FULL TRANSCRIPT
so we we're looking at adverbs and how
they work when we are changing them for
the different people let's make a recap
how would you say to
contaminate contamin good so how would
you say it's
contaminating contamina good so our key
vow for adverbs is a that's our key vow
we ar a n to get you guys or they
contaminate so how would that be
contaminan contaminan good and we add an
S to the heate form to get the U
informal so you informal contaminate
would
be contamin contamin good now for a ear
verbs for a ear verbs their key sound is
a for this closed group of historic
verbs their key sound is e so what do
you think then the means vendor what do
you think that
means does it have anything to do with
vent and ventilation no it's not a t
it's a d it's a v a vending vending
machine yeah yeah good so what does it
mean then vender what does the vending
machine
do it's a selling machine or you might
have heard street vendor as well so I
sell or I'm
selling vento Vendo I'm selling
it lendo lendo good is there any
anywhere else you can put that law do
you have the option here well we can put
it at the end if it's in its uh vender
State exactly so no we can't put it
anywhere else it has to go there lendo
how would you say I'm selling
them lendas it's very important when
you're making last oh sorry it's very
important when you're building the
sentence that you take your time to
understand who's doing what H so I sell
it's me doing the selling so I'm selling
them the first bit you want to work out
is I'm selling what's
that Vendo good and then you want to
work out them I sell is Vendo I sell
them
is Los vendor L vendor good so this
process of dividing it into two thoughts
just doing that is going to make sure
that you don't kind of get this salad
many times you will just switch them and
you want to say she has them but you
will say they have her you know so it's
very important to take your time to
think about those bit separately if you
talking about feminine things like I
sell their houses how would it be so
still them we're going to say but we
mean feminine things I sell
them Vendo very good L Vendo if you want
to say actually I sell or I'm selling
the houses the word for the we said it
was La laa also becomes plural L yes and
the word Kasa also becomes
plural so I'm selling the
houses yeah I'm selling the houses vend
lasas or I'm selling them and you mean
the
houses Las Vendo Las Vendo good the
reason why we're looking at this with
objects is because many people when they
learning Spanish they remember to change
gender for people but they kind of put
all things in with law and loss and we
kind of want to get out of that habit
before it starts so we imagine the
houses we refer to them as L is there a
rule for which um objects are female and
which are not well remember it's not
strictly the object that has the gender
but the word the noun in itself so
feminine words end in a words that end
in a with a few exceptions are feminine
words so Kasa is feminine laa and it
takes La then there are other feminine
endings so yon is a feminine ending the
administr is administ all of these words
are going to be La the opinion
is opinion opinion the
association good the
celebration good if a word ends in it in
English it's going to bead in Spanish
most of the time this adad is a feminine
ending as well so that shows us that all
of these words are feminine words so for
example you have diversity you change
that it
to div good divers the
diversity La divers good the
nationality the same happens with the sh
that it becomes like an or or in most of
Spain you could hear either the
creativity very well pronounced you
thought of the vowels very well
lativ the
electricity electric La electric these
words are very nice as well for guessing
other words because if you have this
rule electricity becomes Electric
you can assume that electric is probably
the same in Spanish as well just
sounding more Spanish or having a small
change even though there's no rule for
that you can assume it so how do you
think you would say
electric electric it sound Spanish
enough yet electrico yeah yeah electrico
electrical
electrico how would you say
generosity very
good how do you think you would say
generous have a play with
it have a play with it and see what sits
nice
yesos for males for females what do you
think it would
become exactly how La becomes Lao
becomes also can become plural as well
if we're talking about more than one
person male or mixed group how would it
soundos good and if I was just speaking
about female
very good
Community good the
community laun La commun feminine word
feminine ending how do you think you
would say common common comes from
Community by
way
saido so there's no way to know thato
or common with the accent on the end so
there's no way to know that regular
there's no rule here so there's no
irregularity
so maybe you would take commun and
somebody would give you that feedback of
commun and then you would realize but if
you didn't take that guess you wouldn't
get the word we will learn a lot of
vocabulary very quickly this way how
would you say
opportunity opportun opportun how do you
think you would say opportune opportune
you know we use this word in English
like timely or convenient
opportune opportun opportuno opportun if
you were talking about a feminine
oppa
Clarity clar clar and clear comes from
Clarity so you can look at CL then you
could probably guess how to say
clear clar but look at the Spanish word
clad clo and thead is the ending isn't
it oh yes CL yes CL ah so this isn't
have a good skill when you're guessing
you want to get rid of the ending this
ending that is what's making it a noun
La CL
claro and claro is used a lot
conversationally have the meaning clear
as an adjective it can also be used like
of course clar CL clar you will hear
this a lot in conversation to show
agreement or understanding of what
you've said
CL
personality personal personal so we can
assume that person is probably the same
in Spanish as well when I say the same
similar so again it's guessing it could
be exactly so what do you think it
sounds like you you will developing
intuition especially through listening
this is why listening is important as
well because this is what will really
develop your intuition because you might
have heard it before and not realize it
I've heard of persona so I'm guessing
it's persona it's Persona oh persona
it's persona it's a feminine word so
remember it's the word that's feminine
or masculine not the thing so I I'm a
Persona even though I'm a man the word
is feminine not me sincerity
sin siner
sincere Sin siner Sin
siner so that's another example of a
feminine ending if it ends it's a
feminine ending all of these words
without exception are La if it ends on
that's a feminine ending all of these
words without exception go with LA back
to vender how was I
Sello I want to sell
good I want to
salute where else could we put
that good the verbs use as their
principal
sound so whilst our verbs use the
principal sound a and we got organ and
then organ for what does that mean
organ he she or it
or you formal good so organ is a
principal sound organ means when we add
an N what does it
mean they they organize or you you
plural you plural so we add the end and
we get they and you guys Oran we add the
yes and we get you inform
orgas so a is a key sound for our verbs
and for verbs a key sound is e so to get
he she it and we will take off our
ending and put on E he sells she sells
it sells you form
sell vend vend how would you say he
sells it or she sells
it loende good loende loende we said
that the word for something was alo alo
so you can say he's selling something
she's selling something you're selling
something
thing V Alo good vend Alo good what do
you think we would add on to vend to get
the they form or the plural
form V so we're doing actually the same
so we have a key vow sound which is e
but then the rest we're doing the same
what we did with the adverbs V then they
they not
selling no they're not selling
it no
why aren't they selling
it
good why aren't they selling it to me
you just say why aren't they selling me
it you put the personal one me first the
one that refers to the person it goes
first you just say why aren't they
selling me it so they are selling how is
they are
selling venden venden they are selling
it l venden good they are selling me it
so they come together and the personal
one comes
first me so El we have this complicated
stuff happen in English they say it to
me no in Spanish we're just going to
identify it's it and it's me me as a
personal one so it's going to come
first then they're selling it to me
they're not selling it to me or they
don't sell it to
me why don't they sell it to me
very good the word for us is NOS NOS the
word for us so how would you say uh they
are selling us something so something
you know Alo is not one of these little
words like me no it's going to come
afterwards so they are selling us
something
no very good NOS
V but if in instead of saying they're
selling us something and you just wanted
to say they're selling us it they're
selling it to us they're selling us it
how would it
be
NOS ven good NOS ven good so there you
have an ass you have an it you have a
they it could be like hugely complicated
no if you just took that all as a
package and tried to translate it by
thinking about the verb first then
you're thinking about the other bits you
need to put then you get the sentence
that you want confid them that you have
the sentence that you want how would you
say they're not selling it to
us
no good no no why don't they sell it to
us
good very good
