Questions & Answers about Ya no medito en el dormitorio.

How would I apply this lesson's grammar (darle por + infinitive) to say "I suddenly got the urge to meditate in the bedroom"?

You would use the structure me ha dado por (or me dio por) followed by the infinitive meditar. The sentence would become Me ha dado por meditar en el dormitorio, which perfectly captures the meaning of a sudden, somewhat arbitrary new habit or whim.

How does ya no change the meaning compared to just saying no medito?

While no medito simply means "I don't meditate", adding ya creates the phrase ya no, which translates to "no longer" or "not anymore". It highlights a change in state, emphasizing that meditating in the bedroom is something you used to do but have now stopped.

Could I use habitación instead of dormitorio in this sentence?

Absolutely. Dormitorio specifically means "bedroom" (a room built for sleeping), making it the most precise choice. However, habitación translates to "room" in a general sense, and in Spain, it is actually the most common everyday way to refer to a bedroom in a house context.
