Another question for you, Hernan - can you help me distinguish between "clave" and "llave"? See my previous post - is it more like the difference between a tangible object and an idea?
Thanks! |
no problem...
However, I would like to see that you write in spanish and I reply in english or spanish. I am not sure how this is taken in these forums...
Maybe, we can ask for a spanish only forum, so the people interested in spanish can expose their ideas etc...and the same thing in english. :-)
In english first:
Key, used to open a door, unlock it etc. also as a clue to a puzzle (unlock a puzzle), also Clef in music.
Llave, used in music, to open a door and also to unlock a puzzle or problem.
Clave, only to unlock a puzzle or password
I hope it helps.
And don't forget, please ask in spanish. I would like to know where you are at with spanish, because if you are half as proficient as you are in English, you should be using a Spanish-Spanish dictionary first, in order to look for definitions. If you are still stuck then you should resort to a bilingual dictionary. :-)
The same thing goes for the rest of the people. And if english is the target language, then reverse the usage of the dictionaries. ;->
