Aviso

[CrOtALiTo]

I'm doubtfulness with the word warned.

I have understood that notice was aviso, it's also the same that warned?

Then let's examine this...

Ayer, di a mis estudiantes un aviso que va a ser un examen el próximo miércoles.

This translates to:

Yesterday, I gave notice to my student that it is going to be an examination next Wednesday.

It should have been:

Yesterday, I gave notice to my students that there will be an examination next Wednesday. (right?)

This translates to:

Ayer dí aviso a mis estudiante de que habrá un examen el próximo miércoles.

Now, like pjt33 noted you could've said this:

Ayer avisé a mis estudiante de que habrá un examen el próximo miércoles.

Yesterday, I notified/warned my students that there will be an examination next Wednesday.


Singular Present: There is = Hay
Plural Present : There are = Hay
Singular Past(whatever): There was = Hubo/Había
Plural Past(whatever): There were =Hubieron/Habían
Future (whatever) : There will be = Habrá
Conditional : There would be = Habría

Does it help?

Espero que sí.

Now, like pjt33 noted you could've said this:

Ayer avisé a mis estudiante de que habrá un examen el próximo miércoles.

Yesterday, I notified/warned my students that there will be an examination next Wednesday.<<<

I don't know that notified and warned would be interchangeable in the above sentence.

You can "dar aviso" which is to give notice or to inform someone of something but when you "advertir" you are warning someone of an action that might bring about consequences, no?

But "avisar" can be used with the meaning of "warn":

Ya te avisé de que tenías que estudiar. Ahora ya es demasiado tarde.

Probably, but it doesn't sound correct to me......

I probably would say....

Yo te advertí que tenías que estudiar. Ahora ya es demasiado tarde. (hay consequencias por no estudiar)

I am not "up to par" in grammar so I don't know if above sentence is grammatically correct or not.

[irmamar]

I'd say:

Ya te advertí de que tenías que estudiar. Ahora ya es demasiado tarde (existen consecuencias por no estudiar)

But you can see the second option (acepción?) in the RAE. This is: advertir o aconsejar. I assure you that "avisar" has the same meaning that "warning" in some cases

Es la última vez que te aviso/que te lo advierto/ que te lo digo: o te pones a estudiar o este fin de semana no sales.

Me da igual lo que hagas, yo ya te he avisado/advertido.

Interesting discussion..

In the case of this Shakira song:

Ay te aviso, te anuncio que hoy renuncio
a tus negocios sucios
ya sabes que estoy de ti vacunada
a prueba de patadas
por ti me quede como Monalisa
sin llanto y sin sonrisa
que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti...
me voy
sera mejor asi

Would 'avisar' be interpreted as 'I am warning you' or ' I am giving you notice' ?

Also can someone tell me what ' a prueba de patadas' means?
'Patada' is like a kick I think?

No hace falta entender: sólo aprender y reproducir

As far as the "así es" being "that's the way it is", I know the literal translation of it ... I didn't understand the usage.

Ah, vale. Quería decir que a pesar de que a mi me parezca forzado, hay gente que sí habla así, y no es asunto mío decirle cómo tiene que hablar su propia lengua.

Me suena marcado. "To give notice" (verbo intransitivo) es un aviso específica: que un empleado avise a su empleador que quiere renunciar (¿verbo adecuado?). Lo que sigue deja claro que no lo usas de esa forma técnica, pero preferiría decir "I notified my students that", "I warned my students that", "I gave my students advance warning that".

Me gusta esa canción, pero no sabía la letra exacta porque pongo música cuando trabajo y pocas veces lo pongo en tiempo de ocio sólo para escuchar. "Que el cielo y tu madre cuiden de ti":

La traduciría así (una traducción bastante libre):

I inform you, I announce to you
That today I quit: enough of your dirty business
You already know I'm immune to you
Kick-proof

Patada sí es kick. "A prueba de" es resistente. Por ejemplo, cristal a prueba de balas es lo que ponen para las ventanillas del coche del presidente.

Veamos, si " a prueba de agua" es waterproof y patada = kick...
