From Lesson 261:Relative pronouns for things (el que, la que)·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about El celo con el que reparo el documento está aquí.

Why do we use el que after con here, rather than just que?
This is the main point of this lesson! When a relative pronoun comes after a preposition (like con) and refers back to a specific thing, we need to include the definite article. Since it refers back to el celo (a masculine singular noun), we use el que. Together, con el que translates to "with which".
I've seen celo used to mean "jealousy". Why does it mean "sticky tape" in this sentence?
In Spain, el celo is the everyday word for clear sticky tape (like Scotch tape or Sellotape). It comes from an old brand name. You can easily tell the difference by context. Also, when talking about jealousy, Spanish speakers almost always use the plural form (los celos).
Could I say con lo que instead of con el que?
Not in this sentence. We use the neutral lo que when referring to an abstract idea, an unknown object, or a whole situation. Because we are referring back to a specific, known masculine noun (el celo), we must match its gender and number by using el que.
Why is the verb está used here instead of es?
We use estar (which está comes from) rather than ser to talk about the physical location of things and people. Since the sentence is stating where the sticky tape is physically located right now (aquí), está is the only correct choice.
