Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'llegue' pronounced with a 'y' sound or a 'j' sound?
It depends on the region. In many parts of Latin America, the 'll' is pronounced like the 'y' in 'yes' (yeh-geh). In Spain and some other areas, it's a sound closer to the 'l' in 'million,' though the 'y' sound is most common today.
If 'llegue' is 'I arrive,' how do I say 'I arrive' when I am certain?
When you are certain or state a fact, you use the indicative form: 'Yo llego' (I arrive/I am arriving). You only use 'llegue' when there is doubt, hope, or influence.
