Talk:Spanish/Lesson 6

I have a question about the format in the vocabulary. In my opinion, the correct translation for "la manzana" (for instance) is "the applet" and not "applet". Is perfectly correct to say in Spanish "manzana". I think that if we want to use "el" or "la" with the words for make more clear the genre we should translate that like "the applet". That sounds more correct for me.

 * I think the sentence "Quiero mostrar una casa a ti." can be written as "Quiero mostrarte una casa." The first form is correct, but it sounds somewhat foolish or childish.


 * OASO (Octavio Salguero)


 * I've changed the sentence OASO, (btw. feel free to just go and edit the pages right away if you see something that is incorrect and/or stylistically bad). Thomas Strohmann

Platano and/or Banano?
Hlasso 22:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC) In some countries the words 'banano' and 'platano' are used for different fruits. Banano is very similar to platano, however, platano is bigger and requires cooking to be eaten. In several countries the green 'platano' (not reap yet) is fried to make 'Patacón'.

Articles in Spanish
Hlasso 22:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC) I agree that translating "la manzana" to "apple" is incorrect. And I think this small error can be found throughout the document. For example: "El Vocabulario" is not common in spanish, books having a vocabulary usually have that section named "Vocabulario".

I'd help modifying the pages, but I'd like to hear the main author point of view before doing so.
