Dear Dilsia, Cindy Carrie and Kellie,
Thanks to all of you for helping me do justice to Willa Cather's writing and
to the Spanish language. Because of you I don't need to say Estoy sola in
this task.
Dilsia, when I was writing the question, I was hoping you might intercept
it, but in the mean time Kellie, Cindy and Carrie filled in nicely.
A friend who moved to Cleveland from Hungary when she was 20 was shy and
despairing of ever learning English. I set her up with soap operas and
Harlequin romances and she was speaking English, and very dramatically, in
no time. Then she noticed the National Enquirer and would let people go
ahead of her in line at the grocery while her little toddler fussed
impatiently. She'd call me while putting the groceries away to tell me in
awe about the cow with the head of a snake, the Aliens who were disguised as
McDonald's employees and the 89 year old woman who gave birth to triplets!
She speaks English fluently now and has learned not to believe everything
she reads. I learned some Hungarian cooking from her and one Hungarian word,
Vosharoni witch means shopping!
Like Cindy I applaud your readiness and ability to learn a second language.
Does sensei mean friend or teacher?
Always with love,
Lissi

Dear Lissi:
Both Kellie Hartman and Cindy R. (my sensei) are
correct.
"sala" is the living room and "sola" is being alone
in the feminine form in Spanish.
Example: First person:"I am alone" translate in my
case (I'm a girl)
"Estoy sola"
Second person: "You are alone" "Estás sola"
Third person: "She is alone" "Ella está sola"
Thanks Cindy R. for being so kind, Lissi she was the
one who encouraged me to improve my English grammar.
Every time she read my e-mails messages it was a
painful thing to do for her x-P .
And thanks to Kellie she's a sun :-) .
Best wishes
Dilsia
