Certified English to Spanish and Spanish to English Translation Services by Native Spanish Translator from a Spanish Translation Company in Toronto, Vancouver, Canada

Spanish is a world language with almost 500 million native speakers, being the official language of 21 countries. Spanish is the world’s second most spoken language after Mandarin Chinese, the third most used on the internet after English and Russian.

To give an example, in Castillan Spanish “car” would be “coche”, however, for Latin Americans it is “auto” or “carro”.

Similarly, “computer” in Spain is referred to as “ordenador” while in South America the Spanish word is “computadora”, and there are countless other terms characterized by such disparities.

Things you must consider before getting Spanish translations

A term or expression typical in one country does not necessarily have the same meaning in another and might sometimes even lead to misunderstandings, which becomes especially evident when comparing different common terms used in Castilian Spanish and Latin American Spanish.

At this point, it is crucial to choose a Spanish translation company with the experience and the know-how in this matter who can cater to your individual requirements. Although all Spanish speakers are generally able to easily communicate with one another, the vocabulary and expressions belonging to their respective cultures vary considerably.

Most Spanish speakers reside in America. Of all countries with a majority of Spanish speakers, only Spain and Equatorial Guinea lie outside the Americas, and there are several different varieties of Spanish.

That is, with content translated into Spanish, one could reach an important new Hispanic audience and open up new possibilities on a large scale – not only in Europe’s Spain but also in Latin-American countries of economic significance like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia.

Spanish grammar and sentence structure

Spanish is a Romance language with a relatively flexible word order. Its grammar and sentence structure are influenced by subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, but various elements can be rearranged to emphasize different parts of a sentence. Here are some key points regarding Spanish grammar and sentence structure:

Noun-Adjective Agreement:

• Adjectives must agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the nouns they modify.
• For example: “el coche rojo” (the red car) and “las flores rojas” (the red flowers).

Definite and Indefinite Articles:

• “El” and “la” are the definite articles for “the” in singular masculine and feminine, respectively.
• “Los” and “las” are the definite articles for “the” in plural.
• “Un” and “una” are the indefinite articles for “a” or “an” in singular masculine and feminine, respectively.
• “Unos” and “unas” are the indefinite articles for “some” in plural.

Subject-Verb Agreement:

• Verbs must agree with their subjects in person and number.
• For example: “Yo hablo” (I speak) and “Ellos hablan” (They speak).

Verb Conjugation:

• Spanish verbs are conjugated for different tenses and moods, such as present, past, future, and subjunctive.
• Regular verbs follow patterns, while irregular verbs have unique conjugations.

Pronoun Usage:

• Subject pronouns (yo, tú, él, ella, nosotros, vosotros, ellos, ellas) are often omitted because the verb endings provide sufficient information about the subject.
• Pronouns are used for emphasis or clarification.
• Example: “Yo quiero café” (I want coffee), but “Quiero café” (I want coffee).

Word Order:

• The basic word order is subject-verb-object (SVO), but Spanish allows for more flexibility due to its inflected endings.
• Sentences can be structured in various ways, and elements can be moved for emphasis.
• Example: “Juan come una manzana” (Juan eats an apple) can be rearranged as “Una manzana la come Juan” to emphasize the apple.

Prepositions:

• Spanish uses prepositions like “a” (to), “de” (of, from), “en” (in, on), and many more to indicate relationships between words and phrases.

Negation:

• To form negative sentences, “no” is typically placed before the verb.
• Example: “No quiero ir” (I don’t want to go).

Interrogative Sentences:

• Questions are formed by inverting the subject and verb or by using question words (e.g., ¿qué? – what, ¿dónde? – where).
• Example: “¿Tú hablas español?” (Do you speak Spanish?) or “¿Qué haces?” (What are you doing?).

Subordinate Clauses:

• Spanish often uses the subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses to express doubt, desire, or uncertainty.
• Example: “Espero que él venga” (I hope he comes).

Ser vs. Estar:

• Spanish has two verbs for “to be”: “ser” and “estar.” “Ser” is used for essential or permanent characteristics, while “estar” is used for temporary states or locations.
• Example: “La manzana es roja” (The apple is red) and “Estoy cansado” (I am tired).

Remember that Spanish sentence structure can be quite flexible, but these guidelines provide a foundation for understanding and constructing sentences in the language.
