According to wordreference.com forums, deber + haber = 'should have'
I'm just starting on Spanish too, would like to hear other uses 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A few common uses (in Mexico):
hay - there is, there are había, hubo - there was habría - there would be habrá - there will be va a haber - there is going to be ha de + verb - ha de estar en la cocina - it/he/she must be in the kitchen ha de haberlo hecho - he/she must have done it lo he hecho - I have done it lo había hecho - I had done it lo habría hecho - I would have done it lo habré hecho - I will have done it 'haya' is the subjunctive form, don't worry about it for the moment if you're just starting out. A lot of Mexicans stick a 'g' in it and make it 'haiga' which is just plain wrong. I say this because it was the first one I heard and started using until I was thankfully corrected! No creo que lo hayan hecho - I don't think they've done it. There are many more uses but that's probably enough to get going. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I guess to you that means that "aint", "nucular", and "aks" are correct English as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Exactly. And wrong by whose parameters, the Cervantes Institutes? I'm sure myself and Cainntear, for example, differ in our pronunciation and usage of the English language. It doesn't mean that either is wrong, just that there are many variants and dialects. Edited by gogglehead on 09 April 2009 at 9:23pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
