Nosotros vs Yo

Question

I want to say: A lot of people and I think that the pizza is delicious.

I would say: "Mucha gente y yo creemos que la pizza es deliciosa"

But I noticed translations saying: Mucha gente y yo creo que la pizza es deliciosa.

I don't think to conjugate a verb you only use the subject before the verb. I think if it was me and a bunch of people, I would use the nosotros/we form of a verb right?

ME and a lot of people is very bad English. -- A lot of people and I - is much better. - ian-hill, Jun 1, 2016

You would never say "ME think that the pizza is delicious." but "I think ......" - ian-hill, Jun 1, 2016

True. Thank you Ian! I'll edit that - Ramonaspiker, Jun 1, 2016

It's ' mucha gente' , I mean, in general, even if this not answers the question. - annierats, Jun 1, 2016

Answer 1

Computer translations sometimes miss a compound subject. Yours look like it went with whatever was last. As Daniela says- Yo + anybody= nosotros. I don't remember where to find that link, but she did say it.

I also say it to my classes. - Daniela2041, Jun 1, 2016

That's what I thought. Thank it so much Daniela and Bosque! - Ramonaspiker, Jun 1, 2016

Answer 2

Just think of it like this:

Yo=I Nosotros/nosotras=we Another person/group of people + yo=nosotros/as Present-tense for pensar (to think) in the nosotros/as form is pensamos.

You could also use Muchas personas. Muchas personas y yo pensamos que la pizza es deliciosa.

I hope that this helps you!

This helps a lot Harris! Thank you so much! Sorry for the late response! Is there a difference between personas and gente? - Ramonaspiker, Jun 14, 2016
