Questions & Answers about Bajo el cielo azul, me gusta caminar con mi amigo.

Why is bajo used here instead of debajo de?

Bajo can mean "under" but often has a more literary or figurative nuance, as in "under the blue sky" in a poetic sense. Debajo de implies a more direct, physical sense of being underneath something (e.g., debajo de la mesa). So here, bajo is chosen for a more stylistic or poetic effect.

Why do we say el cielo azul instead of el cielo azules?

The adjective azul doesn't change with masculine or feminine nouns, only with number. Since cielo is singular, azul remains singular. If it were plural (cielos), it would become azules.

Why is it me gusta in me gusta caminar, and not yo gusto?

In Spanish, gustar literally means "to be pleasing to." So the sentence structure flips: the thing doing the pleasing (caminar) is the grammatical subject, and me is the indirect object pronoun (the person who is pleased). Hence, we say me gusta rather than yo gusto.

Can I use other verbs besides caminar to say "walk"?

Yes! You can use andar or pasear. Andar often means just "to go" or "to walk," while pasear suggests a leisurely stroll. Context will guide which verb is most appropriate.

Why is it con mi amigo instead of con mi amigos?

Because you're referring to a single friend (singular amigo). For multiple friends, you'd say con mis amigos. The pronoun mi (my) also changes to mis in plural contexts.
