자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, unlike 'quedarse', 'permanecer' is not reflexive. You say 'Yo permanezco', not 'Me permanezco'.
It's a bit formal for a dog. Usually, you would just say 'Quieto' (Stay) or 'Sentado' (Sit).
'Permanecer' is more formal and implies a longer duration or a specific rule. 'Quedarse' is casual and everyday.
You say 'permanecer sentadas'.
Yes, but 'quedarse sentado' is even more dominant in casual Latin American speech than in Spain.
Sometimes 'quedarse sentado' implies someone isn't helping, but 'permanecer sentado' is usually too formal for that insult.
Yes! You can 'permanecer callado' (stay quiet) or 'permanecer fiel' (stay faithful).
