[edit]Hi. I'm the main contributor to this article. If anyone has any questions regarding Spanish grammar, I'd be happy to answer them, and incorporate the answer into the article. Fire away! — Chameleon 17:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
here/there
[edit]I'm not sure if this would be the appropriate page, but it would help to have a section in which aquí, acá, allí, ahí, and allá (others?) are differentiated. Thanks. Tawagoto 01:58, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

- Well, could you cheat and put it here for the time being? Tawagoto 01:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Three-degree demonstrative systems?
[edit]The original statement about 3-degree demonstrative systems being in "other Romance languages" was misleading. Italian maintains only two degrees in most dialects, and French uses a modified one-degree system. My Russian informant tells me that that Slavic language has only a two-degree system. So I wonder about the credibility of the claim for Turkish. (I do see that the Wiki article on Japanese grammar#Demonstratives shows three degrees.) These statements call for corroboration (or deletion). Kotabatubara (talk) 16:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Possessive determiners
[edit]I can't interpret the table given, or the text under it. The table includes squares for "1st-person singular masculine plural" and "1st-person plural masculine singular". What do those mean? It seems, from the statement "There is no distinction according to the number (or gender) of possessors for the third person possessives", that the intended interpretation of the table is that the column headers refer to the person and number of the possessor, while the row headers refer to the gender and number of the object(s) possessed. This should be stated somewhere.
None of the examples clarify this, because none of the examples use a singular possessor of a plural object, or a plural possessor of a singular object. The sentences using "de" are very confusing, since there is no "de" in the chart.Philgoetz (talk) 23:45, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
