Okay, prepositions.
What are prepositions?
I've always called them "little connector words".
You've probably also heard me say:
"Prepositions are CRAZY!"
"They can mean anything!"
"They're like wild cards!"
But now, after making three preposition videos, I've learned generally, prepositions work in Spanish, just like they do in English.
But I also stand behind all my previous statements.
Prepositions CAN BE crazy!
And not just in Spanish...
I mean, what's the difference between "sitting ON a chair" and "sitting IN a chair"?
Why do we ride "in" a car and saying "on a car" sounds silly?
But "on a bus" is okay.
"On a train" is just fine.
"On a plane" is perfectly acceptable.
But don't you dare say "ON a car".
Two videos ago, we focused on how prepositions are the same in both English and Spanish.
Well, in this video, we focus... on how they're different.

The best way to learn a language is to understand 'the basics' of your own language..what is an adjective...an adverb? Your insight for that is crazy and you teach well...your insight helps a lot 💯
I learned A LOT in this video. A very well-spent 15mins of my life 😁 Muchas gracias!
Great video....during the discussion on "buscar" and the fact that it does not need a preposition, it occurred to me that it would be helpful to think of "buscar" as the Spanish equivalent of the English word, "seek". "To Seek" is to "look for" or "search for", but it does not require a preposition. I might say "I am seeking advice" or "I seek advice", but I would not say "I am seeking FOR advice"
Al fin,, Spanish lessons from someone who can identify the difficulties native English speakers have learning the Spanish language. I was planning on making millions off of this concept, but you beat me to it. Good Job!
I'm native spanish speaker and I've learned a bit more of your language with this video :D
" I'm a native spanish..."

"so get over it" hahaha! i love this channel. cracks me up while i learn
German verbs have the preposition built into the verb (well, most of the time) which makes it easier to keep track of how to use them. For example, the verb "mitnehman" is "to take with" because "mit" means with and "nehman" means take. This is yet another time that I'm glad I chose German over Spanish in high school
the sitting "on" a car example was excellent.
Can you do a video about the word "Que" cause I get confuse "Que" means so means so many things it's mind boggling 🙄
I agree with you that the Spanish word, QUE, has a LOT OF MEANINGS. a video would help to clarify this word.
@@zoellar11 I’m good now, I’m not confused on using that word anymore. Thanks tho!
@@zoellar11 it doesn't means many thing only means 'que' but you can use it to change the meaning of the sentence. in english you use : than, as , what, how(que tan: to compare in a Question), sometimes which, that and many i can remember.
Soy mas alto que mi hermano--->I'm taller than my brother.
Es tan grande que no cabe por esa abertura---->It is so big "that" it can't get into the opening.
¿"Que" tan grande es la ballena? ---->"How" big is the whale?
Recuerdo de lo "que" (estabas hablando)/hablabas---->i remember "what" your were talking about.
que can mean that
i love your channel 100000%
That was well explained and taught! Thank you.
When will we see the prepositions boot camp??? This video was 5 years ago.... I've gone through all your premium course and I'm jonesing for more!
He's very good.
Thank you for your brilliant videos !!! Gracias por tus brillantes videos !!!!!
You're welcome, glad you like them!
Very useful Jordan! As is the list.
En el último ejemplo yo no notaría una diferencia en la connotación (positiva o negativa) al usar "disfrutar de" o "disfrutar con", mas sí una sutil diferencia en los significados. Pensemos en la situación que nos comunica esto: «Disfruto de mi padre; nos quedan pocos días juntos. Pronto partirá y conmigo sólo se quedará la tristeza que siento al no saber si nos volveremos a ver». En este dramático ejemplo, a mí me parece claro que no hay ningún matiz negativo en cuanto al significado de 'disfrutar', pero también es claro que no tiene un sentido participativo expreso; es decir, no sé qué sienta exactamente el padre, pero por la sintaxis, puedo asumir que debe ser algo muy similar al sentir del hijo. Si se cambiara la preposición y se usara 'con' en vez de 'de', la duda anterior se disiparía un poco. Entonces, me parece, que la preposición sólo indica un cambio en la semántica que no necesariamente implica que se altere fundamentalmente el significado.
Very useful video.
Thanks a lot . Am following your video from now . You are amazing man .. Love
On the PDF you use the example of probar de = to sample/try. Would you mind giving examples as every time I have seen the word prober it is without the 'de'. For example 'pruebo el pescado'.
PS: Thanks for everything you are a very special teacher.
Will I ever get this in a million years?
Thank you Jordan
Thanks, Jordan, I REALLY enjoy your videos. The videos make some murky subjects a bit more clear.
PS - Is there any rhyme or reason for a particular t-shirt? A particular word or color of shirt?

How do I access the word lists, et., to which you refer?
Can you explain the use of 'de' before an infinitive verb? For example: 'Yo no tengo tiempo de ir a tu casa.' or '¿Tienes ganas de ir de compras?'
I guess (as a native Spanish speaker) "de" is to give more followed information or explain a reason. If you say "no tengo tiempo" it's a general idea but if you want to add some information in order to explain why you must use DE "no tengo tiempo de ir a tu casa" if you speak or write without de it's still understandable but totally wrong and sounds too weird.
@@carolinaramirez3686 so de is giving emphasis? But you don't use de when you say you're going skiing. Is it just that some verbs have to be emphasized while others don't?
I'm thinking this Spanish rule is like so many in English, it's just a rule that must be followed with certain verbs but with others it doesn't and there is no real reason.
Did he change his channels name, and why?
Hi is there a video to explain why DE is sometimes used to mean To
Trato de nadar ?
This video is about that! Situation #4. We use different prepositions. When "tratar" is used for "to try" to do something (a verb) -- it uses "de" when we use "to". "Tratar de" is on the Word List for this video.
I wouldn't say "de" means "to" in that case, it's just that the structure "tratar de + infinitive" is always like that. "Trato de nadar" ="I'm trying to swim". Notice that when we use "intentar" instead, which means exactly the same, we don't use "de", "intento nadar" and the meaning doesn ' t change at all.
pienso en mi amigos does make sense. in a lot of languages about and on are the same thing(at least from my experience) and are even used interchangeably in English sometimes (my thoughts on bananas and my thoughts about bananas mean the same thing) so the en is on and then I think on my friends make some sense
itig12 it’s mis
@the Spanish dude, did the preposition bootcamp ever become a thing?
Llena de vase de aqua - sounds more like I fill the "water vase", if it's consistent with the rules of "de" - I guess when you say you fill your soup mug it's a natural assumption to say it's filled with soup?
in your example "Busco la casa" how do you know it isn't "I look at the house." ? It is a different preposition that would completely change the meaning of the sentence. Thanks in advance
Jennifer Shafer In Spanish is not possible to confuse them. When we say “buscar” the verb never implies an idea of using your eyes or even physical appearance references as the verb “look” does in English. If you say “buscar” we imagine hands moving things in order to find something that is uncovered. When you say “look for” you probably think of your eyes trying to see something that is out of reach. So “look at the house” is more like “mira la casa” or even “observa esa casa” depending on the context. The idea is clearly “put your eyes on the object I’m telling you, the house”.
gracias

The difference between in and on a chair is this.
In a chair: actually inside the chair, with arms or a back securing you in.
On a chair: actually on the chair, like the arm of a chair, with nothing securing you in.
While this still doesn't make complete sense, it's how I would teach it to a non-native trying to learn English.
The in/on a car/bus/airplane one though I'm not sure how I'd teach. Maybe just say "English is weird, you have to memorize this".
Anyways there is no way I'd excel at teaching English. Lol
The bass on this video was to much the bass from before was really good

@@daddybig7086 i personally dont notice too much bass, could be your windows settings or possibly headphones/speakers

Quiero empezar a aprender "a" hablar español. The second preposition "a" seems unnecessary.
Jahaziel Muñiz Sánchez But it's not. The sentence sounds wrong without it.
I want to start to to learn to to speak Spanish is the literal translation in English. I think maybe the "a" is to split the infinitive verbs up? Otherwise it would be "empezar aprender hablar". Maybe that's why the "to" is repeated twice between the infinitive verbs.
Edit: my comment was before watching the full video. He actually explains this.
its not really that confusing considering that police police police police police police is grammatically correct
as well as "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"
"A" means "to" in english
Para as well. Por ejemplo necesito para ducha is the most common way instead of using necesito a ducha
+Ariel Sierra Garcia no I mean I need to shower
+Ariel Sierra Garcia so I can use either para or a but para is more common to use
+Ariel Sierra Garcia oh well thanks I thought you guys did sorry. I'm still Learning myself
+Ariel Sierra Garcia no you know how us Americans might say "ugh I need to shower" that's what I'm trying to say not " I need a shower" I think the way I speak is like slang idk I just thought it'll have been "necesito para ducha" but you're Latino so you know what you're talking about 😂😂
We say sit on stool but sit in an armchair.
Good point. It's weird how learning another language makes us aware of the "it doesn't make sense" word usage in our own language.
@@Tamara-ju3lh That’s true.
The intro and outro are horriblé, I fear that noise and can't fast forward fast enough
