Questions & Answers about Es aquí donde pruebo este perfume floral.
Why use Es aquí donde instead of just saying Pruebo este perfume aquí?
Could I say Es aquí que pruebo instead of Es aquí donde pruebo?
Yes, using que in this emphasis structure (Es aquí que...) is also common and perfectly acceptable in everyday Spanish, though donde is slightly more precise because it refers directly to a location.
The translation says 'I test', but doesn't probar usually mean 'to try' or 'to taste'?
Yes, probar is a very versatile verb. It means 'to taste' with food, 'to try on' with clothes, and 'to test' or 'to try out' with physical objects like a perfume or a machine. If you wanted to express attempting an action, you would use intentar or tratar de instead.
Since perfume ends in an 'e', how do we know to use the masculine este instead of esta?
