This is a great video. Useful vocabulary. A quick and easy grammar lesson all in one PLUS a really good reference. Thank you. Blessings

Thank you for this invaluable and practical lesson Paul. So appreciated!

Your most recent videos are great little nuggets on specific topics of interest -- just enough information to understand the material, and not too much to overwhelm initial curiosity. You're doing a great service to Spanish learners everywhere. Thanks so much!

Thanks professor You're videos are just very practical

FOR THOSE SPECIALIZING IN MEXICAN SPANISH, and maybe other countries, when something smells or tastes bad it is also very common to say "huele feo/a", "sabe feo/a". Things smell or taste ugly. There are other circumstances where they would say ugly instead of bad as well but these are very common, especially in Mexican Spanish. Of course, it also has to agree with gender and number as well just like the rules n this video. Thank you Qroo Paul!

Muchísimas gracias. Súper útil, como siempre.

Hi! Can you do a video with "feels like" and "looks like". Maybe as a part two to this video?

Hola Qroo, I have been trying to learn Spanish for about 20 years off and on. Right now I take a one hour lesson once a week from a wonderful Mexican teacher. I came across your videos about a year ago and I have to say that I really enjoy your approach. You use great analogies between the English and the Spanish. That really helps to paint a picture in my mind. You provide a great service to the language illiterate American, like myself. I’ll probably not get as proficient as you, but that’s my aspiration. Thanks for all you for us. 👏👏😎👍 I’d like to support your channel. Please send me the method to do this.

This is a huge lesson. These are things that cannot be guessed nor arrived at by direct translation from one's language or intuitively...

Great video! That's definitely a challenge for my English speaking students! I'll share these video with them.

These are the groovy-ist videos. So relevant to everyday life. Thanks a bunch. 😊

Short and sweet! ❤

Sabe a palabras

Always useful and helpful to improve mi español. Gracias Paul.

These are great tips and it goes to show that minor details can have a significant effect on the meaning of a sentence. Thank you for sharing this, much appreciated.

Nice. I have never heard that usage of saber in Peru. Sounds like....I still have trouble with! Got it now! Gracias!!!

Nice lesson. Thumbs up

Graciii

I used to have a problem with shoes and squash!!!!

😍thank you for the💎♦

Another great video Paul. I just learned I was using taste like wrong. I was saying: esta cerveza sabe como saliva de lagarto… now I know to use sabe a…. Gracias maestro!

Ola Paul. Gracias por otro un leccion maraviosa. Trato de escribit en espanol. I still have trouble with bien or buen so thanks for pointing this out. Rick de Salt Lake

Great video!! Thank You!! How do you learn another language? Well, you have to start, dive in. I enjoyed the focus on everyday activities- Smelling, Tasting. How about shopping (esp. bargaining), driving, workplace conversations?

Is there any possibility that you teach private lessons (in your spare time😂)? If I had learned this way to begin with...I would've been so grateful. You are amazing and such a natural teacher! Muchas gracias 😊

WHAT, that is so weird, only thought 'saber' was to know. Nice one.

How do you come up with all these!?! You are a great motivation for my one month in Madrid where I attend an intensive Spanish language course. We are creating a group and willl share your KZfaq channel with other students! Salud!!! 🍷

Oh my goodness,,how do you know all this…this is a great video

That was funny. Cuando Maria ronca suena como una motosierra. Rick

Frog legs and turtle have a similar taste. Both are sort of midway between chicken and fish, more or less. You aren't going to confuse them for chicken, though. Thanks for the lessons, keep it up!

"Sabe un poco dulce." It can be used, but "dulce" in this context is an adjective, and so we'd normally say, "Està un poco dulce." Or, if we want to keep "saber," we'd say, "Sabe a algo dulce," or "Sabe como algo dulce." Other examples: "Està bien dulce," "Sabe a pato." "Sabe a gallina loca." "Esta muy amarga." "Sabe a algo que es amargo."

Paul . My confusión with saber being used for how something tastes Is that the word i thought for taste was sabor ? Or soboroso for tasty . You didn't mention when to use or if sabor Is rarely used ? Can you clarify that for me . These are the things i can't seem to grasp by studying verbs . Thanks

How would you distinguish "what does chicken taste like" and "what does THE chicken taste like" in Spanish, since the example uses "EL pollo" For the prior?

Cual es la diferencia entre saber y saborear

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wait till he has to translate "perro" o "los pinche perritos están cazando" o "ya no vale la madre" 😅😅😅. Many fun examples.

One more item. I once went into a tienda to buy a colchon and asked for a cojón! Kid you not!

Sabe a pollo, me imagino...

I’ve eaten frog legs, and they do in fact taste like chicken.

I’ve heard huele feo more than huele mal.

I didn’t know saber meant to taste. When I first read the title I thought it was “what does the chicken know?” Lol thought this would be a video on idioms😅

Malecon y maricon tambien....can I say that??!; Lo siento!!!! Peruanos are very forgiving!!! Not so many hangups here!!!! Gringo is not offensive here. Normal...also the "N" word...which I can use here( Peru) but not here(KZfaq) the so-called developed world is much too sensitive (neurotico)!! Or is it neurotica?

One thing I am still not clear about .. how to explain that different people have different tastes!!!! I think I sound like a cannibal!!!!! Still not quite fluent! Tonto!!!!

Grammar is how you say it is. I have not slept well due to "lo suficiente.". The Grammar behind that takes me to Egypt around cerca 300 BC or before the current era. I have not used saber as you show. Butt does not cover that usage in sections 26.9 third édition. Libro de Sinónimos y Antónimos para Estudiantes por Elizabeth Verzariu et alia does not cover it. Google Translate did derive it from "tastes like chicken.". On to the Real academia española there It is. Saber superscript 2: intransitivo tener una cosa, especialmente un alimento, o producto su sabor determinada sensación. La salsa sabe A cebolla. As in the last case, the usage of lo suficiente, the fault is neither in the star or in the Spanish. The salsa knows the cebolla. Look That salsa tastes like onion. What tastes the onion? The salsa. Can salsa taste an onion? No! What does one do now? Find the history of the words taste and like.. Why because sabor-flavor are the same word (See Grimms Law). Gustar Is latín and used in English (with gustó he chugged down the Papás Blue Ribion Béer. Taste will be the problème due to the 1066 Norman Conquest I guess.😮. Let us prove the guess true or false. (Always guess because of the keys lost in the dark are easly found near the lamp post.). Thé guess is when it comes to like. Like Old English from 1300 as an Equal....similar. ohhh Similar is Latinic Spanish... Farmácia Similarités. Ok. Let's see about taste. There it is thé 1066 Norman Conquest Bingo! See taste in etymonline.com. Now let us complete the English. "Tô me that frog leg tastes like chicken.". Now we translate knowing there are no verbal objects and preposicións missing. Esa anca de rana me sabe a pollo. (The Spanish now transfers the sensation of taste to the object me) Next? Walk outside and play the translation to a Mexicano. Esperame por favor? I asked which do you think is better este anca de rana tiene el sabor de pollo o esa anca de rana me sabe a pollo? She said the second was to her taste. That is how one investigates a word, a phrase, and an idiom. Be like Ronnie Ray Gun trust but verify. Are both words in play in the attachéd vidéo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gd-odsRmmc6yaYU.html.
