Questions & Answers about El almuerzo hoy cuesta cinco o diez pesos.
Do numbers like cinco and diez change to plural since pesos is plural?
Why does the Spanish sentence start with El almuerzo when the English translation just says 'Lunch'?
In Spanish, when you use a general concept or a meal as the subject of a sentence, you almost always need to include the definite article (el, la, los, las). So, while we just say 'Lunch today' in English, in Spanish it has to be El almuerzo hoy.
The dictionary says the verb for 'to cost' is costar. Why is it spelled cuesta here?
How is the letter z pronounced in the number diez?
In Latin American Spanish, the letter z is pronounced exactly like the English letter 's'. So, diez is pronounced like 'dyess'.
