The 'Именно' Power

Use 'именно' when you want to sound like an expert. It adds a layer of precision that simple sentences lack.

💡

The 'And' Rule

When repeating verbs to show duration, adding 'и' (and) or 'та' (so) after the second verb makes it sound much more native. E.g., 'Мисли, мисли, та измисли.'

Preguntas frecuentes (6)
