Albedrío - Page 2

The two "th"s you've highlighted aren't even the same as each other. One's voiced and the other isn't. But they're both fricatives, whereas d is a plosive.

Cool - thanks for that article. It will take me awhile to read it, but I will do so! :)

Good night.

The you wrote in the last post is the way correct to write it or it's another example of the that I wrote before.:)

Anyhow your post seem me very accurate, because literally it says at most the same of the I want to say before.

Really in the English there are a lot ways to say a only phrase.

And it's amazing.


Thanks.

If you read the posts previous to the one you quoted, you will understand my point. :)

Thanks for the link.

Estoy un poco confundido sobre esa forma

Dejar + a su albedrío

Dejo a tu albedrío si vemos al cine esa noche o la última noche
It´s up to you (I´m letting you decide) if we go to the movies tonight or tomorrow night.:thinking:

Las personas de la jurado habrán de dejar / dejarán a sus albedríos si el ladrón irá a la prisión.:thinking:
Muchas gracias

As I understand it, the 'a' here indicates an indirect object.

*1) Albedrío" is a serious word, so it doesn't match a trivial decision like going to the movies.

2) But you can say "dejo a tu elección si vamos al cine hoy o mañana".

3) And it's either "ver una película" or "ir al cine". "Ver el cine" is to stay outside and watch the building. :)


** The justice example needs many corrections and an explanation of a tricky issue about "albedrío":

1) "Jurado" is a masculin.

2) All collective names in Spanish are conjugated in singular:
- La gente camina en la calle.
- La policía investiga un delito.
- La familia va de vacaciones
- El jurado delibera.

3) To exert one's will is "ejercer su albedrío". "Dejar al albedrío de alguien" implies "alguien" is exerting his/her will.

One can say "el juez deja al albedrío del jurado si el ladrón va a prisión" or "el jurado ejerce su albedrío al decidir si el ladrón va a prisión", however, the last sentence suggests some kind of whim from the jury, but in a legal context, it should be understood that they decided by following the law.

¡Muchísimas gracias por el bueno consejo y explicación completo!
