British- Británico(a)

Originally from Palestine/ Italy / Chile- de origen palestino / italiano / chileno

Not palestina?

No because the adjective is qualifying the noun "origen", which happens to be male; thus, even if we are talking about a woman, a girl or a female object, the adjective remains male:

-El doctor López es de origen colombiano.
-La doctora Torres también es de origen colombiano.

-El tiramisù es un postre de origen italiano.
-La pizza también es de origen italiano.



Capisci? Fahma?

Me alegra

erm...

Jajaja

Lol Viva

Alegrar - to make happy
the subject will be the object or event that makes one happy.
So,

It/he/she/You(formal) makes me happy: me alegra
they/you(pl) make me happy: me alegran
you make me happy: me alegras


Me alegra(n) - I'm happy
Te alegra(n) - You're happy
Se alegra(n) - He, she, you (formal) is/are happy
Nos alegra(n) - We're happy
(Os alegra(n) - You (formal, plural) are happy ) - used in parts of Spain
Se alegra(n) - They, you (plural) are happy

Ok? ¿Entiendes?

Oi, I'm gonna get jealous! I'm in your time zone

Haha, sorry, I didn't realise u hadn't understood "me alegra"

Anyway... I'm getting off topic and I'd better make a move soon anyway, so see ya later

You're in my time zone AND you're an early riser, so you have nothing to be jealous about, you're always there for me when I need you no long delays

Hey, if you're gonna go off-topic, ¡en español por fav!

No es fair! Mi español es pobre

ok I'm back, viva what composition are you talking about?

I have to write about me and my family remember? But Im working on this fermentation design case study now, ill start spanish soon!

crap :@ sorry for that I'm so pissed off

I was writing the next lesson for viva and suddenly pressed ctrl + alt + e to get the é and the damn forum just reloaded and I lost everything and I was been writing that since 26 minutes ago and it's really frustrating.

well I will do it again tomorrow so wait for it this is a large lesson and kinda hard I was having problems to conjugate the verbs in vosotros form since I'm not from spanish I'm more used to ustedes form.
