If you know please tell me

Answer 1

To be a little more technical:

um'laut''/''mla't/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [oom-lout] Show IPA Linguistics

...esp. as so used in German. Compare dieresis.

The term "umlaut" is used mostly for German. In Spanish we call it "diéresis", and funny enough, English has the word "di(a)eresis", also to refer to the same sign, so I'd chose the latter instead.

Answer 2

Well I suppose it may...

Answer 3

I am doing good
I am doing well - sounds better.

Answer 4

(I am not sure what a word is with the "ü" If someone knows one please tell me!)

averigüe ... güero ...

I think Lazarus posted a list one time.

Those two points over the "u" tell you to pronounce the "u". In those words above, the "u" would be silent after the hard "g" if it weren't for the "ü".

To be a little more technical:

Answer 5

Hmm... I'm 95% certain that is what a college spanish profesor told me, while I was taking his class. Perhaps he was mistaken, or I remember incorrectly. My apologies, but no one else was helping at that time.

No problem. Your teacher wasn't a native Spanish speaker, was he/she'

Answer 6

¡Vale, y estoy feliz(that I am doing good)!

Answer 15

1) ¿Cómo te (informal)/ se (formal) llamas?

[del]¿Que es tu (informal)/ su (formal) nombre'[/del]

The first is more common, but actually means "How are you called'".

The first is more common, because the second one... IS WRONG! The first one should be translated as "What is your name'". The second one should be corrected as wrong, and avoided as a mistake.

The second is translated as 'What is your name'? but Ido not believe it is as commonly used.

No. The second question can hardly be translated into English, but it would be something like "What is the definition of 'your name''". The correct way to answer such a weird question would be: "The words given to me in my birth certificate".

Careful with the information you give out.
