The action of composing and sending a written message.
문화적 배경
The 'Burofax' is a unique Spanish service for sending letters with legal certification of content. The 'Palacio de Correos' in Mexico City is a stunning architectural monument dedicated to the history of letters. The 'Día del Cartero' (Postman's Day) is celebrated on September 14th to honor those who deliver letters. Writing to the Three Wise Men (Reyes Magos) is more common than writing to Santa Claus in many regions.
Use the Indirect Object
Always use 'le' when writing *to* someone. 'Le escribo una carta a mi amigo' sounds much more native than 'Escribo una carta a mi amigo'.
Watch the 'B' and 'V'
In Spanish, 'b' and 'v' sound the same. 'Escribir' is always with a 'b'. Don't write 'escrivir'!
