Does the Spanish word siga only apply to movement and directions? e.g. continue that direction or road?
Or can it also be used in a context like "continue with what you are doing?". For instance continue kissing me :) Thanks 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As you correctly grasped, seguir can be used for continuation of actions to:
e.g. sigue besándome! - continue to kiss me! but seguir is then always followed by the ~ndo form of the verb (hablando, escuchando, bebiendo etc.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks.
But why is it sigue and not siga? Is there a difference between these words? is siga then used for direction (follow) and sigue for continue with your activity? And I just looked at the verb sigue and do see sigo but not the word siga. Is siga used for feminine words and sigo for masculine words?

sigue is the "tú" form of the imperative siga is the "usted" form. One would hope that you are on "tú" terms if you've got to the kissing stage :¬) Andy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
