Learn Spanish with TV: The Office

today we're breaking down this funny scene from the office where jim impersonates like we'll start by watching the clip with subtitles then we'll break down each section to learn key vocabulary and expressions and finally we'll watch the clip again without subtitles by then you'll see how much you've learned with this video [Music] um grades is an adjective that comes from the verb borrar to erase when something is or look boroso you can think of it as if it was halfway raised you can see it but not so clear for example if you move your camera when taking a picture and end up with an unclear image you would say la foto que do borrosa asi esta mejor asi is one of those tricky words with multiple meanings it can be translated as like this like that this way that way so how can we know what it means in this context well this entire video is on fluentu so if we click on this word we can see that in this context a c means that as in that's better or that way is better and if we use the fluency video dictionary we can check some video examples is the plural form of beta bell this is the word used for beats in mexico where most american tv shows are dubbed into spanish in a few other locations like chile and peru they also use the word beta raga but in almost every other spanish-speaking country it's actually more common to refer to this vegetable as remoulacha osos vitabellis barostar galactica loses [Music] is the reverent form of the verb susader to happen and acendo is the gerund of asar to do or to make this type of conjugation is the equivalent to the english present continuous to formulate it you need to have the correct conjugation of the verb estar plus a verb in its gerund form verbs ending in er as susadar to happen or in ir as vivir to live we'll swap their final two letters for the ending endo estoy viviendo con mi madre verbs ending in on the other hand as manejar to drive will swap their final two letters for the ending ando el esta manegando that's the rule for regular verbs however there are some irregular ones which involve others like changes but we won't cover those today dollars is one of the multiple words used in spanish to call prescription glasses it depends on the location but in most places they actually call them gafas or lentes that's why when looking for glasses on fluentu we can see these true results if you wanted to refer to sunglasses you would call them gaffas de sol or lentes de sol like they do in this video looks like recreation but be careful because the meaning is quite different if we click on this word influential it tells us that recreate actually means to recreate in the sense of creating again or imitating something jim is talking about recreating the this flash the costume he's using to look like white this flash from the verb isar which refers to the action of changing the look of someone or something to look like someone or something else this word is very different from english but lately if we click on this word influent you we can watch lots of examples of this class used in real you can watch this whole scene from the office as well as other authentic videos for an immersive language learning experience all clips influent you come with interactive subtitles that give you pronunciation tips and example sentences plus after watching you can take a personalized

indicate the result you got you'd say ase or asen un total de plus your final number for example una banana de si en calorias hugo de cincuenta calorias hacen un total de sientos incuenta calorias la macincera forma de lagos sincera forma the word mass before an adjective means most in this case the adjective is sincere sincere so mas sincera means most sincere or sincerest and this is describing a forma which means a form or a way unlike in most cases in spanish here we have the adjective cincera before the noun forma this special order is meant to give more value or importance to the noun but you don't really use it much in conversational spanish it sounds too formal in most situations and even poetic just the kind of awkward language that dwight liked to use so he was referring to the former of allago an alago is a complement of flattery and it comes from the verb allagar which basically means to praise or to show affection is probably the most elaborate way of saying things in spanish it literally translates into i thank it to you but a more natural equivalent would be i appreciate it or i'm grateful to you keep in mind there is an informal pronoun so if you want to thank someone like this but in a formal situation you would say lo agradesco miguel is the family friend cadanyo the most common way to translate kada is to the word itch but depending on the context and especially when talking about frequency it also means every so you could use it to say that ah michael finally we got que another spanish word with multiple meanings k is most commonly translated into what for example que ninotiarno but when used before an adjective that is not preceded by a noun it actually means how so if we remove the noun kit from the previous example we'd come up with quetiarno [Music] if you're enjoying learning spanish with tv shows in this next video my friend federico breaks down a very funny scene from the big bang theory over there you will learn some useful terms to keep improving your conversational spanish don't miss it out
