Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if 'discutimos' means 'now' or 'then'?

You usually tell by the context or other words in the sentence. For example, 'ahora' means now, and 'ayer' means yesterday. Without those words, it depends on the situation you're talking about!

Is 'discutimos' always an angry word?

Not always, but it is more likely to mean 'argue' than the English word 'discuss.' If you want to say you had a friendly talk, you might use 'hablamos' or 'conversamos' instead.
