Lesson 66

Mine, Yours, and What Hurts

Language Transfer Complete Spanish is by Mihalis Eleftheriou. Listen to the original audio first; use these notes for revision.

Doler = to hurt. Works like gustar — the body part is the subject: Me duele la pierna = My leg hurts (literally "It hurts me the leg"). Spanish doesn't say "my leg" here — the me already tells you whose.

Dolor = pain. Dolor de cabeza = headache ("pain of head"). La pierna = leg. La cabeza = head.

For possession, Spanish uses de: la casa de José = José's house. La fiesta de María = Maria's party.

Solo = only / alone. Hablé contigo solo = I only spoke with you.
