Relative pronouns

[cmon]

Do these translations make sense?

She is the one who gave me the money.
Ella es la que me dio el dinero.

We are the ones who are leaving.
Somos los que estamos saliendo.

[Rusty]

Very well done.

Here I have other think about this.

Ella es la unica que me dio el dinero.

We are the ones who are leaving.
Somos los que estamos saliendo.

I have one doubt about this word leaving meaning saliendo with -ing, because I have understood that salir is get out.

I hope you accept my thought.

Thanks Rusty! On a scale of one to ten, how hard is it to master relative pronouns?
I'm giving it at least an 8.


Creo que to leave=to go out=to get out=salir. Más o menos.

[Rusty]

There aren't that many more to learn, and you've done well with these.

[cmon]

Yeah, but they're used in so many different ways, which makes me think too hard.
____? pero son utilizado en tan muchas maneras diferentes?, lo que hace que pienso(a)? demasiado fuerte/mucho/duro?.

Si, pero son utilizados en tantas diferentes maneras, lo cual me hace pensar/hace que piense demasiado.

Crotalito:

Leaving (to leave) también significa "salir".

I was leaving my home when the telephone rang
Estaba saliendo de mi casa (literal: dejando mi casa) cuando sonó el teléfono.

"One" en muchas ocasiones no se traduce, sino que suele referirse a un antecedente.

"She is the one who gave me the money" está bien traducido (ella es la que me dio el dinero), no puedes decir "la única que me dio el dinero", creo que en ese caso sería: "She was the only one who gave me the money" (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

Más ejemplos:

- Have you ever seen that man?
- The one with the red hat? I saw him yesterday.

- ¿Has visto alguna vez a ese hombre?
- ¿Ése del sombrero rojo? Lo vi ayer.

I hope it'll be helpful

Quizá me equivoco

Well, I looked up the term "relative pronoun" since this is something I'm not familiar with (Thanks for the thread cmon!)

I think I understand, and probably have been using them in a limited scope without knowing what they were.

Ese es el cafe que mis novia compró. - This is the cofee that my girlfriend bought. (The 'de' before the 'que' isn't necessary here, right?)

Ella es de que fue a la supermercado. - She is the one who went to the supermarket. (If I'm understanding this right, you use 'de' here since the antecedant is a person. ¿Verdad?)

[Rusty]

Use la que, Fazor:
Ella es la que fue al supermercado.
Where did you get the idea that you must use a preposition when there is a person involved?

In English you wrote "which makes me"

Now had you written"...that makes me..."

See the difference? I guess both are grammatically correct, I do not know, but both are used in both languages. right?

The website I was reading had it worded fairly confusingly. Plus "de que" was used in the first post's example that used a person.

I'm blind, I guess. I can't see the post you're referencing.

No, the problem is apparently on my end. That's why I shouldn't attempt to think prior to having my morning coffee (which was late this morning).

Disregard. I'll reset my brain and start over.

Pronouns are fine. Check your vocabulary and conjugation.

[Fazor]

Okay, since I've had coffee now (but now am suffering from Lunch Deprivation); let me try again.

Ese libro es de que leí el poema. - This book is from which I read the poem.
Ese libro es que tiene el poema. - This book is the one that has the poem.
