His god has a little back nose.

It actually isn't. You can say "his dog has a little, black nose" or "his dog has a little and black nose"

Can you give me the download's link please?

@Crotalito: Lo que dice Tmember es que compró el libro impreso y que no hay links para bajarlo de la red.

CrOtALiTo, I just PM'd you.

No, it's not a rule in English that you have to have an "and" between little and black. It's common to say, "The dog has a little black nose", it is not at all common to say, "The dog has a little and black nose.

[CrOtALiTo]

Tmember. I read your message.

Angelican.

Always there's a link in the internet.

Ok I will take your advice tmember.

Hello,

This is how I see it, a ver qué dicen los demás...

El perro tiene una nariz pequeña y negra=The dog has a small and black nose

El perro tiene una nariz negra pequeña=The dog has a small, black nose

All four basicially mean the same thing. ¿En español es más común la versión con "y"? I think the version without the "and" is probably more common in English.

I hope this helps

Regards

Always "y" (in common speech). Puedes darte licencias en el lenguaje literario:

Platero es pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera, que se diría todo de algodón, que no lleva huesos.

Platero y yo (Juan Ramón Jiménez).

Thank you very much

Does anyone know if that is true in other countries as well? Because I think I have seen and heard examples where they do not use "y" like that.

Thanks

Irma's answer is right... and I dare say, universal.

[CrOtALiTo]

I have a question.

Angelica used the word Dare, but I don't know the mean of the word.
I will appreciate the the answer.

Thank you.

I dare say = me atrevo decir
I daresay = a mi parecer (creer algo) (I think this is what she meant.)

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Right. Thank you, Rusty.
I tried to say that I'm quite certain that what Irma said is true in every country. It's more formal Spanish than "regional".

[CrOtALiTo]

I dare say your examples are very useful to me.

Thank you for the support.
