imprescindible que lo aprendas usar para hablar correctamente. Espero que te sirvan mis frases como ejemplos. Es importante que no te desesperes. Te aconsejo que pratiques el subjuntivo con los verbos más básicos primero. Cuando los hayas aprendido, te recomiendo que añadas más verbos en subjuntivo. ¡No dudes de ti mismo/a! Ojalá lo aprendas usar rápido. (All these sentences have one thing in common. They express a level of uncertainty, wishes, doubts, give advice or comment on something indirectly: It's important that ..., necesaary that ... etc)

[@christinay4108]

Thanks for the video. It would be more helpful if you could speak slower. Since this is called Super Easy Spanish and meant for beginners, it should match the level of listeners, right?
