Una joven pareja se mira. Están en una estación de tren.
English Translation:
A young couple looking at each other. They are at a train station.
| Grammar Notes: 1. Una joven pareja se mira. - Una - "A" (indefinite article, feminine singular) - joven - "young" (adjective, used here as a noun modifier) - pareja - "couple" (noun, feminine) - se mira - "looks at each other" (reflexive verb phrase; "mirar" means "to look," and "se" indicates that the action is performed mutually by the subject) Translation: "A young couple looks at each other." 2. Están en una estación de tren. - Están - "Are" (verb, present tense, 3rd person plural of "estar," indicating location or state) - en - "in" (preposition) - una - "a" (indefinite article, feminine singular) - estación - "station" (noun, feminine) - de - "of" (preposition) - tren - "train" (noun, masculine) Translation: "They are at a train station." General Grammar Tip: In Spanish, adjectives generally come after the nouns they modify, which is the opposite of English word order. This is seen in "una joven pareja," where "joven" (young) comes after "pareja" (couple) to describe the couple as young. However, adjectives can precede the noun for emphasis or stylistic reasons, especially in literary contexts. Synonym for "estación": "Terminal" can be used as a synonym for "estación" in certain contexts, especially when referring to transportation hubs (e.g., bus terminal, train station). However, it's important to note that "terminal" may not always be interchangeable with "estación," as it often implies the end of a line or a central point for various routes. |
