Questions & Answers about Yo bailo con amigos.
Do I need to include "Yo" at the start of the sentence, or can I just say "Bailo con amigos"?
In Spanish, it's completely acceptable to omit the subject pronoun "yo", because the verb ending ("-o") already indicates who is speaking. Saying "Bailo con amigos" is correct. However, including "Yo" can add emphasis or clarity.
Why is it "bailo" and not "baila"?
"Bailo" is the first-person singular present tense form (yo bailo) meaning "I dance." "Baila" corresponds to the third-person singular present tense (él/ella/usted baila) meaning "he/she/you dance(s)."
Why is it "con amigos" and not "con mis amigos"?
"Con amigos" can imply "with friends" in a general sense, whereas "con mis amigos" specifically means "with my friends." In Spanish, you can use either depending on whether you're talking about your own friends specifically or just any group of friends in context.
Is "amigos" referring to both male and female friends here?
Yes, in Spanish, "amigos" can be used to refer to a mixed group of friends or just male friends. If you were talking only about female friends, you would say "amigas." For a mixed group or when referring to friends in general without specifying gender, "amigos" is the norm.
