[seriouslynow595]

[tontitofrito]

@seriouslynow595

watch part 2.

[ShineforHim101]

[euraznbarbie]

[ahhhpoetry]

Great video, I'm using it for mi clase de español 1B

[mendoza60w]

It's a great video,however I have one small remark to make: When formally addressing someone (usually an elderly person, a person of authority or a person with a title such as "Doctor" or "Licenciado") it is not grammatically correct to say "el teléfono de usted" (that would be the same as saying "el teléfono de ti"), instead "el teléfono SUYO" should be used.

Thanks :-)

[PurpleLovesyhu]

How did you leanr spanish?

[diamond007tt]

Where have u been all these yrs, I have tried to learn these things so long and less than 5 mins I have learnt this so fast!!! Thank u so much! Continue the good work!!

[edi3love]

what is the meaning of object? thanks

[tontitofrito]

@edi3love

In the dictionary, it defines object as: "a thing, person, or matter to which thought or action is directed"

[zondrah89]

what is the difference between del and de?

[tontitofrito]

@zondrah89

de = of

de + el = del = of the

[edinson4224456]

@zondrah89 Besides what @tontitofrito explained to you, you also must know that you should NOT do this "de+el=del" when the article "el" is part of the noun, like we read the story: El Principito, so one question regarding this story should take "El" as part of the proper noun and you cannot do "del", eg: ¿Qué fue lo que más te gustó de El Principito? ¿Quién es tu personaje favorito de El Principito?

[metal87power]

In English also exists plural possesions adjectives: Ours, Yours, His, Hers, Theirs..

[tontitofrito]

No, those aren't referring to the quantity of the objects.

Our shirt... Our shirts.

I believe those forms (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) are possessive pronouns.

[yankeeqt999]

why dont i get spanish!?? IVe been taking spanish 1 for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT

[BRoKeN1190]

i`m not student i just learn spanish for fun =D

[BRoKeN1190]

why you used 'sus ' with pantalones !!!! its singular !!!!

[BRoKeN1190]

@BRoKeN1190 oh! sorry it wasnt singular :$ 

[tontitofrito]

"su" is used for one thing

su casa - his/her house

"sus" is used for more things

sus amigos - his/her friends

because amigos is plural (more than 1), su also is more than one in Spanish.

[superkasha83]

Hola! I have small question - It shouldn't be "el gato de Sr. Jordan" instead of "el gato del Sr. Jordan"? I'm little confused ;-)

[tontitofrito]

When you talk directly to a person, it's Señor ____, Señora ___, Señorita ___.

When you talk about them, you have to have the definite article..

Eg:

El señor Jordan es muy raro.

Hablamos mucho de la señora Ortiz.

etc.

[Nikela1986]

@tontitofrito. What does el and de mean? 

[tontitofrito]

el = the

de = of, about, from

[metal87power]

@tontitofrito, "de" can be also used as "Marie's house" - Casa DE Marie.

[tontitofrito]

in that case it is 'of'... literally: "The house of Marie" --> "Marie's house"

[Bricksandgamesstudio]

it seems that when you wear the chicken shirt my class goes crazy and they usually pay alot more attention to you and do better in spainish class.

[tontitofrito]

Hmmm... I'll have to consider that when making new videos.
