Questions & Answers about Necesito tu permiso para publicar el vídeo de la orquesta.

Why is para used instead of por in this sentence?

Para expresses purpose or intention—“in order to.” Here you need permission in order to publish the video. If you used por, you’d imply a reason like “because of permission,” which doesn’t fit the idea of “permission so that I can publish.”

What’s the difference between saying tu permiso and permiso tuyo?

Both mean “your permission,” but tu permiso is far more common and concise. Permiso tuyo is grammatically correct but sounds wordier or more emphatic, as if stressing “the permission that belongs to you.”

Why is there an article el before vídeo? Can I say publicar vídeo de la orquesta?

In Spanish, definite articles (el, la) are usually required before singular, countable nouns when you refer to something specific. Here it’s the video (a known item). Omitting the article—publicar vídeo—would sound odd in most dialects.

Why does vídeo have an accent mark?

In Spanish orthography, words ending in a vowel, n or s are stressed on the next-to-last syllable. Video without an accent would be pronounced VE-de-o, but we want vi-DE-o, so we add an accent on the i (ví-DE-o).
