QUINTANA ROO

Uno de los bellos estados de México dueño de vistas espectaculares y guardían de las principales ruinas Mayas hacen de tu estadía una experiencia indiscutiblemente perfecta.

TULUM

La zona arqueológica Tulum, la cual se encuentra en el estado de Quintana Roo a 128km de Cancún, es uno de los edificios mayas construidos en la costa norte entre los años 1200 y 1550 de nuestra era. Sus estructuras principales como “El Castillo” y el “Templo de los Frescos” destacan por su buena conservación y la calidad de la pinturas murales que aún se conservan en el interior de ambos.

Estudios arqueológicos publicados en los últimos años indican que existe evidencia consistente para asegurar que Tulum (Palabra maya que significa muralla) habría sido una de las principales ciudades de los siglos XII y XIV.

Tulum es el sitio más conocido y publicitado del estado, no puede faltar en el itinerario de cualquier turista y aunque es más conocido por la belleza de sus playas, el diseño urbano, la muralla y las pinturas murales son atractivos ineludibles de la zona arqueológica.

Aunque este lugar es conocido como “Tulum”, fuentes del siglo XVI lo designan como “Zamá” la cual se refiere a la palabra maya correspondiente a “Amanecer”, lo que es totalmente comprensible ya que el sitio se encuentra en la zona más alta de la costa oriental en el cual contemplar el amanecer es un espectáculo maravilloso.

Diferencia entre So, Too, Either y Neither

SO, TOO, EITHER Y NEITHER

Estas palabras tienen usos variados, uno de ellos es para expresar acuerdo tal como “también” o “tampoco” en inglés. Cuando queremos expresar acuerdo utilizamos too o so y cuando queremos expresar un acuerdo en negativo utilizamos either o neither. Es importante recordar que estas palabras siempre irán acompañadas de un auxiliar, tales como: is, are, do, does, did, will, can, must, may entre otros siempre partiendo del tiempo de la oración principal

SO Y TOO

Aunque ambas palabras indiquen el mismo significado (también) el orden en que se usan es lo que marca la diferencia.

	ESTRUCTURA	EJEMPLO
SO	So + Auxiliar + Sujeto	So am I // yo también
TOO	Sujeto + Auxiliar + Too	You too // tú también

La palabra Too además del utilizarse para indicar algún acuerdo, también se usa para indicar “demasiado” cuando es colocada delante de “adjetivos o adverbios”. Por ejemplo:

Too bad

Demasiado mal

Por otro lado la palabra So también tiene varios significados y no solo es utilizado para indicar acuerdo. Ejemplos:

- Puede significar “así que”:

It was late so I decided not to go out

Era tarde así que decidí no salir

- Puede significar “tan”:

The test was so easy

El examen fue tan fácil

- Puede significar “tanto o tanta”:

So many days

Tantos días

- Puede significar “tan poco o poca”:

So few days

Tan pocos días

- Puede significar “para que”:

Bring some bowls so we can share this ice cream

Trae unos platos para que podamos compartir este helado

- También puede ser utilizado para indicar “así/si/lo” con algunos verbos para

evitar que se repita algún adjetivo, adverbio o cláusula:

Diana speaks French very well and Luis even more so

Diana habla muy bien francés y Luis aun más

- Puede significar “así (de esta manera)”:

Put the tubes in the boxes like so

Pon los tubos en las cajas así

o cuando indicas con las manos...

The table is so wide and so long

La mesa es así de ancha y así de larga

EITHER Y NEITHER

La diferencia entre estas dos palabras es el orden que tienen en la oración además de su forma negativa - afirmativa.

	ESTRUCTURA	EJEMPLO
EITHER	Sujeto + Auxiliar en negativo + Either	I am not tired, and my friends are not either // No estoy cansado y mis amigos tampoco
NEITHER	Neither + Auxiliar + Sujeto	Neither do I // Yo tampoco

Otro de los usos que tiene Either cuando se utiliza conjuntamente con or es para dar el significado de “o” u “o bien”. Por ejemplo cuando queremos ofrecer bebidas:

You can have either coffe or tea

Puedes tomar café o té

Por otro lado cuando es colocado delante de un sustantivo Either toma forma de adjetivo para indicar el significado de “cualquiera”. Por ejemplo:

You can use either computer

Puedes utilizar cualquiera de las computadoras

Generalmente se utiliza Either para dar a elegir entre dos cosas aunque pudiera ser utilizado para señalar más de dos, sin embargo es común utilizar en ese caso “any”.

Either también puede ser utilizado como pronombre, es decir, para sustituir a un nombre. En una oración positiva el significado sería “cualquiera”, en una oración negativa “ninguno o ninguna” y en una pregunta “alguno o alguna”. Por ejemplo:

Either of them is smart

Cualquiera de ellos es inteligente

I can’t drink either of those juices

No puedo tomar ninguno de esos jugos

Do either of you invite him?

Alguno de ustedes lo invitó?

Utilizado conjuntamente con “nor” la palabra Neither toma función de conjunción, es decir que une dos oraciones. Dado que su significado es negativo en este caso su traducción es “ni”. Por ejemplo:

Neither good nor bad

Ni bueno ni malo

NOTA: La palabra “nor” siempre se utiliza después de “neither” cuando ambos van juntos.

Neither también puede ser utilizado como adjetivo y en este caso su traducción será “ninguno o ninguna”. Por ejemplo:

Neither project was approved

Ningún proyecto fue aprobado
