Answer 2

HI web, segurar does not exist. geeeeez, I just found this:

segurar. (De seguro).

1. tr. desus. asegurar.

WEll, it is in "desuso". puffffffff, jeje

Normally we do not include the person here, mostly it is understood that we want to say:

Es seguro que.......

Thanks for informing it is in disuse, the SpanishDict dictionary did not indicate that. - webdunce, SEP 9, 2009

jeje, I had no idea it even existed! Never used...I wonder if in other countries, certainly not in Spain. - 00494d19, SEP 9, 2009

Answer 3

Heidi,

Are you saying that typically one leaves off the "Es" in "Es seguro que?" If so, I understand. Here in the US, we typically leave out the "are" when asking short questions.

• Example:
• We typically say, "You going to the store?"
• To be correct, we should say "Are you going to the store?"

yes, web, that would be similar I guess :) - 00494d19, SEP 9, 2009

Answer 4

Actually, I wonder, if in this case, it means "I am sure that" (i.e., 1st person conjugation of segurar)

"I am sure that they show many traditional dances."

Otherwise, the sentence has no main clause. But then, it may not be the full sentence.
