<p style="text-align: justify;">In this Advanced Spanish lesson we will look at Spanish prefixes and suffixes (Prefijos y sufijos) of Latin and Greek origin such as BIO-, DEMO-, -MANCIA, and -ITIS. There are two Spanish lessons in total on this topic, this is the first lesson in the series.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of a word to create a word with a different meaning and Suffixes are word parts added to the end words to change their meaning. It is really useful to get a feel for how Spanish prefixes and suffixes work in order to be able to start predicting the meaning of Spanish words that you meet for the first time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope very much that you are enjoying this FREE Advanced Spanish Course. This is lesson 31 so far. <a href="http://www.thespanishblog.com/spanish-courses/advanced-spanish-course/" target="_blank">Please click here to catch up on all the other lessons.</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In this Advanced Spanish lesson we will look more at the Spanish word &#8220;Se&#8221; and see how it is used with sentences such as “Se buscan personas” and “Se busca a personas”. There are three Spanish lessons in total on this topic, this is the third and final lesson in the series.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Spanish word &#8220;Se&#8221; is a tiny little word that you will hear all the time in Spanish conversation. It has many uses and is a word that many Spanish students struggle to properly master. Here I aim to clear up all of your doubts regarding &#8220;Se&#8221; and get you using it correctly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the previous video lessons on this topic we looked at &#8220;Las oraciones de pasiva refleja&#8221; and &#8220;Las oraciones impersonales&#8221; and I explained the crucial differences between the two. In this lesson we will look at exactly how to use the verb in the third person singular or plural.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I hope very much that you are enjoying this FREE Advanced Spanish Course. This is lesson 30 so far. <a href="http://www.thespanishblog.com/spanish-courses/advanced-spanish-course/" target="_blank">Please click here to catch up on all the other lessons.</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Lesson notes:</strong></p>
<p>Si tienes dudas sobre cuándo utilizar el verbo en 3ª persona singular o plural. Escucha lo siguiente:</p>
<p>•	Si el elemento nominal sobre el que recae la acción verbal expresa cosa, debe emplearse la construcción de pasiva refleja (Se venden coches); por tanto, el verbo debe ir en plural si el elemento nominal es plural.</p>
<p>•	Si el elemento nominal expresa persona se emplea también la construcción de pasiva refleja si la persona es indeterminada. Esto se suele utilizar en anuncios (Se buscan actores para la película)</p>
<p>•	Si la persona es determinada, debe emplearse la construcción impersonal; por tanto, el verbo irá en singular aunque el elemento nominal sea plural y se pondrá la preposición “a” delante de la persona: </p>
<p>Se entrevistó a los candidatos para el trabajo.</p>
<p>Se busca a quienes vieron lo que pasó.</p>

<p><strong>Lesson notes:</strong></p>
<p>Vamos a continuar explicando las diferencias entre las oraciones de pasiva refleja y las oraciones impersonales. </p>
<p>Vamos a ver ahora qué son las oraciones impersonales.</p>
<p>b) ORACIONES IMPERSONALES:</p>
<p>Se llaman así por no tener sujeto gramatical y en ellas la forma se precede siempre a un verbo en tercera persona del singular. Esta construcción puede darse en verbos sin OD (Se trabaja bien aquí) y con verbos con OD. </p>
<p>Si el OD es una persona ó personas deber llevar la preposición a (Se busca a los culpables del crimen). Y en este caso, la persona puede ser determinada o indeterminada. Lo sabemos por el artículo que va delante del nombre. </p>
<p>Por ejemplo, la persona es indeterminada si digo: “Se busca a actores”; y la persona es específica si digo: “ Se busca a los actores”. </p>

<p><strong>Lesson notes:</strong></p>
<p>Vamos a hablar sobre la palabra “Se”.  Ya que al tener varios usos diferentes se puede llegar a confusión. </p>
<p>Seguramente alguna vez os habéis preguntado cómo decir este tipo de frases: ¿“Se busca personas”, “Se buscan personas”, “Se busca a personas”, “Se buscan a personas”? ¿Cuál de estas frases es correcta? </p>
<p>Hay dos correctas: “Se busca a personas” y “Se buscan personas”. Las dos significan lo mismo pero su estructura es diferente. Para entenderlo vamos a hablar un poco sobre la palabra “Se”.</p>
<p>La palabra “Se”, aparte de como pronombre reflexivo de 3ª persona, sirve para formar dos tipos de frases, que no deben confundirse: Las oraciones de pasiva refleja y las oraciones impersonales. Estos dos tipos de frases tienen en común el hecho de no mencionar quién realiza la acción, pero no debemos confundirlas. </p>
<p>Vamos a ver lo que son las oraciones de pasiva refleja.</p>
<p>a) ORACIONES DE PASIVA REFLEJA:</p>
<p>En estas oraciones, la forma se precede a un verbo en tercera persona del singular o del plural, según sea singular o plural su sujeto gramatical. Sólo se da con verbos transitivos, es decir con verbos que tienen OD: Se vende casa de campo / Se venden casas de campo. Normalmente el sujeto de estas oraciones denota cosa, pero puede denotar también persona indeterminada, siempre Indeterminada: Se buscan profesores de inglés.</p>

<p>Ay Pena Penita Pena by Lola Flores is one of the most famous Lola Flores Songs, along with &#8220;A tu vera&#8221;, &#8220;Torbellino de colores&#8221; and &#8220;La zarzamora&#8221;. The Flores family is a Spanish national treasure and the fine tradition begun by the mother, Lola Flores, was continued by her son Antonio Flores and her two daughters Lolita Flores and Rosario Flores.</p>
<p><strong>The Spanish Lyrics:</strong></p>
<p>Si en el firmamento poder yo tuviera<br />
Esta noche negra lo mismo que un pozo<br />
Con un cuchillito de luna lunera<br />
Cortaría los hierros de tu calabozo</p>
<p>Si yo fuera reina de la luz del día, del viento y del mar<br />
Cordeles de esclava yo me ceñiría por tu libertad</p>
<p>Ay, pena, penita, pena, pena, pena de mi corazón<br />
Que me corre por las venas pena con la fuerza de un ciclón</p>
<p>Es lo mismo que un nublado de tiniebla y pedernal<br />
Es un potro desbocado que no sabe dónde va<br />
Es un desierto de arena pena es mi gloria en un penal</p>
<p>¡Ay, penal! ¡Ay, penal! ¡Ay, pena, penita, pena!</p>
<p>Yo no quiero flores, dinero, ni palmas<br />
Quiero que me dejen llorar tus pesares<br />
Y estar a tu vera, cariño del alma<br />
Bebiéndome el llanto de tus soleares</p>
<p>Me duelen los ojos de mirar sin verte, reniego de mí<br />
Que tienen la culpa de tu mala suerte mis rosas de abril</p>

<p>Here we see the song Apuesta por el amor performed live by Lola Flores and her daughter Lolita Flores. Dolores &#8220;Lolita&#8221; Flores was her first child. She went on to have two more children: rock musician, singer and actor Antonio Flores and singer and actress Rosario Flores.</p>
<p><strong>The Spanish lyrics:</strong></p>
<p>Tú<br />
Que has apostado fuerte por la vida<br />
Que has puesto el corazón en cada instante<br />
Tendrás que aconsejarme</p>
<p>Da<br />
Por cada desengaño una sonrisa<br />
Sigue poniendo el alma por delante<br />
Y, nunca te acobardes</p>
<p>Tendré que renacer cada mañana<br />
Vestirme de colores<br />
Con ilusiones nuevas</p>
<p>Y aún así, si la cosas no están claras<br />
Levanta tus canciones y niégate a las penas</p>
<p>Apuesta por el amor, amor, amor<br />
Amor, amor<br />
Porque la vida sin amor<br />
No es nada</p>
<p>Apuesta por el amor, amor, amor<br />
Amor, amor<br />
No le cortemos, por favor<br />
Las alas</p>

<p>La copla or &#8220;Copla andaluza&#8221; (&#8220;Andalusian copla&#8221;) is a genre of Spanish popular song, deriving from the poetic form of the same name which arose in the 1940s.

<p><strong>The Spanish lyrics:</strong></p>
<p>Bautizá con manzanilla y este es mi nombre de Lola<br />
He nacio pa bailaora y me llaman en Jerez la gitana emperaora<br />
Tengo la cara morena porque así lo quiso Dios<br />
Soy de Jerez de la Frontera, y esa es mi cuna flamenca tierra a la que quiero yo</p>
<p>Jerezanaaaaaaa, soy jerezana, la tierra donde nací<br />
Der mundo la más gitana, por ser la tierra gitana<br />
Ay, la cuna dónde nací, la cuna donde nací<br />
Ay, jerezana ay, ay, aaaaayyyy</p>
<p>Soy del barrio San Miguel, lo mejor del mundo entero<br />
Barrio de gracia gitana y la luz de Andalucía va en mis ojos de sultana<br />
Viva Jerez y sus mujeres, las bodegas y los toreros y viva el cante gitano<br />
Y vivan los caballos buenos, lo diré hasta morir</p>
<p>Jerezanaaaaa, soy jerezana, la tierra donde nací<br />
Der mundo la más gitana, por ser la tierra gitana<br />
Ay, la cuna dónde nací, la cuna donde nací<br />
Ay, jerezana ay, ay, aaaaayyyy</p>
<p>Por ser la tierra gitana, ay, la cuna dónde nací<br />
La cuna donde nací, ay, jerezana ay, ay, aaaaayyyy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>María Dolores “Lola” Flores Ruiz, also known as &#8220;La Faraona&#8221; (The Pharaoh), was arguably the most important Spanish singer, dancer and actress of all time. Some of her most famous songs are &#8220;A tu vera&#8221;, &#8220;Torbellino de colores&#8221;, &#8220;Ay pena penita pena&#8221; and &#8220;La zarzamora&#8221;. It might be argued that Lola Flores was not a technically perfect singer, but she more than made up for this with her unique expressiveness, gypsy passion and character. It has been said that Lola Flores was &#8220;almost a religion&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lola Flores was born in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, on 21st January 1923. Her sister, Carmen Flores, was also a very popular Spanish singer. Although she was thought to be only part gypsy, she strongly identified with the Spanish gypsy culture. She herself said that there was a remote possibility of having gypsy heritage from her grandmother, but was not certain. She became a famous dancer and singer at a very young age, performing flamenco and copla and featuring in films between 1939 and 1987. Her greatest success was in shows with Manolo Caracol, who was her artistic partner until 1951.</p>
<p>The first Lola Flores appearance on the big screen was in Martingala (1939). She then followed this with appearances in Un alto en el camino (1941), Misterio en la marisma (1943) and Una herencia en Paris (1943). Lola Flores continued making films until two years before her death in 1995. Her last films were Juana la loca&#8230;de vez en cuando (1983), Truhanes (1983), Los invitados (1986), Sevillanas (1992) and Coraje de vivir (1993). Lola Flores also starred several TV shows and began working as a television presenter in the 1990s. She presented various programmes such as El tablao de Lola on Telecinco (1992), Sabor a Lolas on Antena 3 (1992 &#8211; 1993) and Ay Lola Lolita Lola on TVE (1995). </p>
<p>In 1958 she married Antonio &#8220;El Pescaílla&#8221; González, a guitarist from Cataluña, Spain, and they had three children: singer and actress Dolores “Lolita” Flores, musician, singer and actor Antonio Flores and singer and actress Rosario Flores. Lola Flores died of breast cancer in 1995, aged 72, and was interred in the Cementerio de la Almudena in Madrid. Shortly after her death, her distraught 34-year-old son, Antonio Flores, died of a barbiturate overdose and was buried near her.</p>

<p>La Zarzamora by Lola Flores was one of her most famous songs and here we see the song sung live. Lola Flores was known as &#8220;La Faraona&#8221; and appeared in various classic Spanish films. The first film of her film appearances was in &#8220;Martingala&#8221;, in which she sang a copla. Lola Flores died of cancer in 1995 and on the day of her funeral mourners crowded Madrid&#8217;s streets waiting for the coffin to go by, singing &#8220;La Zarzamora&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>The Spanish Lyrics:</strong></p>
<p>En el café de Levante entre palmas y alegrías, cantaba la zarzamora<br />
Se lo pusieron de mote porque dicen que tenía los ojos como la mora<br />
Le hablo primero a un tratante, y olé, y luego fue de un Marques<br />
Que la lleno de brillantes, y olé, de la cabeza a los pies<br />
Decía la gente que si era de hielo, que si de los hombres se estaba burlando<br />
Hasta que una noche, con rabia de celos, a la zarzamora pillaron llorando</p>
<p>¿Que tiene la zarzamora que a todas horas llora que llora por los rincones<br />
Ella que siempre reía y presumía de que partía los corazones?<br />
De un querer hizo la prueba y un cariño conoció<br />
Que la trae y que la lleva por la calle del dolor<br />
Los flamencos del colmado la vigilan a deshora<br />
Porque se han empestillado en saber del querer desgraciado<br />
Que embrujo a la zarzamora</p>
<p>Cuando Sonaban las doce una copla de agonía lloraba la zarzamora<br />
Mas nadie daba razones ni el intríngulis sabia de aquella pena traidora<br />
Pero una noche al levante, y olé, fue a buscarla una mujer<br />
Cuando la tuvo delante, y olé, se dijeron no se que<br />
De aquello que hablaron ninguno ha sabido mas la zarzamora lo dijo llorando<br />
En una coplilla que pronto ha corrido y que ya la gente la va publicando</p>
<p>¿Que tiene la zarzamora que a todas horas llora que llora por los rincones<br />
Ella que siempre reía y presumía de que partía los corazones?<br />
Lleva anillo de casado, me vinieron a decir<br />
Pero ya lo había besado y era tarde para mí<br />
Que publiquen mi pecado y el pesar que me devora<br />
Y que todos me den de lado al saber del querer desgraciado<br />
Que embrujo a la zarzamora</p>

<p>&#8220;A tu vera&#8221; is one of the classic songs from Spanish singer, dancer and actress María Dolores &#8220;Lola&#8221; Flores Ruiz. Lola Flores was born in Jerez de la Frontera in 1923 and was one of the most famous and well loved of all Spanish singers.</p>
<p><strong>The Spanish Lyrics:</strong></p>
<p>A tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya<br />
Siempre a la verita tuya y hasta que de amor me muera<br />
Que no mirase en tus ojos que no llamase a tu puerta<br />
Que no pisase de noche las piedras de tu calleja</p>
<p>A tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya<br />
Siempre a la verita tuya y hasta que de amor me muera<br />
Mira que dicen y dicen, mira que la tarde aquella<br />
Mira que si fue y si vino, de su casa a la lamerá<br />
Y así mirando y mirando y así empezó mi sequera<br />
Y así empezó mi sequera</p>
<p>A tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya<br />
Siempre a la verita tuya y hasta que por ti me muera<br />
Que no bebiese en tu copa que no jurase en las rejas<br />
Que no mirase contigo la luna de primavera</p>
<p>A tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya<br />
Siempre a la verita tuya y hasta que por ti me muera<br />
Ya pueden clavar puñales, ya pueden cruzar tijeras<br />
Ya pueden cubrir con sal, los ladrillos de tu puerta<br />
Ayer hoy mañana y siempre, eternamente a tu vera<br />
Eternamente a tu vera</p>
<p>A tu vera, siempre a la verita tuya<br />
Siempre a la verita tuya y hasta el día en que me muera</p>
