Hablando de oxido en motos...

For wimmim, yes.

Es (from ser) because it's a permenent condition (unless she's Des).

 

Some UKRMer has had sexual identity issues in es.charla.moteros due to
misundertandings of colloquial Spanish, but you can still cal him Paul, not
Loretta.

 

And "to be dead" uses estar, because of religion, apparently.

The location thing applies to all objects though. So although a building
may appear permanent (to us), it's not really. Plus other objects move
more frequently.

 

Given that his Spanish is so much better than mine, I am now worried.

 

Do you want to have babies?

 

Estoy casado. Soy un casado.

 

Bugger. Should read whole thread before posting.

 

Ser and estar isn't about temporary and permanent.

HTH.

 

I don't think Domènec is from Castilla.

 

I feel I should...


.... oh, never mind.

 

Yes yes yes, I know, but it's the simplest approximation to start learning
with.

 

With whom?

 

As far as the in-laws are concerned, if you're not Catalan, Basque or
Galician, you're Castilian.

Ewwwwww. I've just brought my lunch back up.

Not really.
You might say that about the language spoken, but not about the land.

For example basques are castillian in some way.
But many other places are none of what you said, for example:
Asturias, León, Aragón, Navarra,...

 

I was being slightly facetious.

 

And he wouldn't believe the insane nationalist bickering that goes on. I
was recently in Castilla y León and on signs they had crossed out the
"Castilla" and painted slogans like "No somos Castellanos". And all that
stuff going on in Cataluña - everyone understands castellano but if you
go to court for anything and you don't speak catalán, you have to have an
interpreter. Bonkers.

 

This is regionalism, not nationalism.
That´s because León and Castilla are differente regions into one
"Comunidad Autónoma"

Is totally different of what happens in Cataluña
