The MANY uses of "Que" in Spanish

[@SithVicious]

Where the hell were you when I needed you…. Only just found your videos and already you seem to explain on my level better than anyone else.

[@DiscGolfKyle]

It’s hilarious that once I start thinking in Old English, it all makes perfect sense. Thanks for that.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Yeah, this is one of my favorite things about learning Spanish ... It really makes me think deeply and analytically about how modern English works and the roots of where our terms and phrases come from. It's amazing how often "oh yeah, various older ways of speaking in English are way closer to literal translations of this" hits me and helps me understand Spanish concepts.

[@PhoebusAmoebus]

Thanks for this, I understand better now. I was seeing/hearing "que" everywhere and it was driving me nuts because I could tell it meant different things in different contexts but I couldn't figure it out.

[@xxxmlgsonicxxx7981]

¿Qué?

[@laroyrichardson]

Same here

[@sierraclark3824]

I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and I learn so much easier from your videos 😭

[@rags2riches970]

Sierra Clark i took two years but skipped most of the 2 years. lmao now i wnna learn

[@hellogoodbye4402]

I have never seen anyone who teaches Spanish better than you

[@jpac73]

You make your videos really easy to understand and i love your teaching style. Thanks for helping learn spanish. Keep up the great work

Thanks for your kind words. I was actually worried that I would confuse people with this video here. Glad to see that I did not! :)

[@Squeek1227]

So many people post easy to learn content. You clearly have gone through the conversion from beginners Spanish to fluency and you understand what confuses people along the way. So many of your videos focus not on basic concepts that anyone can teach but instead nuanced concepts that you really have to understand another level of meaning to teach. I can't say how much I appreciate that. Thank you. I hope that you have continued your journey with Spanish; you would make an incredible teacher. (from a medical student who spends all day learning) edit: Also you mentioned teaching students, so more so I hope you've continued to teach

Thanks! My goal is to have people leave my videos without questions in the topic at hand. Glad you noticed. And I still teach and currently I'm working on an online course because I'm getting too many teaching requests Jaja. Thanks for you kind words!

[@easyawesomemagic5703]

This is exactly where Duolingo fails. They teach everything out of context.

[@spicystapler58]

I found a native tutor on Preply and haven't touched Duolingo since...

[@picklepirate]

The practice at the end was genius and sitting on the bed made it so comfortable and conversational

[@williammathis6044]

Hermano you have a gift for teaching the little nuances in Spanish that make a HUGE difference in my comprehension and studies. Aprecio mucho.

The little things all add up. Gla that I can help. There is much more to come! : )

[@PecoMid]

This is the first video that actually made me understand how to understand and use Que. Thanks!

[@kencorder3696]

Ricky, this is the BEST explanation of "que" that I have ever seen/heard. As always you make the difficult simple. Thank You.

[@gregarmstrong2500]

Thank you! I'm mostly learning Spanish with comprehensible input, but I find your videos really helpful to clear up some of the quirks that don't directly translate from English.

[@joshiyonnahayes6016]

This made me understand the use of it more! Muchas gracias🙂❤

No problem. Mor to come. Thanks for watching!

[@joevahniplaisil2291]

Gracias mi pana, descubrí tu canal hace como 3 semanas, tus vídeos me ayudan mucho, principalmente para dominar el español dominicano. Que sigas con la misma energía 💪🔥

[@benaurelius]

This is awesome, often when we begin the journey Que sounds and looks like a filler word. You have rounded out all the common uses of it and it really helped. Thanks man.

[@manda81lynn]

I have a friend that is Spanish and you’ve been helping me a lot to understand them and what there tying to say.Thank you!!

[@MegaKarotin]

Thanks so much, I`ve been having problems with my solo learning cause grammar can get confusing but thanks to your succinct explanation - I`m starting to get it. You`re my go to from now on:)

[@sherideloach2869]

This video was so helpful!!! I have been struggling with knowing when to use que after a verb. So, this video was perfect! Thank you for your efforts in helping others to understand Spanish.

[@batgirl052009ify]

Great video! I feel like you gave out cheat codes haha. I already knew about a lot of the many uses of que, but I didn't know about "hacer que" or the que for emphasis. *virtual thumbs up*

Lol There is so much more that I didn't even touch in this video, so stay tuned for the rest.

[@1Tonancy]

The best explanation on KZbin, thank you, so much!!!

[@miserably]

I’m trying to learn Spanish cause I’m half mexican🇲🇽 and half american🇺🇸 and i have heard Spanish all my life and understand almost everything people say in Spanish around me, but I can’t really speak it and I been wanting to so I’m gonna try and watch your videos and teach myself! I already know lots cause I heard it as a kid so it shouldn’t be hard if I dedicate myself to learn.

You cn definitely do it. If you can understand it, then it is in you, you just have to pull it out. Just let me know if you have any questions. I would love to help you.

[@kab9052]

You make your videos so easy to follow through. Thanks fir posting this

Thanks for checking it out. More videos like this coming soon!

[@my_speakingspot]

Thank you for this video. I found it extremely useful the manner in which you teach is so clear and your examples are relatable. I'm very happy I found your channel.

[@sagittariansage_2271]

You are such a wonderful teacher Ricky, thank you!!🙏🏾❤️

[@sarasara888]

Ricki, you are just so precious (especially when waiting for our quiz answers...😍). Super clear video, I was never lost, I paused your blue screens as needed, you definitely clarified a lot. Thanks for your golden heart and... blessing!

haha Thanks as always Sara. I always try to look friendly while waiting because I don't know what to do during that time lol.

[@cliffpage7677]

Complemento in que tu ensenarse la lingua, y las idiomas y frases. Su esila es muy practica y facil para cmprender.

[@kiIIianaire]

Super glad I found your videos. Thank you so much for these!

[@jimmy8377]

Cabe mencionar que también el "que" se puede emplear al inicio de una frase para expresar sorpresa o felicidad. Ejemplo" : ¿Que te vas a Argentina!!? Y también para ligar frases. Ejemplo: Ella no quiere ir. Que ya es muy tarde. (Manera coloquial de decir "es que ya es muy tarde" o "porque ya es muy tarde" También se puede hacer la cláusula subjuntiva antes de la cláusula principal si es un tema de que ya hablamos. Ejemplo: "no quiero ir. (Que) estoy enfermo" "Que estés enfermo no me importa. Vas a ir"

[@maharudra947]

You made it simple for me. Muchisima gracias Senor.

[@gaelstrarai]

Wow, I've never seen a word fill so many spots in a sentence apart from the english four-letter word starting with F, LOL. Thank you so much for this video!

[@karleo82]

Wow I was just discussing this word three days ago with someone and how it is used in so many ways. Thanks for this video!

Yes that word and "se" have a thousand different uses for no reason. lol. Thanks for watching!

[@timtrottproductions]

I really like the background behind the titles. Thank you! Easy to read on a smaller (SE) phone. Gracias!

[@allihi]

Great video Rickie. I recently learned about the use of , " como que" to mean "like or as if" . If you could touch on it in a future video it would be amazing I always thought using "como" and "que" together meant something else but I guess it can mean lots of other things in a sentence depending on if an accent is used or not and where. Anyway, can't wait to see your next lesson.

Como que is one of my favorite phrases. I'll clarify that for you! : )

[@queenlaatl]

Yo empece aprender el subjuntivo ayer. Creo que es útil al menos estar expuesto al subjuntivo antes que después. Este video fue un complemento genial. Gracias!

Sí. Estoy de acuerdo. Sé que en las escuelas, lo enseñan a los avanzados y entiendo porque, pero yo quisiera introducirlo mas temprano que tarde.

[@picklepirate]

this video is fantastico lol learning Spanish from scratch - this cleared up so many questions other resources did not cover

[@dudeofsteel3118]

How's your progress so far? Hope you've come a long way.

[@TheyLuvvSparkles]

I really like the little quiz you incorporated into the video. I got 3 out 4 right 👍🏾😁

[@carmengeorgeweddings3906]

You are a wonderful teacher.

Thanks! I try 😁

[@relltrelle2221]

Great video rico !!!! I miss you teaching me man ! 👌🏾 keep up the good work !

Thanks bro. I'm back to teaching now that my training is over. Sorry I got a little sloppy there. I bit off more than I can chew without even knowing it.

[@relltrelle2221]

Rickie Walls totally fine bro . Just let me know when you ready ! I’m ready when you are !

[@darrenlee8265]

Thank you so much . Definitely have a better understanding now. Blessings

[@bilc3868]

"May the force be with you "🤔, In Spanish is "Qué la fuerza te acompañe" 🤔. Yes, in this case, qué means May, hum, it's interesting 🤔🤨. Soy nativo del español 😲 y me sorprende tanto el uso del "que". Lo uso mucho "que" no me doy cuenta cuando lo hago.

Así soy yo en canto al inglés. a veces cuando lo enseño, se me pone difícil explicar algo que siempre uso porque no pienso en las reglas. jaja. Gracias por comentar amigo!

[@myconsciousness666]

Muy útil vídeo Señor muchas gracias

[@SwisyzinnaandCompany]

I see that I'm late to the party but if you happen to see this, can you make a video like this using the word tambien, it's driving me bonkers! ...and thank you for this it helped tremendously...

[@anferneepatterson2677]

Can you explain the differences between tú, te, and tí?

Of course. reat suggestion. I may do that today!

[@ncr8526]

Tú (with accent) means You (personal pronoun subject), with no accent "Tu" means Your (adjective possesive). Ti is personal pronoun object You. Te has no exact translation, it's close to reflexive pronouns such as Yourself, as for example Ex. Tú te peinas => You comb yourself.

[@LeoraSims]

Thank-you this is very helpful!

[@r4q52m]

Mejor explicado, imposible! Sobre el uso de qué/que en Español. Saludos desde Argentina.

Gracias roque!! No sabía que eras de argentina! Saludos!

[@r4q52m]

@ vos transmitís muy buena vibra (debe ser el "aire caribeño" que has adoptado). Keep up the good work, amigo!

[@nickallbritton3796]

First.... Love your channel so far! Keep pushing these vids out 😎

Thanks so much! I have more time now, so You will see a lot more from me!

[@diegocassini9523]

¡Qué buen maestro! Mil gracias por la info de “que”!

[@ruzicmedia5226]

Great video I am here in Guatemala and I have been struggling with the use of que. This is going to help immensely. I just subscribed and plan to watch more of your videos!

[@artemis2016]

The last one tripped me up, but I got the rest right. Proud of myself.

the more practice, the better. It gets easier with time. Good job though!

[@artemis2016]

Rickie Walls I practice every. Sometimes 30 minutes and sometimes 2 hours. Depends on how much time I have. Thanks.

[@nicedog1]

Este vídeo es muy útil. Muchas gracias.

[@fullcircleadoptee2213]

Love, love, love how you explain! Subscribed! Muchas gracias!

[@ezerosemary8850]

Very helpful. I love it. Gracias

[@Noabynature]

Does this apply in all Spanish speaking countries? Like does this apply in Mexico? As well as Spain and Puerto Rico?

YEs. This is basic spanish grammar. : )

[@AyeeGreen]

So excited for more videos! I was wondering if you could speak about the Spanish tenses. Like present perfect etc. That’s would be awesome! I’m currently learning Spanish. And I love every bit of the language! Peace and blessings!! Love the videos! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

I'm trying to figure out how I want to display that information, because, I'm actually coming up with a program that I am going to sell. Some things I was going to save for that course, but I don't wanna leave my subscribers hanging, so I may just do it anyway, because the way that I'm setting up my course is that they will get the same lesson, but they will just have A LOT more to work with as far as practice resources, and an homework matierial and things of that sort.

[@AyeeGreen]

Cool beans!

[@rachel-iu4dc]

Thanks for the great video

[@louistroche5830]

Que confuses me too. especially when it means "to" like Tengo que ir a la tienda

[@silvestrenet]

"to" is the use you give it in English. Tengo que ir a la tienda--- "que" in this case is tied up to verb "tener + que" I have to go to the store

[@normc553]

Very helpful! Muchos gracias!

[@jayflvcko4452]

Can you do a video on how to use “Lo” por ejemplo “sabes lo mucho que te amo” y “Eso lo que mi madre está haciendo“

Of course!!! Coming very soon!

[@darriuswilliams4082]

Hermano tu estas muy bueno gracias estoy aprendiendo un poco un poco

[@bigwill1583]

He aprendido mucho de este video, gracias

[@cronaman3196]

Theres another way to say maybe?! So is there a difference between puede que, quizad and tal vez?

[@Marietoosweet]

Great video!!!! Gracias!

Thanks!!! I appreciate you taking the time out to watch!

[@chskeldon]

This is great. Thanks.

[@keytardan1]

Thank you. This was very helpful

[@onthefence1492]

Awesome video, very clear and helpful

[@graceelisabethwilliams9022]

I need to write these down!

That's what I hope everyone does. Otherwise they'll forget. Thanks for watching!!

[@JazminRenay]

Rickie you are the bees knees omg This is super helpful 🙏😁

Gracias! I love to help you guys understand. This wasn't even all of the uses. Part two coming soon!

[@tumama8293]

Hi, I'm Spanish native speaker... And if you want we can make a language exchange.

[@beshebabarnes3004]

I will exchange with you

[@teeteesoprecious]

The first ¿Qué? was a small set back for me because I didn't know the "what" I wanted was actually cuál and that ¿Qué? = la significa

Here's how "Qué" and "Cuál" work. Qué - mostly means "what", but can mean which in that specific case. Cuál - Mostly means which, but can sometimes mean what. I'll do a whole video on the differences. : )

@J Luxe I'll be making it very soon. Make sure you're subscribed so you won't miss it! ☺️

[@julioollarvia651]

I was confused for a moment by the sentence "El es mas alto que yo" and why it wasn't que me instead but remembering back to my ancient english classes we American english speakers say it wrong when we say "he is taller than me." Grammatically, it should be taller than I also. Just thought I'd add this if it helps someone.

[@genikaruiz5916]

Bueno consejo Muchos gracias!

[@southdougla]

Soooo helpful thank you

[@CallmeAshlyn]

Useful summary

[@DefineMorena]

I needed help with this. Thanks for posting!

No problem! Glad that I could be of service to you!

[@c.xiiusen]

Very useful!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@walex1101]

Las frases “Hacer que” y “Poder que” son frases nuevas para mi.....si quiero decir “Puede que” como dijiste “Puede que esté atrapado en tráfico” ...Yo digo “Es posible que esté atrapado en tráfico” ....sin embargo con “Hacer que” nunca tuve la situación en la que tuviera que usar esa frase, pero con eso puedo mejorar mis habilidades

There is always more to learn. I learn more all of the time. However There is nothing wrong with saying it the other way. As far as Hacer que. I had to learn that one because I wantned to use it once, but didn't know how to say it. lol

[@ArdaUnhail]

This is helpful

[@mikaelaking1355]

Thank you so much this was so helpful!!

[@shnapppy]

Awesome video! Thanks

[@thetraceyfarrar9791]

¡Gracias!

[@mayasanders1046]

Jajaja I use Cuál for technical situations that's the way I learned it in school I also did learn that que sometimes means "that" MIL GRACIAS por este video porque yo olvido las reglas para las palabras!

I'm going to do a que vs cual video just for clarity. Pero no hay de que! Me encanta ayudarlos! :) Toma buenos apuntes!

[@hot4jt]

What about lo que?

[@Crystal_12gem]

Rozalyn Leslie it means "what". But not "what" in a question. Example This is what makes me scared. Esto es lo que me da miedo.

I was going to discuss that in another video, because I felt it would be too much for this one lol. but it could mean "what" "that which", or "the thing that" Eres lo que comes - You are that which you eat or, You are what you eat. Puedes hacer lo que tú quieres. - You can do what you want. No soy lo que tú piensa que soy. - I am not what you think I am, or I'm not that which you think I am. Lo que te quiero decir es que... - The thing that I want to tell you is that.. I'll go over it in another video to clarify it better.

[@karisiscool4012]

good video, helped a lot!! gracias :))

[@shannonwilmore2055]

Hola, I watched this video and am very excited about what I learn, but I found a sentence that has me a little confused. "El ciclista cayó de su bicicleta después de que un coche lo golpeara." I don't understand the why que is necessary here. Thank you for all that you do.!!

[@kaarenremley7585]

Bless you! Im less confused now!

[@dcavanaugh310]

Great lesson, thank you!!!

Thanks for watching!

[@MustangDesudiroz]

que fucks me up bad lol

[@alit5563]

You articulate yourself well explaining things. One question I have is when you say “más” sometimes it sounds like you say “má” and sometimes like you say “más”. Is that on purpose, and does that change the meaning at all?

[@CrystalsTake]

Hola! Muchas gracias por este video! Me ayudó mucho. However I'm not sure in which category "Que no!" would fall as a reply to a question. I'm not sure if it's more of a Spanish (from Spain) way of speaking. For example: Quieres que me voy? Que no!

[@AzuReGravity]

Hey Rickie, I remember you replying to someone's comment of them asking how you would say "see?!" and you replied with viste. I'm wondering if viste is used mostly in the dominican dialect or do they use it in Mexico?

Gravity™ it's universal to say "viste" otro "ves" It's not slang but rather a literal translation

[@AzuReGravity]

Rickie Walls Gracias hermano

[@SaucyGamers]

So when would I use “cual” or “que” when I’m trying to say “which”? I’ve had natives correct me but I don’t understand why
