Thanks as a Spanish speaker I was trying to explain how the stem changes but I naturally already know it, so it’s interesting to find out the rules so I can let them know next time thanks so much!

[@MarkPineOfficial]

Thanks!

[@TheLanguageTutor]

Thank you!

[@jakethesnake95]

Fun linguistic fact: the e→ie and o→ue changes come from a historic sound change from Latin to Spanish! In Vulgar Latin (the spoken vernacular that was the basis of the Romance languages), vowel length was developed. The Vulgar Latin short E and short O, when stressed, evolved into IE and UE in Spanish. This is how, for example, "petra" became "piedra", "festa" became "fiesta", "bonum" became "bueno", and "porta" became "puerta". This was a regular and largely systematic change, known as "vowel breaking". In Spanish, it happened in both open and closed syllables (open=ending in a vowel; closed=ending in a consonant), whereas in Italian, it happened only in open syllables (so, for the above words, Italian has "pietra" and "buono", but "festa" and "porta"). In Portuguese, this change didn't happen at all (pedra, bom, festa, porta). This vowel change only happened when the vowel was stressed, which is why, in Spanish, the nosotros and vosotros forms of stem-changing verbs don't have the change (V.L. pensAmus → Sp. pensamos, pensAtis→pensáis; but pEnso→pienso, pEnsas→piensas, pEnsat→piensa, pEnsant→piensan).

[@vickybalinas8992]

Great video, 1st time in a year I have understood the change in an irregular verb. Thank you for the clear instructions 🙏

[@limingolfer]

Thank you Danny! I am from China , but live in Sweden, and now I moved to Marbella since I almost get retired, it is not easy to learn a new language in my age, specially the pronounce is difficult. Thank you for your courses, you helped me a lot. I will continue study.

[@dominichazell7862]

One thing I learned while learning Spanish is that even with verbs you may never have seen before you can instinctively know whether it is a stem-changer or not. Check in the dictionary anyway to be sure and if you find you’re right it really boosts your confidence.

stem-changing verbs' "Yo" forms are sometimes even different for example, tener is stem-changing verb but, it has the different "Yo" form

[@vanshajRaghav]

Perfecto

[@melvapryor9868]

For the vosotros form, how do you know when to use ‘is’ or ‘eis?’

[@Paxitosh]

i dont understand one thing. in another video of yours "decir" is also a stem changing verb which has 2 syllables which we are gonna change the first vowel which is an "e". we changed that e letter to "i" letter. but in this video, perder is also has the same things so i thought we are gonna make perder`s e to i. just like with decir, but we didn`t. what is the difference? thank you and i love your classes.

I'm confused and need help, how do you know if it's a stem changing verb or nor? I've watched the video twice and still don't get it. Hablar, caminar etc don't change so why do preferir and perder? What's the difference? Someone please help.

[@krimzonlarson1638]

I try using the term "STAY, STAY, STAY, NO, NO, STAY!!!" when attempting to find whether or not the stem needs to be changed. Figured that may help someone. :)

[@nandithanandu1695]

In the word decir (2syllable),we use digo (e is replaced by i) but in perder (2 syllables) e is replaced by ie. Can you explain it why?

How can i now if its a ue or ie stem changing verb Mr Danny?

[@kashmughal8498]

Awsome.

[@רוירמתי]

hi everyone, im studying the word empezar and comenzar. i noticed that in the conjugation, in a sentence you need to use the letter ''a'' before the verb for example: '' empienzo a entender'' i noticed that this verb you need to add the word a like in the verb ''ir'' : voy a comer''. are they more words that act like this, and if you know the reason and if there is a rule for it. muchisimas gracias :)

[@namkhanngajato3911]

[@pillcounter01]

i am following you. i can do your recommendation to conjugate other stem verbs but i need to here your pronunciation or another person who knows how to pronounce, doing on my own really slows me down. .

[@moheelpsychopa8755]

In wish tense do we use it ?

how to find next lesson. i would like more stem verb conjugation.
