2) It is like tea!

Answer 12

I'd say: Es como el té

Answer 13

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

okay!!

and
3) Argentina, Paraguay, and Urugauay drink mate.

La Argentina, Paraguay y Urugauay tomar mate.

??

Answer 16

and 4) People drink mate when with family or friends at a social event.

Personas tomar mate cuando con su familia o con amigos en un evento social.

or should it be Gente tomar mate cuando con su familia o con amigos en un evento social.

?? :/

Answer 17

I'd say: En Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay beben mate.
But I don't know if you have to use: En, because in the sentence in english I will write: In Argentina, Paraguar... And there isn't "in" in your sentence...
So: En Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay beben marte or without the en

Answer 18

okay, but either will work? :) with or without the "en" ?

Answer 19

I'd say with en

Answer 20

okay :)

Answer 21

4. Las personas (or La gente) toman/beben mate cuando están con su familia o amigos en un evento social
Or without the verb to be I'd say:
Las personas (or La gente) toman/beben mate con su familia o amigos en un evento social (but without "when")

Answer 22

ok, so do i use personas? or gente?? and do i use toman?? or beben? ;/

wait so which is a better translation tho?? with or without the "estan" ?

Answer 23

Well, Personas o gente is the same but gente is more informal. And you can use toman o beben, for me is the same.
And the better translation.... It is the same, you have the same meaning but in your sentence is the word "when" so I don't know if you must use that word in spanish too

Answer 24

okay, awesome!! :)

5) Some people make it sweeter, though people usually drink mate as it is made.

Algunas personas hacen mas dulce, aunque la gente suele tomar a mate como se hace.

what about this one?

Answer 25

Algunas personas "lo" hacen más dulce, aunque la gente suele tomar mate como se hace

Answer 26

okay :)

and 6) Mate is important because it is tradition and because it is good for you.

Mate es importante porque es tradicion y porque es bueno para usted.

what do u think? :D

Answer 27

"El" mate es importante porque es tradición y porque es bueno para usted (or para ti)

Answer 28

so i can end with para usted? and that is correct?

Answer 29

7) Mate is also the national drink of Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina.

Mate tambien es la bebida nacional de Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina.

and what about this one too?

Answer 30

Yes, why not? :P
And the 7 perfect: only "El" mate

Answer 31

oh right haha okay!!

and last one!!
8) I think that I would like the taste of mate because I really like tea, and they are similar.

Yo creo que me gustaría que el sabor del mate porque me gusta mucho te, y que son similares.

what do u think?

Answer 32

Creo que me gustaría el sabor del mate porque me gusta mucho "el" té, y son similares

Answer 33

okay, so just add the "el"?and no need for "YO"Before creo?

Answer 34

In spanish you don't need the personal pronoun before the verb because using Creo you know that is Yo.
It isn't like English that you must use the personal pronoun because without it you don't know the personal: Like I read, you read --> In spanish, yo leo, tu lees, (Leo is always for the first person so you don't need it)
Do you understand?

But if you write Yo creo ___ is perfect too.

Answer 35

So this is all of them?? And all the spellings and translations are right? :)

1) El mate esta hecho con hojas secas y agua caliente.

2) Es como el te.

3) En Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay beben mate.

4) La gente beben mate cuando están con su familia o amigos en un evento social.

5) Algunas personas lo hacen más dulce, aunque la gente suele tomar mate como se hace.

6) El mate es importante porque es tradicion y porque es bueno para usted.

7) El mate tambien es la bebida nacional de Uruguay, Paraguay y Argentina.

8) Creo que me gustaria el sabor del mate porque me gusta mucho el te, y son similares.

Do they all look good to you? :)

Answer 36

Yes perfect.

Answer 37
