Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'trayendo' the same as 'llevando'?

Not exactly. 'Trayendo' means bringing something to where you are. 'Llevando' means taking something to another place.

Why is there a 'y' in the middle of the word?

It is a spelling rule! When the 'i' sound in the '-iendo' ending falls between two vowels (a-i-e), Spanish changes it to a 'y' to make the word look and sound cleaner.
