I don't understand the word 'mar' for sea. Is it 'el mar' or 'la mar' I've also I think heard 'al mar' being said. I'm really confused as to how to use this word appropriately. If you could explain this that would be absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
Hola! Both “la mar” and “el mar” are accepted. In my opinion “la mar” sounds more poetic and “el mar” is used more regularly.
If you read a geography book you will most likely read “el mar Mediterráneo” and so on.
There are some expressions the are tied to one of the genders, for example:
Alta mar (feminine) = high seas
“La mar de” (feminine) = extremely. Estoy la mar de calmada. I am extremely calm.
********
“Al mar” means “to the sea” and you are using here the masculine gender (a + el + mar)
Cada vez que voy al mar azul me siento feliz.
Every time I go to the blue sea I feel happy.

do gran and grande mean the same thing ? or they have different meaning ?
They have the same meaning:)
Grande
Is a neutral adjective (doesn’t have masculine and feminine forms, it’s the same) that means big. It has a plural form:
El edificio grande. The big building.Los edificios grandes. The big buildings.La estatua grande. The big statueLas estatuas grandes. The big statues
Gran
Is the short form of grande. It is only used in singular for both genders. Gran always goes before the noun.
El gran edficio. The great building.La gran estatua. The great statue.
When you want to use the plural and put gran before the noun, it turns to grandes.
Los grandes edificios. The great buildings.Las grandes estatuas. The great statues.
When this adjective goes after the noun it comes to mean big as in its measure and physique only.
When this adjective goes before the noun it has a meaning of high quality.El edificio grande = the building is bigEl gran edificio = it may be big but also has qualities such as being secure, being an example for other constructions, etc.

*Note: There are some regionalisms in here, and some have so many regionalisms I couldn’t include them on the list.
For instance, “to take a test” has so many regionalisms it’s difficult to list them all. In Mexico you’re probably going to hear presentar un examen. Some places will say hacer un examen, some even put it as el maestro / la maestra pone un examen a los estudiantes.
The default way of saying “to take a test” is dar un examen which is literally “to give an exam”, because you hand a test in to your teacher. Along the same lines, the default way a teacher “gives a test” is tomar un examen because they “take” the tests that the students turn in. For that reason, dar un examen is often translated as “to sit for an exam” to help the meaning come across more easily.

Spanish-Speaking Countries & the Origin of their Names
Argentina
Argentina comes from the latin word for silver, argentum. The first use of the word appears around the time of when the Spanish conquistadors arrived at the Río de la Plata (River of Silver, Silver River) between Argentina and Uruguay.
Bolivia
Bolivia comes from the name of a leader during the period of the Spanish American wars for independence, Simón Bolívar.
Chile
The valley of the Aconcagua was called “Chili” by the Incas (according to Diego de Rosales) due to a corruption of the name Tili (a tribal chief).
Another theory is that there was a town or valley called Chili in the Casma Valley in Peru, which has a resemblance to the valley of Aconcagua.
Chile could come from an indigenous word meaning “ends of the earth” or “sea gulls.“
From Mapuche, “chilli” meaning “where the land ends.“
From Quechua, “chiri” meaning “cold” or “tchili” meaning “snow” or “the deepest point of the Earth."
There is a bird that shouts "chile” when flying; they are in all the valleys from the center of the country to the Southern regions. These birds are called Queltehues or Treiles.
Colombia
Colombia is derived from the name Christopher Columbus.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica means “rich coast” in Spanish. Christopher Columbus was given credit for discovering this country and called it Costa Rica because he believed there to be precious metals.
Cuba
Cuba is Taíno for “where fertile land is abundant” (cubao) or “great place” (coabana).
Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic shares an island with Haiti.
Before the whole island was called Haiti, the Taíno word for mountainous land. Christopher Columbus comes to the island and renames it Hispaniola, meaning “little Spain” because its beauty was comparable to that of Spain’s.
The French arrive on the island, naming the current-day Haiti St. Domingue and the Spanish refered to the Dominican Republic and Santo Domingo.
After its independence, they renamed it to the Dominican Republic
Ecuador
Ecuador means “equator” in Spanish, and Ecuador lies on the equator.
El Salvador
El Salvador means “The Savior” in Spanish.
Guatemala
Guatemala comes from the Nahuatl word Cuauhtēmallān, which means “place of many trees."
Another theory is that the country’s name is a alteration of the Nahoa word which means "land of the snake-eating bird.”
Honduras
Honduras means “depths” in Spanish. It is said that Columbus said, "Gracias a Dios que hemos salido de estas Honduras”(Thank God we have left these depths).
Mexico
The Nahuatl word Mexica means “place of the Mexica” (the Aztecs).
In Nahuatl, a combination of three words creates the meaning similar to “in the navel of the moon” because the position of lakes resembles a rabbit; therefore alluding to the navel of a rabbit.
Nicaragua
At the time of the Spanish arrival in Nicaragua, Nicarao was the current chief of the indigenous tribe. Nicarao, combined with the Spanish word for water (agua) due to it’s geography, makes Nicaragua.
Another theory is that it means “surrounded by water” in an indigenous language.
Panama
Panama comes from a word of the indigenous language meaning something similar to an “abundance of fish” (due to the country’s geography).
Paraguay
Coming from Guaraní, Paraguay is believed to refer to a river despite many versions of its origin. It means something similar to “river that flows through the sea” (French-Argentine historian Paul Groussac), “river crowned” (Antonio Ruiz de Montoya), or refers either to an indigenous tribe that lived along the river or a chief named Paraguaio (Félix de Azara).
Peru
The original name of Peru was Birú, Birú being the name of a ruler who lived close to the Bay of San Miguel, Panama. He was visited by Spanish explores where, at the time, was the southernmost region of the New World.
When Francisco Pizarro arrived in Peru, he asked locals the name of the place. Their answer was “Viru” because of the Viru River in northern Peru (where the Spanish arrived). Instead, they heard “Peru” and since that moment, Pizarro called the land Cusco Peru.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico was originally called San Juan Bautista by Christopher Columbus, after the Catholic saint, Saint John the Baptist, while the capital was called the Ciudad de Puerto Rico. As time went on, gold was found in the river and the country began to be referred to as Puerto Rico.
Spain
España (Spain) comes from the Roman name Hispania, though the origins of this word are unknown.
Hispania could have stemmed from the Greek word Hesperia, which poetically means “western land” or “land of the setting sun” (in reference to Italy), which would then make Spain (further west) Hesperia ultima.
Antonio de Nebrija (Renaissance) thought that Hispania is derived from the word Hispalis, which means “city of the western world.”
Another theory is that it comes from I-Shpania (Punic), meaning something similar to “land of rabbits” because the Roman coins were adorned with a female figure with a rabbit.
Uruguay
Uruguay is a Guaraní word, which means “river of shellfish” or “river the uru birds come from.“
Venezuela
The indigenous people living in Venezuela during the 1500s built their living quarters on stilts over places like Lake Maracaibo; this reminded a Spanish explorer of Venice (Italy), in which the name Venezuela means "little Venice.”
From the same place in the Maracaibo Lake, the indigenous community that lived there already had a name for the land, Veneçiuela, which meant agua grande (big waters). The Spanish spread that around and assumed that it was the name.
Please correct me if any of these are incorrect! Some of these have multiple histories and I have no way of knowing which one is correct.
The origins for some of the countries are difficult to find or too fuzzy in my opinion to write it down, but I tried to provide an explanation for the meaning (e.g. El Salvador, Honduras, etc.)

Numbers! - Numeri!
Buonasera ! Today we’ll try to explain you numbers.
Cardinal Numbers - Numeri Cardinali
Generally cardinal numbers’ names are made with the name of the numbers they contain - it’s complicated only in words, I promise. Little example: 359 = 300 + 50 + 9 = trecento + cinquanta + nove = trecentocinquantanove Numbers from 1 to 9 are used to compose numbers after the 20. Numbers from 11 to 19 are differently named, same as for multiples of 10. Ok now I’ll write them down with more examples, so you can ask me more explanations ;)
1 - uno 2 - due 3 - tre 4 - quattro 5 - cinque 6 - sei 7 - sette 8 - otto 9 - nove 10 - dieci 11 - undici 12 - dodici 13 - tredici 14 - quattordici 15 - quindici 16 - sedici 17 - diciassette 18 - diciotto 19 - diciannove
Multiples of 10: 20 - venti 30 - trenta 40 - quaranta 50 - cinquanta 60 - sessanta 70 - settanta 80 - ottanta 90 - novanta 100 - cento 1000 - mille 10'000 - diecimila** 100'000 - centomila** 1'000'000 - un milione 1'000'000'000 - un miliardo Examples of numbers: 21 = 20 + 1 = venti + uno = ventuno* 22 = ventidue 23 = ventitré 36 = trentasei 55 = cinquantacinque 75 = settantacinque 91 = novantuno 99 = novantanove 101 = centouno 111 = centoundici 176= centosettantasei 2000 = duemila** 3010 = tremiladieci**
*21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91….. we say and write down (for example) ventuno, and not ventiuno because two vocals close don’t sound well in this case. We avoid the use of the first vocal (the i of venti) and just add the uno. Same goes for all these 8 numbers.
**from 2000 on, the triple 0 (mille) becomes “mila”: so it’s not “duemille” but “duemila”, and so on.
Ordinal Numbers - Numeri Ordinali
Ordinal numbers are cardinal numbers + a particular ending, which is the same from number 11 on and it’s - esimo. First ten numbers are different and have a proper name. 1° - primo 2° - secondo 3° - terzo 4° - quarto 5° - quinto 6° - sesto 7° - settimo 8° - ottavo 9° - nono 10° - decimo
(we always “cut” the last vocal of the first number and add -esimo, except when a number end with 3 or 6: we don’t cut anything)
11° - undici + esimo = undicesimo 15° - quindicesimo 20° - ventesimo 23° - ventitreesimo 28° - ventottesimo 59° - cinquantanovesimo 76° - settantaseiesimo 96° - novantaseiesimo 100° - centesimo 167° - centosessantasettesimo 1000° - millesimo As always, if you have any curiosity or I have not been clear (which is probably true, I am sorry), here I am and I don’t mind ANY kind of question, really. Ciao!
