January 4-5

Notes:

"de" is a word that does not translate correctly into English. It can translated roughly to mean of or from.
It has several different purposes.

1) It can show possession or ownership.
In English, we say Juan's, or Kelly's, and use an 's, in Spanish, however, they use the word de.
To say Mike's book, you would say el libro de Mike
To say Meg's car, you would say, el carro de Meg

2) It can show relationships.
Juan's friend would be el amigo de Juan
Erin's boyfriend would be el novio de Erin
Heather's mom, el madre de Heather

3) It can show type. Remember the Ch. 2 vocab?
Adventure books: los libros de aventuras
Romantic movies: las películas de amor
music from Puerto Rico: la música de Puerto Rico
Spanish Teacher: la profesora de español

4) It can mean from.
I'm from IL. Soy de IL
He's from KY. Es de KY.

When de goes in front of el it forms a special contraction called del.
If you try to say de el together it sounds like del. This how you can remember to say del.
Example: email of the boy
el correo electrónico del muchacho. (instead of saying de el muchacho (boy) you say del muchacho)
