Thanks for asking.
Indeed a wonderful country. I want to go back.
Sadly my Spanish only really progressed from 'menu Spanish to 'taxi Spanish'
And on the day of the Municipal elections I asked my Airbnb host 'Gana tu partido? 'Tristamente no'.

The copiamos/copiaron distinction seems pretty clear?
No fuimos nosotras las que copiamos en el examen
It wasn't us who copied/cheated in the exam
no fuimos nosotras las que copiaron en el examen.
It wasn't us that they copied [from] in the exam
Thanks @gmads.
Tus datos para espanol mexicano no me parecen muy diferentes de los para espanol espanol, o quizas he sido aprendando de duolingo demasiado.

How about a separate forum for Duolingo system behaviour?
My Gems have suddenly jumped from about 3000 to 12000.
I did a lesson on the website the other day, instead of the Android app i usually ipuse.
Any chance Gems are merging into Lingots?

So we have options to mark posts read
for all forums and
just topics in a single forum
Could we have similar options for show new posts
for all forums, and
just for the current forum
?
A patient in a hospital is 'in hospital': no article.
A ship in [dry] dock is 'in dock'.
A person might be a doctor or a cleaner in a hospital, that is forming part of the institution.
A doctor not on the staff of a hospital might be at a meeting at the hospital.
¿Quizas mejor decir 'fruta fresca'?
Me parece que el asunto se centra en la palabra solo.
Lo que noté fue la palabra tilde.
En los paises angloparlantes tilde se usa para el acento sobre la ñ. El acento sobre las vocales, en frances acute, o grave en ingles es simplemente accent.
I've been studying Spanish pretty diligently on Duolingo for over 3 years, and in May im off to Spain for a Covid long delayed holiday.
Can anyone recommend a series of intermediate level books or websites about the regions of Spain, using Iberian Spanish, for me to read?
Any similar podcasts?

A closely related term is that of tlapalería (hardware store).
So, in 19th Century English a colourman.
Cf Sherlock Holmes The Retired Colourman
Wow, we're really delving around in some very old fashioned occupational words.
A blacksmith makes nails as a craft, and maybe sells them.
An ironmonger buys nails wholesale, and sells them retail.
Ironmongery, ironmonger

Not particularly, but I like the idea of a ferret shop:
a shop for ferrets?
a shop run by ferrets?
a shop selling ferrets?
Simples!
I think my favorite words in Spanish are
La lavenderia and la ferreteria
which obviously mean
The lavender shop and the ferret shop
