15:44 you misspelled "olvidarsele."

12:30 you used 'mi' for the English 'my professor...' I hate to mention it - but it's proof I'm paying attention and following along in detail. This was a good lesson, thank you.

Will buy you a coffee,okay!

It wasn't his fault was it? Well, that is his story.

@@jamesprice4647 lol it's never his fault 🙃

@17:10 Paul excellently expIains the complexities of olvidarse!

@@katanaki3059 lol I watched the video, which is why I brought it up

@@jamesprice4647hahaha, smart man!

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Excelente 👍👍👍

Perfect!

This video was inspired by comments I read in the Qroo Spanish Crew. :)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That's very interesting!

Old English didn't have a word "the". It had different articles depending on the case, number, and gender of the noun, so it would be "Þā" (plural accusative); I can't be bothered to look up how the full sentence would have been in Old English, but I do know that the reduction of all definite articles to "the" didn't happen until Modern English.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thanks!

Make sure you have a solid understanding of impersonal verbs, direct object pronouns, indirect object pronouns, and double object pronouns. It sounds like a lot but they're really simple and then this whole structure falls into place. Then it's just a matter of practice for fluidity. Hope that helps!

That was my fault, Ivan. My apologies. :)

@@QrooSpanish I am glad! You are human! 😉

You're welcome. I should do a video on all of the uses of SE. That pesky creature pops up everywhere.

Gracias. :)

That's awesome! Welcome to The Crew!

I did Duolingo Turkish. I remember in one lesson, they were like, "This is a sight for our sore Indo-European eyes". Yeah, Turkish has a lot of concepts completely foreign to English speakers, like how relative clauses are done by adding a suffix to the verb instead of by a relative pronoun; for example "Yeşil şapkayı takan adam" = "The man who wears the green hat" (more literally, "Green hat-the wear-who man").

I'm glad I caught that during editing.

Me too!

¡Yo también!

Thank you! Will do.

It is a tough topic. This is how I tackled it and now I pass on what worked for me in the hope it works for others.

Absolutely. I have found myself.having to stop + think + proceed with these type constructions.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! And thanks for watching. :)

Fantastic!

Thank you!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great to hear!

Thanks 👍

¡Gracias!

Thanks. I'm glad ypu enjoyed it. :)

Thank you!

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

I studied classical guitar in Alicante during the Franco era, 1971 to 1973. I wound up taking private lessons at Berlitz, and found this grammatical construction to be quite amusing! It seemed like everywhere I went, things were breaking all by themselves.

Haha, thanks. I'm glad you found it useful. :)

@@QrooSpanish For sure!

I will dedicate a video to the three versions of olvidar.

@@QrooSpanish U Rock 🔥🙏🏾

Me encanta(n) "vídeos" es plural

@@multilingual972 Lo siento. No entiendo. Por favor me explicas otra vez. Muchas gracias 🙂 Oh, muchos no mucho 🤦‍♀️

@@multilingual972 Estoy tanta, entiendo ahora. Encantan. Muchas gracias 🙂

Gracias. :)

Se me olvidó esta gramática. "Gramática" es singular.

Gracias. Me alegra que te gusten mis videos.

It's good to see you, Rick.

Your post made me think of how much I have lost on my JetBlue stock. 😥

@@QrooSpanish lo siento…..

Hi! It's so good to hear from you. :)

Thanks! 😃

*Certainly.*

A María le rompieron los anteojos o Maria quebro los anteojos porque ella no quiere ver la verdad. ¿Cuál quieres? Que yo decir? Repuesta de Maria ?A mi? ¿A mi¿ pendejada !

Ils ont cassé les lunettes de Maria ou Maria a cassé ses lunettes parce qu'elle ne veut pas voir la vérité. Lequel tu veux? Que dois je dire? Réponse de Maria : À moi ? Conneries pour moi !

They broke all by themselves Maria's glasses or Maria broke her glasses herself because she doesn't want to see the truth. Which one do you want? What do I say? Maria's response: (You blame that on me?) To me? You are putting that Bullshit on me? to me! It makes no sense in English to say that blame is placed on me. But it does make sense to say the bullshit is placed on me. Prepositions and eclectics are the most difficult parts of language because they are the Alpha and Omega of all languages. Paul is telling an important thing here that is heard all day long and into the night 😂

@@josedelnegro46 no entiendo bien lo que quieres decir, quizás debas chequear tu redacción

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi. I would recommend starting with my first 11 lessons of CERO to Conversational. Many people say the approach propelled their Spanish -- even after only one lesson. Here is the playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brWqmZCeuNaxdp8.html

@@QrooSpanish thank you! keep up the great work!

That's a great topic. Thanks.

Yes, I would say that people tend to use this most to describe events in the past. In Spain, the present perfect is often used to describe events in the recent past, so you may see something like: a Juan se le han roto los platos.

I'm Mexican, and we use the verb "antojar(sele)" instead of "apetecer", but we understand what it means in Spain, of course.

No, de with olividársele: Se le olvidó hacer algo. Another option is olvidarse de. Me olvidé de hacerlo. I forgot to do it. (I am the subject here).

Así es.

Haha, that whole "until later" followed by the dragged out "hasta luego" is something that started a long time ago. It's like a tagline now. It does generate quite a few comments though. :)

@@QrooSpanish It's silly (and should go), but you get a pass because your vids are so IMPRESIONANTE!

In this kind of phrases, "se" always go first.

True. That is a mega-verb and a great video suggestion! Thanks!

Arrgh, I hate typos. They are the bane of my existence.

I'm intrigued! I'll take a look at it.

@@QrooSpanish The word “dimicular” does exist in Spanish, but it’s a verb that is often used in a playful or humorous way. According to the search results, it’s a verb that is used as a joke to ask someone to conjugate it, and the person who accepts the challenge might start saying “yo dimiculo” without realizing that it can be reanalyzed as “di mi culo”, which is a vulgar phrase.

Arrgghh, I loathe typos.

@@QrooSpanish No te preocupes. Eres el mejor. Gracias por todo! 😁

OOPS, you just explained it thanks!

You might be adding new vocabulary too quickly. Try just reviewing the old vocabulary and once you have that memorized, start adding slowly.

You're welcome 😊

It does. Se nos quedaban dos opciones así que..... We had two options left, so....

I pulled the old one. The production quality was terrible.

Apetecer is common in Spain but antojarse is used more in Latin America.

Both are acceptable but in most of Latin America antojársele is more common. In Spain, apetecer is the more common verb.

Yes, you can say that.

I'm a Spanish speaker, and yes, you can put "a Juan" at the end.The only thing to correct in your sentence is the fact that you wrote "llegue", which is in the subjunctive mood, and it should be "llega", in the indicative mood.In this case, your phrase doesn't require the subjunctive.

I would prefer ¿Le preguntaste a Juan, a qué hora llega el autobús?

@@multilingual972 Yes, that would definitely be the most correct way to express that phrase.I was just trying to translate it more literally so it could be more "matching" with the original.

Because the subject of the sentence is the door, not you. It broke, the te is added to indicate that you were affected by it breaking.

@@QrooSpanish Ohhh THATS NEW KNOWLADGE TO ME!! Thank you very much

It would be awkward in general but not incorrect. I can imagine ir being used but only in a special context in which the order change made sense. Person 1- And then, when he started saying those horrible things, I barely could make any sense of the situation! Person 2- Yeah, I was struggling to make sense of it and could only think of one possibility: that he was mistaking you for someone else. Person 3- A mí, tres posibilidades se me ocurrieron. The major emphasis is that's that person's position, which foreshadows that it will be in opposition to the others. Then there's a subsequent emphasis in the number of possibilities, suggesting that Person 3 didn't find the incident that striking. Since it's clear that the topic is the ideas that occurred to them, the verb contains the least information and can be relegated to the last place.

I agree with Pedro. It would sound unnatural and awkward.
