Questions & Answers about Crearemos empleo dondequiera que ustedes vivan, ya que es urgente.
Why is vivan in the subjunctive here?
We use the subjunctive after dondequiera que (wherever) because the exact location is unknown or hasn't been established yet. Since the main verb crearemos (we will create) is in the future tense, the places they might live are treated as indefinite or hypothetical.
What is the literal breakdown of dondequiera que?
It comes from combining donde (where) + quiera (a subjunctive form of querer, meaning 'might want') + que (that). Together, they form a conjunction that translates to 'wherever' or 'anywhere that'.
Why do we say crearemos empleo instead of crearemos trabajo?
While trabajo means 'work' or 'job', empleo specifically refers to 'employment' as a broader economic concept. When talking about 'job creation' on a macro scale, the standard phrase in Spanish is crear empleo.
Could I use porque instead of ya que?
Why is it es urgente with ser rather than estar? Isn't urgency temporary?
Even though an urgent situation might eventually be resolved, we use ser because we are describing the inherent nature or defining characteristic of the situation itself. To describe an event as an urgent one, we use ser.
