Bueno, Entonces... Quiz 19

With over 12 million people, Bueno Aires can accurately be described as "Muy Grande" (very big).

You would not use:
Bastante (pretty big), Menos (less), Poco (little), Muy Poco (very little).

"Mi barrio es ruidoso siempre." because it is a permanent quality, so "SER" is used instead of "ESTAR" (the latter used for temporary things).

Canada está en el Norte (Canada is in the north). ESTAR is used because it is describing the LOCATION of a place.

The sentence should read:

Ella es una persona simpática "e" inteligente
(She is a nice and intelligent person).

The reason is if the second word (inteligente) starts with the /I/ sound, then "y" (and) becomes "e". Otherwise it is too difficult to say.

The sentence should read:
La cuidad tiene muchos habitantes.
(The city has many inhabitants.)

The verb TENER ('to have' conjugated into 3rd person singular ->tiene) should be used rather than SER or ESTAR, because it POSSESSES the people, it ISN'T the people!

The sentence should read:

Tú estás siendo juguetono.
(You are being/behaving playful).

You should use the verb ESTAR (conjugated into the second person singular -> estás) because it is a temporary action, rather than a permanent quality.

Also, ESTAR always comes before the Gerund (Verbs that end in -ing in English and -iendo/-ando in Spanish), in this case "Siendo".

The sentence should read:
¿Dónde "es" la fiesta?
(Where is the party?)

This is a little tricky, because you usually learn that ESTAR is always used for locations, however it is only for solid, tangible locations. (So you have to be able to touch it).

For intangible locations (like parties and events) you should use SER (and conjugate it into the third person singular -> es).

Lobos Marinos directly translates to "Sea Wolves" but the term is used to describe the animal "Sea Lion" (as we refer to it in English).

The sentence should be:
¿Está en el este "u" oeste?
(Is it in the east or the west?)

The reason is if the second word (oeste) starts with "O" then 'o' (or) becomes 'u'. Otherwise it is too difficult to say.

Cairo, Egypt is famously next to the El Río (the River) Nile... Yeah, you've heard of it!
