Más de = more of (more quantity of something) EX: "Hay más libros de los que pensaba" (There are more books than I thought!, "llegaron más libros de historia" ("llegaron más de los libros de historia) (it arrived more histoty books//not sure if it's this way in English), "Hay más de cien invitados" (There are more of 100 guests)

mejor = adjetive, it goes with que normally, so mejor que. EX: "¡Mejor que te portes bien!" (You better behave well), "Esa silla es mejor que esta" (That chair is better tahn this one). "No hay mejor estación que el verano" (There isn't better station than summer)


Exception: Es lo mejor para ti (It's better for you). Mejor así (It's better this way)

yea, it kinda reminds me of when someone who doesn't speak much of a language just puts words together and it sounds really weird, but you know what they're trying to say jaja

Like me when I write in English I would love to see the face of anyone who's reading what I wrote and wondering "What the hell is she trying to say?" hehehe

It's the first time I read/heard "non", I even didn't know that word. I looked for it in RAE and I found it. The first meaning is "no". The second meaning is for non [par]... Something new two.

Look at here, I'll send you a PM translating those meannings:

Kiss friend

Yes... Until January last year, I just knew "write in present", all the persons for me were the same (I mean: he/she/its uses do instead of does, have instead of has and so on...). And I didn't respect any structure, because I didn't know them . I guess, read at my writtens at those times were really funny ! And of course, now I know a lot more of vocabulary, so it's eassier for me now read or write (I use the dictionary few times).

At least now I can write in English by my own (good or bad) and I don't need to call somebody else for it like I was used to do last year . So... I'm getting better, but of course I'm still learning !

that's kinda how i know spanish jaja. i can do some past tense (i don't know hardly any irregular verbs though) and present. i kinda know future tense (i can't use it myself though) but that's it. conjugating verbs in spanish is such a huge pain!

Yes verbs in spanish are toooooo difficult for who comes from a not romance language !.


You should use the RAE page to know how to write a verb for a determinated persona and time. Look for the verb in "diccionario" and press the blue button "conjugar". Then you have all the tenses for that verb without the perfect forms.

www.rae.es

Let you try with one , remember the order of the persons:
Singular
Yo
Tú
El/Ella

Plural
Nosotros
Vosotros/Ustedes
Ellos/Ellas


Because there the persons aren't written
It doesn't teach you how to conjugate, but at least it shows you how the verbs are written.

Here are some verbs more, just make clik on them, there you can see the form of the perfect tenses :

how do you say "nevermind" in spanish?

I guess you could say, 'olvídalo' or something along the lines of, 'no te preocupes'. I like your new avatar by the way.
