Hola George,



Entiendo el problema. Para empezar el Diccionar de la Real Academia Espa?ola: http://www.rae.es/



Now, another great dictionary (English-Spanish/ Spanish-English) which provides decent examples and even forums:

http://www.wordreference.com/



(3) Un diccionario de variantes del espa?ol (jergas incluídas)http://www3.unileon.es/dp/dfh/jmr/dicci/…

hmm, I can't really understand come of the stuff you're saying, but I'll give it a try.

First off, there is no 'correct verbs' considering all the different spanish speaking countries, and the fact that each one uses words and phrases a little bit differently than the others.

Devolver in most cases means to return something, like returning a book to the library for example.

Mezclar is to mix or stir.

I learned both of those in spanish class from my Chilean teacher, but I also looked in my dictionary, and both of them were there.

I'm beginning to think that it's your dictionary. A good one is worth the few extra bucks.

But yeah, each country is different, so it really depends on who you're talking to, where your teacher is from, or who the spanish book is directed towards.

Hope that helps.

Maybe use an internet dictionary next time?Where is a list of correct spanish verbs. I hear spanish i dont know look it up in dictionary isnt there?

I agree -partially- with one of the recent answers. The Royal Academy of Spanish Language publishes yearly its official ditionary. But you would make a big mistake if you thought that we -native Spanish speakers- read it each year and speak as it rules. Many words don′t mean the same in Spain than in Latin America. There is a very funny story taled by Karlos Argui?ano -a popular TV cook from Spain-, who lived a long time here in Argentina, and when he did an audition in Mar del Plata (the most important beaches in the country), he said to the people who was there: "Aquí que vosotros tenéis estas hermosas playas, podremos ir ma?ana temprano a coger unas conchas" ("here, where you have so nice beaches, we will be able to go tomorrow early to pick up some shells"). Many people got very disappointed, and many other laughed off loud. The reason was that in Spain "coger unas conchas" means "pick up some shells"... But in Argentina that means "to **** some *****"!!!... As if it was not difficult enough, we are all the time creating new verbs, in many cases because of Internet: "chatear" (to chat), "clickear" (to click), "resetear" (to reset). So... like always: the correct verbs are not in the dictionary... but in the streets.... Where real people use real language to be really communicated.
