Questions & Answers about ¿Quieres una copa de vino tinto?
Why use copa instead of vaso for "glass"?
Why is red wine called vino tinto instead of vino rojo?
When talking about wine, Spanish uses tinto (which comes from a word meaning "tinted" or "dyed dark") rather than the standard word for red, rojo. However, white wine uses the normal color word: vino blanco.
If I wanted to reply "You give it to me" using the double object pronouns from this lesson, how would I say that?
You would say Me la das. The indirect object pronoun me (to me) always goes before the direct object pronoun la (it, which replaces the feminine noun la copa). Both pronouns must go directly in front of the conjugated verb das (you give).
Why isn't there a subject pronoun like tú in this sentence?
In Spanish, the verb ending usually tells you exactly who the subject is. Because quieres can only mean "you want" in the informal form, adding tú is optional and is generally left out unless you want to add emphasis or show contrast.
