Apócopes
En gramática, una apócope (del griego apokopé < apokopto, "cortar") es la alteración la escritura o pronunciación de las palabras sin alterar su significado.
Donde se produce la pérdida o desaparición de uno o varios fonemas o sílabas al final de algunas palabras (puede ocurrir al principio de la palabra o en el medio de la palabra.
El género de esta palabra es femenino.
En español se apocopan algunos adjetivos, adverbios, sustantivos, verbos y determinativos.
Adjetivos calificativos Apocopados:
Ante masculino singular:
bueno → buen: "buen día"
malo → mal: "mal augurio"
Ante un nombre en singular:
grande → gran: "gran carrera" (Excepto cuando anteceden los adverbios más o menos: "la más grande carrera")
santo → san: "San Antonio", “San Pablo”
Adverbios
Mucho → muy (apócope de muito, del latín multum).
Esto sucede cuando precede a un adjetivo o a un adverbio, pero no ante más, menos, mejor y peor: "muy bajo, muy temprano".
Tanto → tan y cuanto → cuán. Los dos pierden la sílaba final ante adjetivos o adverbios: "tan bonito, cuán cercano",
pero no ante una forma verbal, aunque en el lenguaje coloquial se haga a veces: "tan es así, tan era cierto".
Las formas correctas son: "tanto es así, tanto era cierto".
recientemente → recién
Cardinales
ciento → cien. Ciento se apocopa ante un sustantivo (aunque éste vaya precedido de un adjetivo):
"Los cien estupendos libros",
"Las cien mejores poesías".
Se apocopa también cuando es multiplicador de mil:
"Los cien mil hijos de San Luis".
uno → un. Se apocopa ante nombres masculinos:
"Un artículo".
También los cardinales compuestos de uno: "veintiún soldados".
Ordinales
primero → primer. Se apocopa delante de un sustantivo masculino singular:
"Su primer libro no era tan bueno",
"Su primer y único novio".
Según la Real Academia Española, la apócope ante sustantivos femeninos es un arcaísmo que debe evitarse en el habla culta actual.
tercero → tercer. Su uso es igual al de primer.
“Tercer piso”.

Volveran las golondrinas de Adolfo Becquer
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
LIII
Volverán las oscuras golondrinas
en tu balcón sus nidos a colgar,
y otra vez con el ala a sus cristales
jugando llamarán.
Pero aquellas que el vuelo refrenaban
tu hermosura y mi dicha a contemplar,
aquellas que aprendieron nuestros nombres...
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán las tupidas madreselvas
de tu jardín las tapias a escalar,
y otra vez a la tarde aún más hermosas
sus flores se abrirán.
Pero aquellas cuajadas de rocío
cuyas gotas mirábamos temblar
y caer como lágrimas del día...
ésas... ¡no volverán!
Volverán del amor en tus oídos
las palabras ardientes a sonar;
tu corazón de su profundo sueño
tal vez despertará.
Pero mudo y absorto y de rodillas,
como se adora a Dios ante su altar,
como yo te he querido..., desengáñate,
nadie así te amará.
Ello: Pronombre Personal 3° Singular igual a "lo"
1. Forma neutra del pronombre personal tónico de tercera persona del singular.
Procede del demostrativo neutro latino y corresponde a “lo” (pronombres personales)
Pronombres personales átonos.:
Formas. Los pronombres personales átonos son aquellos que funcionan como complemento verbal no preposicional (Ya te lo he dicho) o como formante de los verbos pronominales (Ahora me arrepiento).
Precisamente por su carácter átono, se pronuncian necesariamente ligados al verbo, con el que forman una unidad acentual. Estos pronombres carentes de independencia fónica se denominan, en general, «clíticos» ):
. cuando anteceden al verbo (me encanta; lo dijo; se fue)
. se llaman «proclíticos»;
. cuando siguen al verbo (ayúdame, díselo, vete)
. se llaman «enclíticos».
A continuación se ofrece un cuadro con sus formas:
formas de los pronombres personales átonos
Persona gramatical Singular Plural
1.ª pers. me nos
2.ª pers. te os*
3.ª pers. compl. directo masc. Lo
(también le; → Leísmo, 2)
los
fem. la las
compl. directo o atributo neutro lo —
compl. indirecto le
(o se ante otro pronombre.
átono; → se, 1a)
les
(o se ante otro pronombre. átono; → se, 1a)
forma reflexiva se
* En América, en Canarias y en parte de Andalucía, no se usa el pronombre personal vosotros para la segunda persona del plural. En su lugar se emplea ustedes, que en esas zonas sirve tanto de tratamiento de confianza como de respeto ( Usted).
Por lo tanto, los pronombres personales átonos de segunda persona del plural que se utilizan en esas zonas son los que corresponden, gramaticalmente, a la tercera - lo(s), la(s) y le(s) -.
A ustedes, niños, los espero en casa
(frente a A vosotros, niños, os espero en casa).
. En la lengua actual puede tener como antecedente oraciones, pronombres o grupos nominales neutros y varios sustantivos de cosa considerados conjuntamente:
Me enfrenté con mi jefe y pagué por ello;
Si traen algo para mí, vendré por ello más tarde;
Tenía huevos, aceite y un par de patatas: con ello preparó una tortilla.
2. Sus propiedades se han ido reduciendo con el tiempo y usos que eran normales en épocas pasadas han desaparecido del español general actual.
Entre las funciones que puede ejercer este pronombre, la más habitual es la de término de preposición:
«Ana trató de localizarlos en cuanto tuvo fuerzas para ello»
No puede funcionar como complemento directo (para ello se emplea el pronombre átono lo:
—¿Crees que dice la verdad?
—Lo creo,
y no *Ello creo), pero sí como complemento indirecto y, en ese caso, no admite la coaparición del pronombre átono correspondiente a esta función:
«Los hombres superiores son virtuosos y a ello debían también sus dones» no sería correcto decir
a ello le debían también sus dones. Funciona muy raramente como sujeto, casi siempre en la lengua culta escrita y, a menudo, con valor conectivo equivalente a lo cual:
«Sé que (el hecho) fue casi atroz mientras duró (...). Ello no significa que su relato pueda conmover a un tercero»
También se utiliza en expresiones más o menos fijas con el verbo ser:
«Solo quiero consolarte, hasta donde ello es posible”.

The White Snake - English Tale
This little known, but charming story by the Brothers Grimm is about a servant who learns to understand the speech of animals. He travels the world and does favours to creatures along the way. And then, when he needs help to win the hand of a princess, they come to his aid.
A long time ago there lived a king who was famed for his wisdom through
all the land. Nothing was hidden from him, and it seemed as if news of
the most secret things was brought to him through the air. But he had
a strange custom; every day after dinner, when the table was cleared,
and no one else was present, a trusty servant had to bring him one more
dish. It was covered, however, and even the servant did not know what
was in it, neither did anyone know, for the King never took off the
cover to eat of it until he was quite alone.
This had gone on for a long time, when one day the servant, who took
away the dish, was overcome with such curiosity that he could not help
carrying the dish into his room. When he had carefully locked the door,
he lifted up the cover, and saw a white snake lying on the dish. But
when he saw it he could not deny himself the pleasure of tasting it,
so he cut off a little bit and put it into his mouth. No sooner had it
touched his tongue than he heard a strange whispering of little voices
outside his window. He went and listened, and then noticed that it was
the sparrows who were chattering together, and telling one another of
all kinds of things which they had seen in the fields and woods. Eating
the snake had given him power of understanding the language of animals.
Now it so happened that on this very day the Queen lost her most beautiful
ring, and suspicion of having stolen it fell upon this trusty servant,
who was allowed to go everywhere. The King ordered the man to be brought
before him, and threatened with angry words that unless he could before
the morrow point out the thief, he himself should be looked upon as guilty
and executed. In vain he declared his innocence.
In his trouble and fear he went down into the courtyard and though long and hard.
Now some ducks weresitting together quietly by a brook and taking their rest; and, whilst
they were making their feathers smooth with their bills, they were
having a confidentia conversation together. The servant stood by and
listened. They were telling one another of all the places where they had
been waddling about all the morning, and what good food they had found,
and one said in a pitiful tone, “Something lies heavy on my stomach;
as I was eating in haste I swallowed a ring which lay under the Queen’s
window.” The servant at once seized her, carried her to
the kitchen, and said to the cook, “Here is a fine duck; roast her for dinner.”
“Yes,” said the cook, and weighed her in his hand; “she has spared
no trouble to fatten herself, and has been waiting to be roasted long
enough.” And as he prepared the duck for dinner, he found the ring inside.
The servant could now easily prove his innocence; and the King, to make
amends for the wrong, allowed him to ask a favor, and promised him the
best place in the court that he could wish for. The servant refused
everything, and only asked for a horse and some money for traveling,
as he had a mind to see the world and go about a little.
When his request was granted he set out on his way, and one day came
to a pond, where he saw three fishes caught in the reeds and gasping
for water. Now, though it is said that fishes are dumb, he heard them
complaining that they must perish so miserably, and, as he had a kind
heart, he got off his horse and put the three prisoners back into the
water. They quivered with delight, put out their heads, and cried to him,
“We will remember you and repay you for saving us!”
He rode on, and after a while it seemed to him that he heard a voice
in the sand at his feet. He listened, and heard an ant-king complain,
“Why cannot folks, with their clumsy beasts, keep off our bodies? That
stupid horse, with his heavy hoofs, has been treading down my people
without mercy!” So he turned on to a side path and the ant-king cried
out to him, “We will remember you—one good turn deserves another!”
The path led him into a wood, and here he saw two old ravens standing by
their nest, and throwing out their young ones. “Out with you, you idle,
good-for-nothing creatures!” cried they; “we cannot find food for you
any longer; you are big enough, and can provide for yourselves.” But the
poor young ravens lay upon the ground, flapping their wings, and crying,
“Oh, what helpless chicks we are! We must shift for ourselves, and yet
we cannot fly! What can we do, but lie here and starve?” So the good
young fellow climbed down, and gave them his own food which he had
been carrying for his lunch.
Then they came hopping up to it, satisfied their hunger,
and cried, “We will remember you—one good turn deserves another!”
And when he had gone on a long way further, he
came to a large city. There was a great noise and crowd in the streets,
and a man rode up on horseback, crying aloud, “The King’s daughter
wants a husband; but whoever sues for her hand must perform a hard task,
and if he does not succeed he will forfeit his life.” Many had already
made the attempt, but in vain; nevertheless when the youth saw the King’s
daughter he was so overcome by her great beauty that he forgot all danger,
went before the King, and declared himself a suitor.
So he was led out to the sea, and a gold ring was thrown into it, in his
sight; then the King ordered him to fetch this ring up from the bottom of
the sea, and added, “If you come up again without it you will be thrown in
again and again until you perish amid the waves.” All the people grieved
for the handsome youth; then they went away, leaving him alone by the sea.
He stood on the shore and considered what he should do, when suddenly
he saw three fishes come swimming towards him, and they were the very
fishes whose lives he had saved. The one in the middle held a mussel in
its mouth, which it laid on the shore at the youth’s feet, and when he
had taken it up and opened it, there lay the gold ring in the shell. Full
of joy he took it to the King, and expected that he would grant him the
promised reward.
But when the proud princess saw that he was not her equal in birth,
she scorned him, and required him first to perform another task. She
went down into the garden and strewed with her own hands ten sacks-full
of millet-seed on the grass; then she said, “To-morrow morning before
sunrise these must be picked up, and not a single grain be wanting.”
The youth sat down in the garden and considered how it might be possible
to perform this task, but he could think of nothing, and there he sat
sorrowfully awaiting the break of day, when he should be led to death. But
as soon as the first rays of the sun shone into the garden he saw all the
ten sacks standing side by side, quite full, and not a single grain was
missing. The ant-king had come in the night with thousands and thousands
of ants, and the grateful creatures had by great industry picked up all
the millet-seed and gathered them into the sacks.
Presently the King’s daughter herself came down into the garden,
and was amazed to see that the young man had done the task she had
given him. But she could not yet conquer her proud heart, and said,
“Although he has performed both the tasks, he shall not be my husband
until he has brought me an apple from the Tree of Life.”
The youth did not know where the Tree of Life stood, but he set out,
and would have gone on for ever, as long as his legs would carry him,
though he had no hope of finding it. After he had wandered through three
kingdoms, he came one evening to a wood, and lay down under a tree to
sleep. But he heard a rustling in the branches, and a golden apple fell
into his hand. At the same time three ravens flew down to him, perched
themselves upon his knee, and said, “We are the three young ravens
whom you saved from starving; when we had grown big, and heard that you
were seeking the Golden Apple, we flew over the sea to the end of the
world, where the Tree of Life stands, and have brought you the apple.”
The youth, full of joy, set out homewards, and took the Golden Apple to
the King’s beautiful daughter, who had no more excuses left to make. They
cut the Apple of Life in two and ate it together; and then her heart
became full of love for him, and they lived in undisturbed happiness to
a great age.

Voseo , Tuteo o Formas de Tratamiento: Informales y el Ustedeo - Forma Formal
El "vos" se usa en Buenos Aires y algunas otras regiones. Su uso es equivalente al de la forma "tú", ni más ni menos respetuoso. El "vos" informal se opone al "usted" formal.
En los últimos tiempos se ha expandido el uso del "vos" como un modo de acercamiento y tratamiento amistoso. Podría decirse que es la forma más común y que el "usted" se usa para poner distancia, marcar intencionalmente jerarquías, indicar admiración por alguien mayor y destacado, resaltar el tratamiento respetuoso, o como resabio de épocas en las cuales la norma de uso era más rígida.
El "vos" se usa en relaciones amistosas o con intención amistosa, de familiaridad y entre personas jóvenes aunque el contacto no sea íntimo. Aún en la relación profesor-alumno, jefe-empleado, vendedor-cliente se puede usar el voseo, salvo que la intención sea marcar la asimetría.
El "usted" se usa en situaciones laborales formales (reunión empresarial, entrevista con un cliente, etc.) y entre personas mayores, por costumbre.
Cuando resulta difícil encontrar la forma de tratamiento adecuada es útil preguntar: "¿Puedo tutearlo?" o decir: "Podés tutearme". En ambos casos se supone respuesta afirmativa y, a partir de allí el intercambio puede hacerse en la forma amistosa.
Modo imperativo
Este modo no tiene distintos tiempos ni primera persona del singular.
Se usa para expresar órdenes, invitaciones, pedidos, siempre que sean afirmativos. Para órdenes, invitaciones, pedidos negativos se utiliza siempre, en todas las personas, "no" + Presente del Subjuntivo. ( Hablá ahora o no hables nunca más; Vení; Pase; Siéntense, Sírvase, etc.)
La forma "vos"
Todos los verbos son regulares para la forma "vos" en el imperativo: está, da, salí, tené, poné, hacé, vení, conocé, parecé, ofrecé, traducí, producí, conducí, almorzá, podé, dormí, pensá, queré, sentí, pedí, jugá, etc.
La fórmula es: Infinitivo – r + ´ = imperativo
La única excepción es el verbo "ir" que se reemplaza por "andar": andá.

Los verbos que agregan –g en el presente indicativo y del subjuntivo mantienen esa irregularidad en el imperativo, salvo en la segunda persona "tú" en la que omiten la desinencia.

El uso del "ustedes"
El pronombre vosotros se usa solamente en España. Es un tratamiento informal para la segunda persona plural. En el resto de las regiones se usa el "ustedes" tanto para tratamiento formal como informal.
Español con influencia del Francés:
1.0 Artículos Definidos: le (masculino), la (femenino) en singular y les en plural, para ambos géneros. Se usa l' delante de una vocal o h muda en lugar de le o la (le père, la mère, les enfants, l'enfant, l'homme).
Preceden al nombre de un país (la France et l'Espagne). No sucede igual cuando el nombre del país es femenino, entonces preceden preposiciones à, de, en ( vivre en Costa Rica, aller à Colombia, revenir de Venezuela).
2.0 Artículos Contraídos du (de, le) y au (à le) preceden cuando los sustantivos del masculino singular inician por letra consonante o h muda; des (de les) mientras que aux (à les) preceden a todos los sustantivos.
3.0 Artículos Indefinidos un, une en singular y des en plural (un garçon, une fille, des enfants).
4.0 Artículos partitivos o parciales: de, de la, del', des (du pain, de la viande, de l'eau, des fruits) preceden al sustantivo excepto cuando la oración es negativa, entonces se usa de, d' (il ne boit pas de lait, il ne boit pas d'eau).

Empanadas chilenas
Recetas
Por todamujer.com,
La empanada chilena es muy famosa. Y hay de todo tipo, pero la calduda es considerada la empanada chilena. La carne se cocina lentamente en un caldo, ganando un delicioso sabor. El relleno o pino se endulza con pasitas y contrasta con el sabor rotundo de las aceitunas. ¡Buen provecho!
Rendimiento: 16 piezas
Complejidad: Moderada
Tiempo de preparación: 1 hora 30 minutos
Ingredientes
Para la masa:
3 tazas de harina
1 cucharadita de sal de grano
1 barra de mantequilla sin sal, a temperatura ambiente, cortada en pedazos
2 yemas de huevo
2 cucharadas de vinagre de estragón o vinagre de vino blanco
Para el relleno
1 cucharada de aceite de oliva mezclado con una cucharadita de paprika española y 1 / 8 de cucharadita de cayena
2 cucharadas de mantequilla sin sal
2 tazas de cebolla, pelada y picada finamente
1/2 libra de carne de res (sirloin) molida
1 cucharadita de orégano fresco, picado o 1/4 de cucharadita de orégano seco
2 cucharaditas de sal de grano
1 hoja de laurel
1/2 taza de consomé de res
3 cucharadas de pasitas sin hueso
8 aceitunas tipo kalamata, sin hueso y picadas
1 huevo cocido picado
Para glasear
1 yema de huevo
1 huevo entero
1 cucharada de agua fría
Procedimiento
1. Mezcla la harina con la sal en un recipiente. Añade la mantequilla, las yemas y el vinagre, y amasa rápidamente con los dedos hasta que los ingredientes se hayan incorporado.
2. Añade 5 cucharadas de agua y continúa amasando; si necesitas más cantidad de agua, añádela de poquito en poquito, para mantener firme la masa. Refrigérala hasta que la uses.
Para el relleno:
1. Calienta el aceite y la mantequilla en un sartén.
2. Fríe la cebolla a fuego medio hasta que dore ligeramente, unos 5 minutos.
3. Agrega la carne, las especias y cocínalas hasta que el líquido casi se haya evaporado. Prueba y añádele sal. Retira del fuego y reserva.
4. Precalienta el horno a 200ºC
5. En una superficie enharinada extiende la masa, apenas un poco menos de 1/2 centímetro y formando un rectángulo de 30 centímetros por lado. Corta círculos de 12 centímetros de diámetro y amasa de nuevo las tiras restantes, para volver a extender y continuar sacando círculos.
6. Coloca en el centro de cada círculo de masa una cucharada repleta de relleno, teniendo cuidado en dejar libre por lo menos un centímetro de masa para poder sellar la empanada. Puedes hacerlo con los propios jugos del relleno o con agua. Da forma de media luna y presiona con los dedos o con un tenedor para ensamblar la empanada y evitar que se abra durante la cocción.
7. Mezcla la yema con el huevo y el agua.
8. Prepara una charola para hornear con papel aluminio ligeramente engrasado y acomoda las empanadas barnizadas con la mezcla de huevo y agua.
9. Hornea durante 30 minutos o hasta que doren. Remueve de la charola y sirve las empanadas calientes.
