    Since you asked for any improvements: On the phone conversations, where the spanish and english words are in a red banner - I only have time to try to read the spanish part, or the english part. It disappears too quickly to read both. I'm not sure there is an easy fix for this, because I also appreciate the rapid-fire approach to the videos. Just thought I would mention. Love the videos, very helpful - I watch one a day.

    Lo siento actually means I feel it so it can be used as I feel your pain if someone has been hurt someway or a totally different meaning if someone says they are attracted to you or something positive you can tell them that you feel it i.e. lo siento. To say your sorry that someone has passed away you need to use another saying...lo siento doesn't totally express for this situation. I hope this helps some understand what lo siento really means.

    • @reynoldgooding7626
      @reynoldgooding7626 Před 2 lety

      I have read your comment. Sentir in Spanish means both: to feel as well as to feel sorry. It is said that collocations are words which when put together may mean something different from the literal translation. In English, we refer to those expressions as colloquialisms. Because "lo siento" is so common, if someone were to tell you that he/she is attracted to the person, if the answer were to be "lo siento" the person might feel that the feeling is not reciprocated. "Pésame" means condolence, so someone could say "te doy mi pésame", but I don't know because I am still learning, and I am not a Spanish speaker.

      @@reynoldgooding7626 I was once telling a girl about my feelings for her in Colombia. She told me lo siento and I was let down but her friend who spoke English explained it to me. I have asked another guy I know there who was born in USA but grew up bilingual and said the same thing, I feel it, but of course meanings and expressions change from country to country and within countries too. But keep learning and practicing. It's a fun language and you will have fun learning and speaking it. I'm trying to learn more and improve but at my age, it's difficult.

    What country you are in makes a difference. Here in Chiriqui Panama to say perdon is admitting something deeply wrong. I've gotten corrected several times when I've used it for minor offenses like bumping into someone in the market.

    Reflexive verbs are common in Spanish, and you can't even translate them literally into English. English simply doesn't have a lexicogrammar capable of directly taking on the structure reflexive verbs take. But that's what makes them so interesting and useful! ¡A mi me gusta! Ese es algo del proceso de aprendizaje de idioma que es tan increíble, En español, tengo acceso a construcciones que no puedo hacer en inglés. En algún momento durante el aprendizaje, es necesario detener la traducciones, ¿no? Y simplemente utilizar el lenguaje por sí mismo.

    lament is a bit of an "old fashioned" word for English and would be considered a bit "dramatic" by most American English users. Sino es un "chunk" muy util en espanol. (lamento que esta computador no tenga una opcion de tildes)

    So, if your friend's mom dies you should say Perdon, and not Lo Siento?
    I believe you think people say Lo Siento for all these instances instead of the correct time. I have never taken lessons and know the difference between Perdon/Desculpa/Lamento/Fue Mi Culpa, and Lo Siento. Even if they try and translate from English, or Portuguese (the two languages I speak fluently), they wouldn't make this mistake that often, or at all, I don't think. It just doesn't seem plausible.
    But thanks for the tips on how to use all those other "excuses" 👍

    • @rod750.
      @rod750. Před rokem

      Perdón is equal to pardon, you only use that when asking forgiveness from a fault. Lo siento, literally translates to I feel it, with that idea on mind, you use it when you FEEL sorry about something the other person is experimenting, it can be your fault or not.
      I'm sorry/Pardon me = Perdón
      Excuse me = Disculpa
      Sorry, it was my fault = Fue mi culpa
      I feel sorry = Lo siento/Lo lamento
