Hace sentido porque todos sus vecinos son hispanos.
yo también entiendo mas o menos los brasileños cuando hablan y diría que hay mucha similaridades en las dos lenguas.
Poli, do you say; Hace sentido or Tiene sentido?

Yo diría el inglés o posiblemente mi inglés. Creo que por el contexto no van a creer que hablas de una persona inglesa.

  • Es el / mi inglés, que me traiciona / está traicionándome.
Pero no puedes omitir el artículo o el posesivo.

Es el inglés... You must guess the meaning by the context, as inglés can be both, Englishman and English language.
