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

[@Deja11245]

Amazing!!

[@peppepinz2886]

[@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. :)

I understand these irregularities when you explain them, i just don't understand why they exist in the first place. It seems like complicating things for the sake of it.

[@tatianajaimes3043]

As a Spanish native who learned English and is learning Portuguese I can say humans just like to make their life harder😂 every language has exceptions, and don’t let me start with the English irregular verbs they gave me nightmares during school

[@deanhowell5936]

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.

[@arastoksoy2402]

OK, but why we are changing stems? What is the linguistic purpose?

[@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).

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

[@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. .

[@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.

[@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 :)
