Hey, user. I tried to phonepost earlier to your post but it said I was banned. Anyway, here's my reply: >how so? what do they look like? Look up basque people. People from La Rioja will sometimes have slightly similar faces to Basque people. >why? how different is Castilian culture from Spanish culture? Castile is the biggest nation in Spain, with or without Andalusia. See the map for reference, it has lost territories and has been split so Castilians don't hold as much power. Certain regions, such as La Mancha, have been given an upper hand (despite it being underdeveloped). People now think that Manchegos are not Castilian, since Leonese are not Castilian. Castile and León, sure two different nations. Castile-La Mancha (notice the hyphen, no conjunction) means that all Manchegos are Castilian, but not all Castilians are Manchegos, people fail to realize this. Castile carried Spain on its back, the fact that most of it is a desolate steppe now is because we grew all the cereal, had a monopoly over sheep farming, and continued to deforest our lands to build ships. All of that was to be forgotten by Spain. I can understand Basques or Catalans for >muh language, but what Castilians have been through is preposterous.

Mi abuela me dijo que su madre le dijo, "La bolsa está buena cuando Cataluña sueña".
What Italians used to say about Barcelona. "Barcelona és bona si la bossa sona". Sonar, not soñar, but I might also be wrong.

>El presidente del Partido Conservador, Oliver Dowden, ha enviado una carta en la madrugada de este viernes a Johnson en la que anunciaba su dimisión, para intentar realizar un control de daños del golpe electoral. Can anyone tell me why is it 'anunciaba' instead of 'anunció'? It doesn't look like a case of being interrupted and it isn't a habitual action either.
Jayden Phillips
Thanks. Wrong Old Challenge too by the looks of things. I just searched /lang/ and History crapped that put. >(¿)Cataluña está buena cuando la bolsa está llena(?) Maybe it's the other way around - it's been a long time since I last heard it. Queda en paz.
Dylan Jones
If it was just one sentence saying "I resign", perhaps 'anunció', but if he wrote a long discourse on said resignation, I would presume that 'anunciaba' is more fitting.
Aiden Harris
Something like that, yeah. Something the Italian merchants use to say when they sold their goods there. I believe it is now used to point out how expensive living in the city can be. I'm going to look through the RAE grammar manual for an answer, for now, let's just say it's the most natural construction. However, I don't think 'anunció' sounds too bad.
Henry Reyes
My grandmother referred to it during the relatively recent unrest there. 'Catalonia is (politically) stable when it is well-off' (or the other way around).
Yo confieso ante-el Señor, Dios todopoderoso Y ante mis hermanos, Que he pecado mucho De pensar, palabra, obra y omisión. Por mi culpa, por mi culpa, Y por mi gran culpa. Por eso ruego a la _ santa María Virgen Los ángeles, santos, Y a mis hermanos [Que interceden por mí ante Dios nuestro Señor]. [Amen].
Also, 'Carro' is said in México and 'Coche' is said in Spain, but is either of the two 'Equivicación' and 'Error' more or less used in either of those two countries? I've heard the latter as though of a loan word from English.
>Hispanohablantes, ¿hay algunos equivicaciones / errores de gramática en esta composición? Da igual si se suena 'de modo viejo'. There's already several mistakes in this sentence >I've heard the latter as though of a loan word from English. Yeah Latin was actually an English dialect

Algunas* de la gramática* X / Y construcciónes como en inglés no son posible? I used to use Firefox Spellcheck for Spanish, but I have since stopped doing so. >Yeah Latin was actually an English dialect It's what I've heard, not what I believe.

>Carro vs. Coche Both mean car, carro is still used in Spain for horse carriage. You can use either. Carro comes from Gallic through Latin carros>carrus, coche comes from Hungarian kocsi. As for equivocación vs. error, while they can be synonims I think they differ greatly. In my ideolect, I would use error for the noun, but I use equivocarse for the verb. The verb errar is not obsolete, but it is rare. Also, your "saviour of Spain" killed my saviour of Spain.
