"Tenemos mucho frío esta mañana."

Translation: We are really cold this morning.

[Marcin897276]

We are very cold this morning should be accepted

[JordanFalc1]

It's now accepted for me

[Amol62014]

Why is it not estamos instead of tenemos?

[Bejoy15]

The literal translation is "We have lot of cold this morning"

[JordanFalc1]

Tenemos is also used to explain a state of condition. The thing with learning other languages is that a lot of of words can't be translated literally

[TerraZe]

When I slowed it down, it sounded like "fria". Was that just me?

[TerraZe]

Note: not when fast, only slow.

[NandGate]

Why not also: "we were really cold this morning"?

[SarahChen2645]

Because that is speaking in the past tense

[Costaricajoy]

My answer should be accepted. We are very cold this morning

[Valerie823582]

we are very cold this morning - should be accepted

[Bruce768614]

It was today 8/26/2018.
I also think that "we feel very cold" should also be accepted.

[MiriamdaSi8]

Agree, but it is not

[Hillarysdobson]

What would,We were really cold, be?

[pat92981]

Thats past tense buddy.

[cbh53]

We are really cold OR we really are cold should be accepted

[PaulMurphy188537]

I got it right with 'We feel very cold this morning' but I thought muy = very and mucho = many or alot so wouldnt Tenemos muy frio esta manana (with a whatsamacallit above the n) be more correct?

[Bruce768614]

"Frío" is a noun here.
"Muy" can only modify verbs and adjectives and other adverbs.
You need to use an adjective like "mucho". It means "a lot of".
"Mucho frío" is "a lot of cold".

[PaulMurphy188537]

Thanks for that explanation. Since I wrote my post, I've encountered other similar examples of the lack of interchangeability between muy and mucho. I wonder if there's a straightforward English equivalent to help me remember...

[Scarletttdresss]

No, actually you can only say "Tenemos mucho frío". "Muy" isn't the right word because "tenemos" goes before

[N1eGRSKI]

Could we use ‘verdad’ to imply ‘really’ in this sentence?

[AcHoyle]

This is a very confusing sentence?

[pat92981]

Not in January bud :-((

[Jekyll8]

my answer "we are quite cold this morning" was rejected. Why?

[SweenCat]

Question: Why is 'esta' used instead of 'esto'' ? Is it determined by the noun "mañana" ?

[George_Gibson_77]

Yes, the adjective must be of the same gender and number as the noun that it modifies. For example, esta casa (this house), estas casas (these houses), esas casas (those houses) este libro (this book), estos libros (these books), esos libros (those books)

[Getsmarts]

Thank you for this explanation.

[Carole943438]

'We are very cold today' should be accepted too.

[PaulMurphy188537]

Today is hoy and esta manana was given so its gotten be esta manana -> this morning.

[Armin924335]

to feel means ---sentir

[EllieLinha]

i thought manana is tomorow...

[Bruce768614]

"Mañana" = "Tomorrow"

"La mañana" = "The morning"

My answer "We were very cold this morning" is rejected. I am assuming it has to do with the tenses, but how do we tell whether it should be past or present tense?

[PaulMurphy188537]

Exactly, you used were instead of are where the statement is about the current situation this morning. In terms of how you tell whether its a statement about something current or in the past (or even in the future, or generally over time as a whole etc etc), it has alot to do with the 'conjugations' used. In this case Tenemos means we have (not we had). Sorry but one of the (big) limitations with Duolingo is there's no easy way to search for the tips that have been helpful in the past so I can't point you to the relevant info about it in Duo. I did find this page online though https://www.dummies.com/languages/spanish/conjugating-the-irregular-spanish-verb-tener-to-have/ hope that helps!

[Alicia586180]

Why is (We have much cold this morning.) wrong? 1/30/21

[PaulMurphy188537]

Although that's a literal word by word translation of the individual Spanish words in the bigger picture when you talk about having cold it means you are cold. It's just like tenemos hambre wouldn't be said as we have hunger you'd say we're hungry.

[Rod506627]

Your English is not flexible enough here. This is rather confusing and you should be able to handle this kind of thing
