Hello! Hello! Hi! Hello! Uh, light-beats Spanish. This is podcast number 33 for early intermediate. And today we're talking about something really interesting. In my opinion, it's really interesting. It's interesting to me. The difference between the verb G of R with reference to taking time and tardar about taking time as well. So that's what we're going to do today. But it'll be the first one. And yeah? It's still very good. It's been a while. It's been five minutes, seven minutes. From the previous podcast. How are you? Very good, very good. Yes, yes, yes. Let's see. With gannas, with gannas. With gannas. Yes, with many gannas I'm interested in that much. But at the end of the day, if we've spent a lot of time dreaming, Yes? At the beginning. Not at all. Not at the beginning of the videos. Well, we feel it. Because I don't. Yes. Let's try to maintain the rice. Because it's a minute and a half. And then cut the rice. Already? Already. A lot of laughter. Yes. Okay. What happens is that we're passing it well, right? It's a grammar. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. It's typical. It's typical. It's typical. It's typical. It's typical. You know a sister about grammar? Yes, but now I can't tell. No. I was thinking, a man walked into it. But no. Two peanuts. It walks into a bar. And one was a soldier. Yes. But it's not a grammar. No, no. It's a language. Okay, yes. Okay. India, yeah. Now it's your turn to help us with this. And your turn to help me with this. I love the verb Jeevar. I have to say it. Because it's so much quicker than our version that we have to learn in English. I have been here for 15 minutes. And in Spanish it's the way you want. Jeevar, 15 minutes. That's it. Yeah. That's all you have to say. Okay, let's start there. Yes. So when you want to say, I have been here for, I have worked here for, I have been married for. All of this, what this Spanish do is to say, I'm carrying X amount of time. Yes, months. It's heavy on me. Yeah. And so you just say, Jeevar, 30 years, no, it's not right now. Or sometimes you'll use it with an adjective. Yeah. So you got used to say, yes, or with the gerund. Or with the gerund, yeah. Jeevar, I've been preparing the food for an hour. Or Jeevo, una hora preparando la comida. Oh, Jeevo, una hora preparando la comida. Sí, pero de, I have been, is to, to take. Okay, so that's talking about I have been, yeah. But then there's another use of Jeevar, which is to say like, how much time it's taking you. Yeah, to take time to do some. That's, to take time to do some. That's, to take time to do some. Okay. No, Jeevarte, it's not, it's not reflexive, sorry. Jeevarte, llevarte tiempo. Something takes your time. Okay. So for example, construir este castillo de Lego me llevó media hora. Okay. So what we've got there is we've got the indirect pronoun, the furniture remover's pronoun to me. And then this it has calic. It's just like in English, took me, made it wrong. It took me, ah, yeah, took me. Because they wrote to take a little Jeevar. Correct, I never realized that. You see, does it matter how long you learn Spanish, it's, it's, it's good. I'm liking it. Okay, so it took me, it took me, it made you evolve. Uh-huh, me llevó. Yeah, it think yeah. Keeping a momentum. Yeah. Wow. Yes. Okay. See, really evolve. Alright, so that it took me. Mm-hmm. But then, but then we've got, um, tartar. Okay. Tardar. So I took. And then that is, is a different way of making descendants. Mm-hmm. Tarde, 30 minutes in construing this castillo de lego. Okay. So that verb is, there's no pronoun, just, but it doesn't work like tartar, tartar de or something. Yeah, if you, if you can, if you can be tardy, you can arrive tardy and, uh, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm running a, um, a bit tardy. It just means I'm late. Yes. So it's about time. So it's, it's about time. Yeah. And for example, I always say, the, the, the, the, the, if you arrive in that tardy, you would be tardy. Yeah. So you can make that into a verb? Yeah. So you can either say tardy or tardy though. If you want to say it, it takes me. Yeah. Yeah. Um, tardy. So that's you, you, you can do get the verb. Mm-hmm. Yes. So you said tardy, I took this time to do this or something took me this amount of time. So tardy or medium? Me, it took me, this thing took me 30 minutes. This, me, it took 30 minutes. Mm-hmm. Jotardé, I took, when you say I took. I took. I took 30 minutes, building this. Jotardé, 30 minutes, um, construyendo esto. Okay. So you can choose. And we're putting that in the last tense, but also it can be present. Oh, yes. Yes. Tardo. Normally, tardo, um, 40 minutes in preparar una tortilla. La tortilla preparar una tortilla me lleva 30 minutes, 40 minutes. Me lleva. O e tardado. E tardado. I'll take it. Me ha llevado. Me ha llevado, si. Me ha llevado. Mm-hmm. Si. So that's two options. And really that is your choice, whichever one you want to use. What do you tend to use in English? It took me. I took at least a month of time doing this. Mm-hmm. But it's the same. Same structure. Okay. Okay. So let me test you out, then. You're testing me out. In English, or in Spanish? No, I'm just a say-alonger. I'm tasting the things. I'm still a lovi. Yes. Cuanto tiempo tardas? Um, best of the day, typically. Do I respond? Do I have to translate? No, you have to respond. Oh, just to know what I'm asking you. Okay. Cuanto tiempo tardo investirme. Tardo... Envestirme... Envestirme solo ponerme la ropa. Sí. Cinco minutos. Cinco minutos. Sí. Gordon. Cuanto tiempo tardas tú? En el cuarto de baño. Por las mananas. Cuando hay personas esperando. Typicamente. Typicamente. Um, tardas tú? Díamos diez minutos. Ah. diez minutos. diez minutos. Marivar el diez minutos. Sí. Okay. Can we just talk about the prepositions that go with that? And so we've got. Tardo, and we use en. Ya? ¿Cuánto tiempo tardas en? En. Díngson. Sí, tardar. En hacer. Mm-hmm. ¿Cantan con llevarte? No. No. No preposición. So, ¿cuánto tiempo te lleva vestirte? Ah, sí, no. ¿Cuánto tiempo te lleva vestirte? V pastilme me lleva una hora. Y cuánto tiempo tardas en vestirte. Cuando tiempo tardas en vestirte. Sí. So with, ¿givarte? No preposición. With tardad en, typically. Any other preposición? ¿Cuánto tiempo tardas en? En, pasas el maar... No, tardas en. Tardad en. Okay. Well, you can do, para, maybe. No, no, I will be necesitar N typically. Okay, yeah, and that's important as well because it's not just understanding the verb, but it's understanding the preposition that typically goes with the verb as well. And in English it would be 2, won't it? It takes time to say 2 minutes, 2. Exactly. So we will say N. Yeah, N. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you for this moment. I'm not sure. It takes me. It takes me. It takes me. What's your name, Jorge? 15 years later. 15 years later. Maybe, yes. No. Maybe. I have lived 15 years. I agree. Very well. Very good. Good work. Ok, so until next time, see you. And we will see you. See you soon. Bye.
