Answer 9

It's a little confusing to me

Answer 10

Buen is "good" for masculine nouns, but you put it before the noun (Es un buen dia). However, you can put bueno after singular masculine nouns (Es un dia bueno). These sentences basically mean the same thing.

However, in some situations, the use of buen/bueno changes the meaning of the sentence. For example "Es un buen escritor means" "He is a good writer", but "un escritor bueno" means something like "He is a nice writer" - almost as if saying "he's a writer who is a nice person".

Answer 11

How am I ever going to keep all this straight )) Como se dice "Thanks for your help" en español'

Answer 12

My best advice when you are first learning spanish is to not try to keep it all straight. It's just too stressful and makes you too trepidacious. People are going to understand the jist of what you are trying to say. If I don't speak english and I say "You are very handsome a woman", chances are you'll understand me even though the grammar is wrong. Meanwhile it's more important that you practice your Spanish and build confidence. The best way to learn it to make mistakes and not be afraid to be corrected. Then you can work out the details as you go!

Answer 13

Tenga (formal) and ten (informal) are commands (but in a nice way!). Tiene is present tense in this case would mean "He/She is having a good day" or literally "He/She has a good day".

Answer 14

you can say "encantada"

Answer 15

Encantada is... "pleased to meet you"
