THIS THAT in Spanish - Quick Hack

[@Aware506]

I remembered this with the saying or rhyme, “This and These have T’s.” Hopefully this helps someone remember while in conversation.

[@LearnSpanishLearnSpanish]

Great tip!

[@seesterran3822]

Thank you. Saying like that are very useful.

[@gregmcnair4272]

Yeah! What a great tip! You wouldn't believe how long I've been struggling with this.

[@gregmcnair4272]

@soy pïnk💓 Spanish has 2 words for this: esTe and esTa. It also has 2 words for these: esTos and esTAS. The Spanish words for that and those (esa, esa, esos, esas) don't have T's. So, " this and these both have T's".

[@barbaramccoy6448]

Thanks. That helps

[@seesterran3822]

🎀 I try to visualize myself standing next to a huge letter “T”, so if is something near me like ‘this boy’ = ‘esTe niño’, but if it’s far away from me, it’s far away from the “T”; ‘that boy’ = “ese niño”.

[@shemarirobinson6994]

This is amazingly helpful. Thank you!

[@MrPhilipski]

I tried using same truck with big T . Works Thanks for presenting Your idea

[@SanUnfiltered]

Thank you so much!

[@shreddxxCA]

I’ll never forget this now

[@yvonnehillis2461]

Great idea! Thanks👍🏻

[@Saddlebags73]

I’ve been learning Spanish for a while, now at the higher end of intermediate. Bit still get confused with este/esto etc. This is the most helpful video I’ve seen. Gracias por todo.

[@MrRileyF]

There is no esto only estos.

[@larrynarvaez7545]

“Esto” is neuter for the demonstrative pronoun “this”. I love “this” (not known if masculine or feminine) is me encanta “esto”. The masculine singular for “this” is “este”, e.g., este libro. The plural is “these” boys (estOs niños). The feminine is “esta, estas” both unaccented. 😊 The same thing goes with “eso” (ese, esos, esa, esas). 😊✌️

Me encanta esta lección.

I purchased this course and I am glad I did. It helped me to communicate with a non English speaking Spanish persons when I travel to Costa Rica. Compré este curso y me ayudó a hablar con personas de habla hispana en Costa Rica.

[@1Enjaz]

Just to imagine how a group of words sound so smillar but have so much different meanings! The difference between one or another is only an accent mark which appears only in writing or a T. But you have done a great job of making it clear. Muchas gracias.

[@katstarwolf3763]

This is GREAT information! I've been taking Spanish off and on (and from different sources) since 1966 when I was 11. I'm currently taking a certification course and am on level 3 of 4. NONE of the sources from which I've taken Spanish previously or now has ever broken this down and explained it as well/succinctly as have you! ¡Muchas gracias por su contribución informativa!

[@a.r1761]

Oh God since 1966, and now we are in 2024. Is something encouraging for age 55 like mine or is too difficult to learn if difficult then I better give up. Please advise

[@katstarwolf3763]

@@a.r1761 I suppose it depends on who you are and how you retain information. I love to learn, and I especially love learning other languages. If one sets their mind to it, it can be done. Everyone is capable; it just requires dedication/perseverance. You can do it! 👍😃

[@christopherstone6481]

ugh these literally are the best videos for me, also the level 1-6 is the best program i found for me, i just have one question, will you please do another course i dont know like level 6-12 i need more haha,

[@vickiladu6755]

I think this channel is great and he teaches very well, making it easier

[@edwardmoran1739]

I did not know the accent mark trick, thank you. Also, I liked the trick to remember which is which. Nice pace to lesson !!

Thank you, your explanation is brilliant. I finally understand this and that in Spanish.

@10:25 Éste & ésta i think both means 'this one' Former for masculine n latter for feminine....

[@MrVarunranjan]

Please correct me if I m wrong

[@larrynarvaez7545]

You are right, both mean “this one”, the former for masculine and the latter for feminine nouns modified. 😊👍

Good day. I hope you are doing fine in these quarantine days. I actually find it incumbent on me to thank you very much as I have learnt quite from your videos so far in particular this one que me gusta muchísimo. Muchas gracias con paz y bendiciones de Persia

Este vídeo fue uno de esos que necesitaba para repasar los básicos.👍Gracias ProSpanish. Siempre me llamas la atención a las detalles importantes con ejemplos claros y me ayuda mucho con sus trucos para memorizar el español.🙂 No sabía que 'NO ME GUSTA esta persona' pudiera significar 'I don't fancy...' 😀 Me encanta esto. ¡Es la primera vez he notado la diferencia entre: ÉSTE / ÉSTA con tilde = this one. ÉSE / ÉSA con tilde = that one. Un ejemplo mio: ¿Qué te parece esta bici? No me gusta ésta. Prefiero ésa. ¡Qué expresión tan util: ¿QUÉ ES ESTO? = What is this?

[@bixnash1]

Maybe a stupid question but is this European Spanish or South American Spanish....as I have been learning car as Carro and boy as nino as just a couple examples?

[@IbelieveinNothingPodcast]

Bixxy Nash they are interchangeable

[@atttalvarez]

Niño is more like kid in English. For boy we normally use ‘muchacho’ o ‘chico’ in Latin America. Car can be ‘auto’, ‘carro’ (Colombia and some Caribbean countries), ‘nave’ or ‘coche’ (Mexico and Spain).

[@bixnash1]

[@MrPhilipski]

One thing I noticed that in a sense you did not warn listeners because To Americans learning frase :Me gusta este chico for Native speakers means that you are attracted to that person in a sexual sense or physical attraction . I believe they use "me cae bien" if it is only about liking that person . You may have a class on that. I love your course. I just noticed that knowing that fact may help some of us avoid embracing mistake. 🤔😉.Philip

Hola ProSpanish! Acabo de comprar un curso de conjugar los verbos. Una preguntita, lo recipo por email o por post? Q tengas un buen tiempo haste q nos escribinos de nuevo! Eugenia Eriksson

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

I have a question, if I may. What if the context is somebody questioning an item, perhaps why it was purchased, and they say "What is this?" They know what it is, so they know the gender of that word, but they're really asking why someone else had bought it. "What's the meaning of this? Why did you buy it? That's what they mean, but what they say is "What is this?" Would I use "esto" in that instance? "¿Qué es esto?" Or would that manner of expression not be found in Spanish?

[@LearnSpanishLearnSpanish]

Yes esto.

[@cincinnatias]

So even if a man says that he likes this party, he would still use the feminine esta?

[@seesterran3822]

Yes, because the person is referring to the party, which is feminine, and not to himself. He’s saying ‘this party’, not ‘this me’.

[@larrynarvaez7545]

Even if a man says that he likes his own or any other man’s party, the modifier (adjective) of party will still be feminine because “fiesta” is feminine. 😊

[@SonShines1]

R u saying party?

[@subsetflorida]

Perfecto ....

[@NoaNoir]

Esta y este means this one

[@sallywright8065]

Am i being thick here? Is there a different word for `that`. I thought we were learning use of the word `this` here but it suddenly turned into `this` AND `that`.

Yes, very difficult at first. I thought the exact way. Once you learn how to apply them, you will look back and say, "piece of cake."
