What is leísmo? - Qué es el leísmo?
En español, existe una construcción llamada "leísmo" que ocurre cuando se utiliza el pronombre "le" en lugar de "lo" o "la" para referirse a un complemento directo masculino o femenino. Por ejemplo, en lugar de decir "lo vi" o "la vi", algunas personas podrían decir "le vi". Este fenómeno ocurre principalmente en algunas regiones de España y se considera incorrecto en la norma estándar del español.

¿El capital o la capital? Una letra puede cambiarlo todo en español -Capital or capital? One letter can change everything in Spanish.
Una de las curiosidades más fascinantes del español es que algunos sustantivos cambian de significado según su género. No es un error, ¡es una característica del idioma! El capital = el dinero o los recursos económicos ➡️ “El capital extranjero es clave para este proyecto.” 🔸 La capital = la ciudad principal de un país o región ➡️ “Madrid es la capital de España.” 🔸 El cura = el sacerdote ➡️ “El cura dio la misa a las 11.” 🔸 La cura = el remedio o tratamiento ➡️ “Encontraron la cura para la enfermedad.” 🔸 El cometa = cuerpo celeste que viaja por el espacio ➡️ “El cometa Halley pasa cada 76 años.” 🔸 La cometa = juguete que vuela con el viento ➡️ “Los niños volaban la cometa en el parque.” 🧠 ¿Por qué es importante esto? Porque el género no siempre tiene que ver con el sexo o el tamaño: puede cambiar el significado completamente. 💡 Tip: cuando aprendas una nueva palabra, anotá el género y un ejemplo en contexto. Eso te va a ayudar a recordar su uso con precisión. One of the most fascinating curiosities of Spanish is that some nouns change their meaning depending on their gender. It’s not a mistake, it’s a feature of the language! El capital = money or economic resources ➡️ “Foreign capital is key for this project.” La capital = the main city of a country or region ➡️ “Madrid is the capital of Spain.” El cura = the priest ➡️ “The priest held mass at 11.” La cura = the remedy or treatment ➡️ “They found the cure for the disease.” El cometa = celestial body that travels through space ➡️ “Halley’s comet appears every 76 years.” La cometa = kite (a toy that flies with the wind) ➡️ “The children flew the kite in the park.” 🧠 Why is this important? Because gender does not always correlate with sex or size—it can completely change the meaning. 💡 Tip: When you learn a new word, note its gender and include a contextual example. This will help you remember its correct usage.
