"Sin"- how to use the preposition
Hola a todos. I would like to understand how to use "sin". For example can I say like this:
"Como el día sin EL sol or should I say " como el día sin sol" ?????
Gracias

When you say anything like this you never give "la" "el" "los-las"
It's like:
A day without sun - You don't say: A day without the sun when you're saying it wasn't a sunny day. With the it would mean that the sun is gone, not that it's not sunny.
I hope you get that Good luck learning!
Here are some other sentences with the word 'sin'.
I would approach it just as you would in English: no need for the "the" unless you are speaking about a specific sun. (our sun versus Proxima Centauri). This seems to be more of a question about the use of the definite article than the use of the preposition sin.
I also think that either phrase would be easily understood.
