Mar 27 - Direct/Indirect Object pronouns vs Pronouns as objects of a preposition
Are prepositions implicit in spanish, and when should you use either of the two in a sentence?
Direct object: what or whom the subject is acting on. Indirect object: to or for who.
So would it be correct to say
Rachid received it from her.
Rachid lo recibe de ella
Rachid se lo recibe (is the 'from' implicit here?)
I speak with them
Hablo con ellos or Los hablo (is the 'with' implicit here?)
Overall, are there specific cases I should use the D/IOP and when should I use the pronouns as an object of a preposition, and shouldn't, respectively?
I apologise since this topic gets asked about quite a bit, but I've only seen stuff like the prepositional pronouns are added for emphasis etc, but not whether a) they can actually replace the OP, b) whether prepositions are implicit in OPs (given context, maybe).

Mar 28 - Does Tricky = Tramposo? or not? or only sometimes?
Can someone please help me. I am finding it difficult to understand why it is that sometimes I am taught a word by one person (teacher, native Spanish speaker, born in Spain) and then when I later use it I am told that it is incorrect by another person (teacher, native Spanish speaker, born in Spain). This is not a rare occurrence and is often blamed on the difference between Spanish from Spain versus Spanish from South America. However since both people I am speaking with are Spanish I don’t believe that to be the reason. I also generally find examples of the word in use in various internet resources so I am wondering if my experiences are because;
• 1 or other of my teachers is wrong,
• My teachers are not aware of the regional differences in Spanish from one part of Spain to another and therefore assume that if it is not the way they speak then it must be something South American,
• Lots of internet resources are incorrect. (I know this to be true),
• I am not understanding the meaning of the word in the context in which I am using it. (this seems to me to be the most likely).
The example today is; “Tricky” – adjective, meaning something that traps you as it is difficult to understand and likely to mislead or deceive you. The spanish word I was told to use is “Tramposo”. But I have today been told that it is incorrect to use it in this sentence; “A mí, el cambio de hora invierno/verano es un poco tramposo.” I have compared this to the examples I have found of “tramposo” in use and I am at a loss to understand what I am doing incorrectly. Examples I have found follow;
From Spanishdict:
Separar los efectos del presupuesto en la economía de los efectos de la economía en el presupuesto es tramposo. = Separating the budget’s effects on the economy from those of the economy on the budget is tricky.
Este es un asunto tramposo. = This is a tricky business.
From Reverso Contexto:
The weather can be so tricky here. = El clima puede ser tramposo aquí.
You know, Byron, this is a tricky business. = Sabes, Byron, este es un negocio tramposo.
This is a tricky gift you've got. = Este don que tienes es tramposo.
Hold on, guys, there's a tricky bit up here. = Espérese un momento, los amigos, Hay un pedacito tramposo arriba aquí.
He's usually quite nice, but it's a bit tricky with banks. = Es buen tipo, pero es un poco tramposo con los bancos.
Well, that's kind of tricky, since I no longer have any tickets. = Bueno, eso es bastante tramposo, porque ya no tengo entradas.
It's a tricky cross-examination of a hostile witness, = Es un contrainterrogatorio tramposo, de un testigo hostil.
It's not just because it's tiny, tricky and difficult. = No ocurría por ser pequeño, tramposo y dificultoso.

Mar 28 - IR + regalarle
¡Hola! Estudio español y tengo dos preguntas sobre mis deberes. Necesito completar esta pregunta con la forma adecuada de "ir":
¿________ regalarle un libro los dos?
Uso "Vais a" porque he usado las otras formas: ¿Vais a regalarle un libro los dos? But it seems to me that any of the forms of "ir" is appropriate. I understand the first part of the question to mean "Are/Is (somebody) giving him a book?" For example, it could be "Are you (singular) giving him a book?", "Are you (plural) giving him a book?" or "Is he/she giving him a book?" Is my understanding correct?
I don't understand why the question ends with "un libro los dos". Doesn't that mean "a book the two"?
¡Gracias!

Mar 29 - gustarle vs gustar de
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre "gustarle" y "gustar de"?
"Me gusta usted""I like you", although I prefer "Me cae bien". 'Gusto de usted" me suena mal, aunque puede ser correcto.
"Me gustan los deportes." y "Gusto de los deportes." suenan casi igual a mi oído pero es más común la primera frase. O "me dan gusto los deportes."
¿O será cuestión entre personas y objetos?
"Me gusta que...." me suena mejor que "Gusto de que....".

Mar 29 - What does "que morro" mean?
I was talking to a friend in Spanish from Spain and he said he had to get up at 7 and I said I did too, then he said "que morro" I've heard this many other times with my host family from Spain. When the kids want to get out of something or are complaining usually. I tried looking it up and it just says what nose or snout, but that doesn't make sense. haha.

Mar 29 - Best vs better - question on the subtleties of mejor
What I wanted to say was "You deserve better words than I have to give." which I interpreted as "Mereces palabras mejores que tengo dar." Upon using the translator to double check my grammar it returnd "You deserve the best words I have to give.".
The difference here is somewhat subtle with the "better words" interpretation indicating a deficiency while the "best words" interpretation indicating a level of quality. Is there a nuance or subtlety I am missing that would indicate when "mejor(es)" means better and when it means best?
¡Gracias, por su ayuda!
