Questions & Answers about Limpiamos la encuadernación con el bisturí y la espátula.
Could limpiamos also be translated as past tense?
Bisturí ends in a stressed vowel. How is it pluralized?
Nouns ending in a stressed -í traditionally take -es in the plural, making it bisturíes. However, in everyday Latin American Spanish, it is also very common and accepted to just add an -s, making it bisturís.
Why does the sentence say el bisturí y la espátula instead of just el bisturí y espátula?
In Spanish, when you list nouns of different genders (the masculine bisturí and the feminine espátula), you must use the definite article for each one. Even if they were the same gender, Spanish generally prefers repeating the article for each item in a list.
