Questions & Answers about El juego es reentretenido. Nos encanta.
What does the re- in reentretenido mean, and how is it used?
The prefix re- is a colloquial way to say "very" or "super" in many parts of Latin America (especially in places like Argentina and Uruguay). By attaching it directly to the adjective entretenido (entertaining), it intensifies the word, making it reentretenido (super entertaining). Notice that it is attached directly to the word without a space or a hyphen.
Why are there two "e"s in reentretenido, and how do I pronounce it?
Why do we use es instead of está with reentretenido?
We use es (from the verb ser) because being entertaining is a core, defining characteristic of the game. If you used está (from estar), it would imply the game is only temporarily entertaining or that its state has unexpectedly changed, which doesn't make sense for describing how a game is designed.
Why is the second sentence Nos encanta? How does that verb work?
