Questions & Answers about Apoyamos a la institución para la cual usted redactó el proyecto.
Why do we use la cual here instead of just que?
In Spanish, when 'which' comes right after a preposition like para, you usually can't just use que. You need a compound relative pronoun. We use la cual here because it refers back to la institución, which is feminine singular.
Could I say para la que instead of para la cual?
I thought the 'personal a' was only for people. Why is it used here in a la institución?
You are right that the 'personal a' is usually for specific people and pets. However, it is also commonly used before organizations, companies, and institutions (like la institución), because Spanish treats them as a collective group of people.
Does redactó mean 'redacted' (censored or crossed out)?
No, this is a classic 'false friend'! In English, to 'redact' usually means to censor or obscure text. But in Spanish, the verb redactar simply means to write, draft, or compose a document.
