And thats why I created a blog

Heyyaa
SO: It has occurred to me that blogs are SUPER interesting.
Not only that, but they're convenient, and serve as cool thought-sharing-space-bubbles~
For these reasons I have begun a blog.

MISSION STATEMENT:
los pensamientos de la rubia shall be dedicated to discoveries I make as I dive into learning Spanish and French.  Not just this, though this will be the main purpose, but I plan on posting anything else I find intriguing/amusing.

Today's Lesson--

the subjunctive in spanish vs. french: probably, it is probable

I was sitting in French skimming through the subjunctive rules and regulations in my book, when I stopped at the word  probable.  In French, probable is not to be used with the subjunctive, but rather, with the indicative. 

ie: Il est probable qu'elle a un chat. 
(It is probable that she has a cat.)

So the French use probable, and consider it to mean more than likely  and therefore use l'indicatif with it.

This hit me as confusing because for those of you learning/speaking Spanish, probablemente is coupled in the category of words to be used with subjunctive.

ie: 
Probablemente hayamos terminado a las 10.

Ps-these are ridic examples  I know, cut me some slack *blah im still learning*  jajjajajajaj

So the Spanish take probablemente as unknown, and so the subjunctive is needed.

  1. You just blew my mind with grammer.

    How to YouTube: Go to whatever video you want and copy the "Embed" code (on the right side of the screen). Go to your blog, and while making a post, click on the "html" tab and paste all that lovely code into your bid-ness. If you need more help or want to get more funky with the formatting, let me know.
