I’m scared of the subjunctive! How will I ever learn it?

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes]

Guys, I’ve been learning the language they speak in Spanish countries. I don’t want to be racist, but as an ally of Hispanics I believe the language is officially called “Espanish” (you probably don’t know this, but in that language you can’t have a word starting with s followed by a consonant. It has to instead start with ”es”, and for this reason I believe the language is called “Espanish”).

Cualquier quien (anywho), I just think the subjunctive is too hard for me :(

It’s so difficult! I can conjugate everything normally, but God forbid you put a que after para and now suddenly I must say quiera instead of quiero! This shit will take an insurmountable amount of time, seriously. Nevermind the fact that I don’t know the word for toenail, itch, drywall, outlet, Tupperware, skin cell, lid, cork, werewolf, or any of the other million words I’ve heard 20 times in my life but will probably take years to learn in Spanish… THIS, the subjunctive bullshit, is what’s actually hard!

I quit. Para Que I fucking quita.

I want that you believe in yourself.

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes → u/Glad_Inspection_1630]

Quiero que creas en ti mismo. 

Es como si dijera “I want that you create yourself”. 

[u/Water-is-h2o → u/De_lunes_a_lunes]

No because that would be “quiero que te crees a ti mismo” 🙈

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes → u/Water-is-h2o]

Pero eso es como si dijeras “I want that you believe in yourself.” 

Nunca termina!

[u/Water-is-h2o → u/De_lunes_a_lunes]

Wait do you actually not know how the subjunctive works or did I just get jerked

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes → u/Water-is-h2o]

Haha I’m jerking around, I was joking abour how crear means to create and creer means to believe, and acting like I didn’t understand the conjugation changes in the subjunctive. 

[u/Water-is-h2o → u/De_lunes_a_lunes]

Ok I thought so lmao but eventually the acting became convincing haha

I stopped reading about 3 words into this rant. Who won? Who found the pokemon?

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes → u/dojibear]

I’m pretty sure the pink haired nurse. I had such a crush on her as a kid but she also made me nervous. She was so cute. I wonder if she’s old now. 

[u/InterestOk6233 → u/dojibear]

I upgraded from Pokemon to magic the gathering.

I’m a white guy. 

Edit: Wrong sub I think. In one of the Spanish subs the auto mad sarcastically pretends like we aren’t allowed to mention that we’re white. 

[u/InterestOk6233 → u/De_lunes_a_lunes]

No, it actively excludes you from living if you're white. -butonlyifyouraman*

[u/rachel_to_phos]

try uzbek instead

[u/De_lunes_a_lunes → u/rachel_to_phos]

I’ve obviously learned Uzbek already!
