Spanish Punctuation
 

How do I get the punctuation marks in Spanish (the upside down ? and !).
Thanks.

That depends on which application you are using.

In vim, add this to your .vimrc
:set digraph

Then, when writing a document, escape out of insert mode, and enter :digraph at the command prompt to see the letter/key combinations for various special characters, such as the upside down question mark. The keys are pressed: first letter key, backspace, second letter key.

In OpenOffice.org Writer, Insert - Special Character, and select the character from the dialogue box that pops up.

If you have enabled a Compose key (the Windows Menu key is a convenient choice), then you get ¿ by the sequence Compose ? ? and similarly Compose ! ! gives you ¡.

Some non-Spanish keyboards, like US International with dead keys, have the symbols provided via AltGr and the "upright" version key. That can be added to any layout, of course.

Some of the alt+ or ctrl+ a number sequence can access it.
alt 168 maybe¿¿¿

Can use cut and paste also.

Alt + a decimal number is a Windows thing. Some Linux systems have Shift-Ctrl-U followed by the hex code, but many don't. Why would anyone want such a complex system, and one that requires them to remember a number, when they could get the symbol directly from the keyboard? Jefro obviously only types in Murican!

I never learned to speak hypothetically.

The period is the punctuation mark we use in order to tell the reader he or she needs to make a long pause. Generally speaking, periods come at the end of the sentence (as long as it is not a question or an exclamation) and they tell us the main idea of the sentence has been conveyed and we can make a pause.

El niño juega en el parque. (The boy is playing in the park.)

Tengo sueño. (I am sleepy.)

Easy! You convey your message and close it with a period. Cool and simple. Everybody knows that, I am sure.
Six months ago, when the quarantine began, I wanted to learn Spanish. Watching films in a foreign language is a prerequisite for learning any language. For me personally, the best way was to study Language online with [removed] from Preply service. There is no shame in the fact that I start to learn a foreign language as an adult, on the contrary: the craving for knowledge always commands respect. It doesn't matter how old you are, what matters is your willingness to learn.

@capita,

This is the second time you've posted advertising links in this thread.

You post while related, also does not appear to be part of the topic discussion.

You've been given the benefit of doubt due to the fact that you've been with LQ for about a year and also posted correctly in other situations.

Please refrain from posting Spanish tutoring links or any other advertising links.

@all,

Please take note of the age of the thread, which was awakened by capita with thir first advertising post, since removed.
