    He/she told me, "son life is a double edged crystal.
    Short and hangs by a thread"


    In the English language, we have the saying "double edged sword"... not sure if this helps you at all.

    double edged sword cuts on both sides.... so no way out is good.
    Also meaning that the end comes quickly.

    Hi! .. How r u?

    Missed u

    In Spanish:::

    1-Do we use "capital letters" at the beginings of the same nouns we use capital letters with them in English (Names of ppl, places, animals, days, monthes, languages, nationalities...etc) or Spanish has another system?? Coz I always see names of languages, days, monthes..etc don't start with capital letters (e.g: Vivo en egipto, hablo árabe) Is it correct?

    2-Numbers in dates of days are said in "ordenal" or "cardinal" form?? EX: It's the fourteenth of June = Es el decimocuarto de Junio or what??

    1.- Spanish uses significantly fewer capital letters than does English. There are numerous instances where English capitalizes that Spanish does not. What Spanish does capitalize are proper names for people, places, newspapers and magazines and the first word in the titles of books, plays, movies and similar works.

    Names of the days of the week and months of the year use lower-case letters. "Hoy es martes". (Today is Tuesday.)

    Although names of countries and cities are capitalized, words derived from them are not. "Soy inglés". (I'm English.)

    Names of languages aren't capitalized. "Hablo inglés". (I speak English.) "Quiero estudiar alemán". (I want to study German.)

    2.- You should not imitate English by using forms such as "tercero de marzo" as a direct translation of "third of March." The one exception is that you may say "primero" for "first," so "January 1st" can be said as "primero de enero". In numeral form, that's 1o, or a "1" followed by superscripted "o," like 1º not a degree sign. Less commonly, the form 1ero, 2do, 3ro, etc is used. You can also stick with the regular format of "1 de enero" saying "uno de enero"

    Hola loquita por baile respecto a tu pregunta te dire que cuando empiezas a escribir cualquier cosa la primera palabra la escribes con Mayuscula como Egypto y ya la segunda palabra con minuscula pues las ciudades nombres y paises si van con Mayusculas.. y despues del punto(. ) va con mayusculas with capital letters...
    y acerca de los numeros pues yo no uso mucho los numeros cardinales yo solo digo el 1 de marzo o el dia 14 de marzo o el 24 de Enero pienso que es mas facil asi..) espero me hayas entendido adios

    Hola todos

    Soy queiro know what is the end of the verbs for the following:

    1- I am hungry
    2- She/he/it's hungry
    3- You're hungry
    4- They're hungry
    5- We're hungry

    i only know that hamborintO is for "Yo soy", but how about the rest??

    Plus, could you "por favor" tell me the meaning of "Have/own"

    1- I have
    2- You have
    3- She/he/it has
    4- They have
    5- We have

    and the last thing, why we say "estoy bien" instead of "yo soy es bien", what is the difference between the "Yo say & Estoy"?, and the same with "Ella, El", why it must be "Ella esta bien" intead of "ella es bien"??

    The language seems to be beautiful but difficult

    Thanks very much in advance
