Wishing Verbs
Moving back and forth between languages sometimes produces the most delicious images.
Today as I edited the Spanish lesson that forms the heart of one of the newsletters my marketing team sends out every week, I stumbled across a little word changeling I just can't get enough of.
In a lesson on the subjunctive, the Spanish teacher who prepares our lessons translated verbos de deseo as "wishing verbs".
Wishing verbs.
How absolutely delicious!
I need to use more "wishing verbs".
