Question

Verbos como Parecer , Conocer y mucho mas .

Yo forma - Parezco ?

Por Que? No debe ser "Parezo" sino que "parezco" para mantener el sonido del "Parecer menos de er(Parec)".

Answer 1

I once had a Spanish teacher who finally got tired of one particular student always asking him, "Why?". One day he said, "This is a language! There is no 'Why'! That's just the way they say it!".

I'm afraid this is one of those cases. There is a class of verbs that end with -cer, and they change to -zco in the first person present tense. There's really no reason. They just do.

Just like we say "I'm on the bus" but "I'm in my car"...no rhyme or reason. - --Mariana--, Jul 23, 2010

I'm an english teacher and I always get this question: "Why?". Sometimes, we need to accept a language the way it is, everything can't really be explained! - maria_k, Jul 23, 2010

Answer 2

El verbo parecer es un verbo irregular, por lo menos: en la primera persona (parezco) como nacer,(nazco) conocer (conozco) y otros verbos similar.

No puedo recordar porque este verbo y otros como nacer no toman la teminación regular. Quizás Qfreed, Gekkosan , Samdie o una otra persona pueden explicarla para ti.

explicarla (la = la razón)
