Questions & Answers about ¿Admiten todos los estilos, excepto ese?
How does excepto work here, and could I use salvo or menos instead?
Why is it ese and not the neutral eso?
Ese is a demonstrative pronoun standing in for a specific noun we just mentioned: el estilo (the style), which is a masculine word. If you used the neutral eso, it would mean 'except that thing' or 'except that situation', rather than 'except that specific style'.
Shouldn't ese have an accent mark if it means 'that one'?
You might see it written as ése in older texts to show it is a pronoun rather than an adjective. However, the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) updated their rules and no longer recommends using an accent mark on demonstrative pronouns like ese, este, or aquel.
Why is there a los in todos los estilos when English just says 'all styles'?
In Spanish, when you use todo or todos to mean 'all of' a specific category, you almost always need to include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). So 'all styles' translates to todos los estilos (literally 'all the styles').
