Questions & Answers about El bullicio de la gente es tan desesperante que me duele la cabeza.
Why do we use tan here instead of tanto?
In this lesson's structure, you use tan (so) before adjectives and adverbs. Because desesperante (infuriating) is an adjective, it takes tan. You would only use tanto (so much) before a noun, for example: tanto bullicio que (so much bustle that).
Desesperante looks like "desperate", but the translation says "infuriating". What is the difference?
Why does the sentence say la cabeza (the head) instead of mi cabeza (my head)?
In Spanish, when you talk about body parts, you use the definite article like el or la instead of possessive words like mi (my). The pronoun me earlier in the phrase already makes it perfectly clear whose head is hurting.
Why is the verb duele structured this way with the pronoun me?
