By November last year, the Royal Spanish Academy did quite few changes in the ortography and words. Apparently, it was high time for a change for the \u00abY\u00bb letter wich instead of keep on receiving the name of (Greek i)in spanish, now is called \u00abye\u00bb. In Argentina, this would sounds much stronger than in other places of Latin America and Spain, but its still the same letter.Now that the \u00abY\u00bb is not the greek i anymore, we will call the i, just i and not Latin \u00abi\u00bb.\u00a0 If you want to say that something or someone has become an \u00abex\u00bb it will go right next to the word, lets say \u00abexesposa\u00bb, \u00abexpresidente\u00bb,\u00bbexl\u00edder\u00bb and not ex-esposa, ex-presidente or ex-l\u00edder;if its about compound words, you can place ex in a separate way: \u00abex capit\u00e1n general\u00bb. It was the end for the CH and LL as they are not longer in the alphabet list, they technically dont belong anymore, but they are in the words calle, valle, llaves, chau, che,chusma, etc, so, in total now, the number of letters are going to be 27.<\/p>\n

The new edition was not arbitrary, clearly, after 22 academies decided to make the changes also agreed on calling the \u00abB\u00bb, \u00abbe alta o larga\u00bb,and \u00abV\u00bb, \u00abBe baja o corta\u00bb. Both letter change to the name\u00a0 \u00abBe\u00bb y \u00abuve\u00bb, in Latin America uve is usually replaced by ve corta.<\/p>\n

Probably, one of the most revolutionary changes has been the rule of not stressing the adverb \u00absolo\u00bb or th demonstrative pronouns, which is interesting because we would have to be very well aware of solo with the meaning of alone, or just or only. Fortunately, the Royal Ademy of Spanish decide not to punish anyoe if they prefer to stick to the previous use. The \u00abq\u00bb was replaced by the K as it was decided that \u00abk\u00bb is a spanish letter and because of that consideration now, words like Qatar would become \u00abCatar\u00bb or Iraq for \u00abIrak\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Next time, writing in Spanish will take a little bit more of time, but it will be fun!<\/p>\n

keep on learning Spanish!<\/p>\n
