Thanks Rusty for your answers, because I learnt something new today, I wanna say, I'm going to fall asleep, (Me voy a dormir), I didn't know as I say that, I'm going to wear my car to wash.
Now, I'm going to fall asleep, because is very later for me. |

For example: Él lleva sombrero. [NOT Él lleva un sombrero.] or Yo llevo falda. [NOT Yo llevo una falda.] Does it matter, technically? |
I've always heard the articles used, both definite and indefinite.
I just checked on the Internet to see what's common and saw that an article appears before the article of clothing more often than not. But it certainly appears to be grammatically correct either way (I see that newspaper articles from various places use both forms). |
Thanks for checking into that for me, Rusty. The software that I use made a big deal about comparing things like:
- Lleva falda. Compra una falda. - Lleva camiseta. Compra una camiseta. - Llevo abrigo. Compro un abrigo. Interesting the things that are differently acceptable in different contexts.... |
Like Rusty said, both are OK.
Usually, we try to skip it (with the verb "llevar"), but it can be used, and sometimes sound strange without it For example "llevo sombrero, llevo falda, llevo vaqueros" but you can also hear (and sounds strange without "un") "llevo unos vaqueros, llevo un modelito de Chanel, llevo un perfume muy caro, llevo un reloj de mi abuelo, lleva unos pendientes preciosos" Saludos :D |
Thanks, Sosia!
