Ganas

[quoted original message omitted]

Hi I have lived in mainland Spain for some 17 years and speak fairly fluent
Castellano. ganas as Karl quite rightly says is used here exactly as Karl says
It has no special emphasis However with the right phrasing you can place the
emphasis with other words. i.e.. "tengo ganas" or "no tengo ganas" are simple
statements of "I want to" or "I don't want to". If however someone says "lo
quieres hacer" "Do you want to do it., then replying "si y con ganas" means
you want to do it a lot

hope this helps Bob deAngelis Hobby pages
