Questions & Answers about Quiero probar la magdalena deliciosa.
Why do we say Quiero instead of Querer?
In Spanish, Quiero is the first-person singular present tense form of the verb querer (meaning to want). Querer is the infinitive, so you use Quiero to say I want.
What does probar mean, and how is it different from intentar or tratar?
Probar usually means to taste or to try something (often food or drink). On the other hand, intentar and tratar mean to try (to do something) in a more general sense of attempting an action. Here, because you’re talking about tasting a muffin, probar is the right verb choice.
Why is it la magdalena and not el magdalena?
In Spanish, magdalena is a feminine noun, so it takes the article la. Many words ending in -a are feminine, and magdalena follows this pattern.
Could I say la deliciosa magdalena instead of la magdalena deliciosa?
