So apparently #español has 2 completely interchangeable versions of the imperfect subjunctive. e.g. 'cupiera' can be 'cupiese'.

Because verbs were too simple, sure let's add multiple versions of each conjugation!

For those non-students of the language, here's what the conjugation of that verb looks like:

To be fair, the core 4 or 5 conjugations bed into your mind OK after enough time, for most 'normal' verbs (caber is a bit 'spicier' than most), but the very complex way the subjunctive gets used mixed in with past tenses and conditionals really is over the top sometimes).

I like when language is something i dont even have to think about. My first language was spanish but now im a gringo and i struggle with less frequently used spanish words 🤷‍♂️

Yeah 90% of my 'study' is, like, watching telenovelas :) imo it's better that way, albeit it depends on your reason for learning.

But doing grammar exercises is interesting, too.

😂 the memories of my mom taking over the tv to watch "dos mujeros un camino" come to mind when i hear telenovelas
