    As a native speaker, I can say that I think we use "esto" more for like situations. For example: "no me gusta nada esto"= "I don't like this (whatever situation) at all".
    And also to emphasize a verb and not focus so much on the noun. For example: "esto no enciende"= "this is not turning on". In this situation you may be showing whatever object that is not working and the people interacting know what the object is but they are not focusing on the object but on the problem. When the noun is the protagonist, then you may say "éste" or "ésta", for example if you are in a shop and someone asks you which dress do you like, you can respond "éste me gusta", because you are choosing from a group of dresses, if in this situation you answered "esto me gusta", it would sound like a dress is an unknown object to you xD

    • @itsgiag
      @itsgiag 2 года назад +2

      You're not updated, since 2010 is wrong to use _éste, ése, aquél,_ its feminine and plural forms.
      They don't use a tilde anymore because they didn't have different meaning. And when the noun is the protagonist you just know because of the context and when speaking one emphasize the word.

    As a few others have said, this should have many more views than it has at the moment.. I have looked at 3 other videos, but this is the clearest for learners as you have not tried to overload it with extra fluff.
    P.S. I like the little excerpt of dialogue from programmes/adverts. 👍 It is good to hear the words at "Spanish-speed".... I had to play the "pero esta vez es distanta" clip about 5 times on 0.5 speed 😉

    @odettewright9996 Год назад +6

    I speak French and often use French rules to help me in Spanish. This sometimes helps, but at other times hurts since the rules may be different. In French, when you are referring to two things, one feminine, the other masculine, you would use a masculine adjective or pronoun because the rule is "le masculin l'emporte" (the masculine carries it). So, my question: if you're referring to two things in Spanish, one feminine and the other masculine, would you use the plural masculine estes to refer to both, or to both singular esta and este since it's one of each or to the plural neutral estos? I hope my question makes sense to you. I enjoy your videos and find them very helpful in my Spanish studies. Thanks in advance for an answer.

    Excellent explanation of the ‘schwa’ sound. I wasn’t aware of this term but knew I was messing up the Spanish pronunciations somehow. I will be more mindful from now on. Also if a Spanish-speaker speaks fast, I find it hard to hear the ‘e’/‘a’/ (& sometimes ‘o’) endings of words - I really have to train my ear to hear them.
