Questions & Answers about Tenemos el mismo coche.
Why does mismo come before coche instead of after it?
Would mismo change if we were talking about a feminine word, like a bicycle?
Why isn't the word nosotros (we) in this sentence?
In Spanish, the ending of the verb usually tells you who is doing the action. The -emos ending in tenemos already means we have, so you do not need to include nosotros unless you want to emphasize it.
I have heard the word carro used for car. Is coche better to use here?
Since you are learning the Spanish spoken in Spain, coche is the most common and natural word for car. Words like carro and auto are widely used in Latin America, but in Spain, a carro usually means a cart or a shopping cart.
