Quieres jugar what does that mean

In standard Spanish jugar is intransitive. Ohh now i get it because apparently 'al' meant when, to, or to the. Jugar is usually used as an intransitive verb, and when you talk about playing a sport or a game, you'll add the preposition a. Josh, when a verb is intransitive, it means that it doesn't take direct objects. For Spanish that specifically means that any object it does take must be accompanied by a preposition since only direct objects are preposition-free. I am not sure why jugar is intransitive or why it takes the a.

It doesn't make any meaningful sense in Spanish and that's likely also the reason why the a is being dropped in colloquial speech. It's a bit like "listening to something" in English, where it also doesn't make any logical sense to add the "to". You cannot translate the a as "to" here, unfortunately. Here are plenty of examples. As someone outside the US, I'm low-key getting annoyed at how I have to learn American terms because some British terms aren't accepted for like, reasons?

Could you give an example? As an American, I might just be naive, but I would sometimes accidentally translate futbol into football instead of soccer, and Duolingo has always accepted it. Sometimes I wonder if Duolingo is just for Americans and mire except British people because color in British is spelt with a 'u' between the o and r so I think when you start using the app it should ask you what country you came for so people like me don't have to experience the problem again.

Thanks x. Donating gems to support this is greatly affectionate. I wish it would accept when I mindlessly type "football" instead of insisting on soccer. Afterall, everywhere except North America calls it football. Gets me everytime!!

I find it so frustrating that you have to use soccer when the word is clearly football! I want to play with the new human. Hola, Xavier, quiero jugar a un juego. Hello, Xavier. I want to play a game.
