Questions & Answers about Me gustaría conducir ese cochazo.
What exactly does the suffix -azo add to coche here? Does it just mean the car is physically large?
While -azo is an augmentative suffix often used to indicate large size, it also strongly conveys high quality or admiration. In this context, a cochazo is a spectacular, impressive, or luxury car, rather than just a massive one.
Why use conducir instead of manejar?
Why is the demonstrative adjective ese instead of eso here?
Ese is the masculine singular demonstrative adjective, used directly before a masculine noun like cochazo. You only use eso, the neuter pronoun, when referring to an abstract idea, a situation, or an unidentified object, never right next to a noun.
Why isn't there a preposition between gustaría and conducir?
The verb gustar takes an infinitive directly without a connecting preposition. Because of how gustar works, the action of driving (conducir) is actually the grammatical subject of the sentence. It translates literally as: To drive that spectacular car would be pleasing to me.
