Questions & Answers about Es maravilloso que los socios para quienes trabajamos tengan la inversión.
Why do we use para quienes here instead of para que?
If you said para que, it would translate to "so that." To say "for whom" after a preposition when referring to people, you need a relative pronoun. Because it refers to los socios (plural), we use quienes instead of the singular quien.
Could I say para los que instead of para quienes?
Why is tengan used here instead of the regular present tense tienen?
The phrase Es maravilloso que expresses a strong emotion or value judgment. In Spanish, expressing an emotion about an action someone else is doing triggers the subjunctive mood for that action. Therefore, tienen becomes the subjunctive tengan.
If tengan is in the subjunctive, why is trabajamos in the normal indicative mood?
The verb trabajamos is just stating a factual detail to identify which partners we mean. The emotion "It is wonderful that..." applies directly to the fact that they have the investment, which is why only tengan is forced into the subjunctive.
Can socios be used for romantic partners too?
No, socio or socia refers to a business partner, associate, or a member of an organization. To talk about a romantic partner, you would use the word pareja.
