I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

Let's learn several new nouns, including the words for decision, sign, answer, and appointment. To begin with,

0:26.1

here are some nouns you'll use to refer to information you might receive. The word for news is

0:32.3

noticia, a feminine noun. For example, I heard the news yesterday.

0:42.7

Now, you'll use the singular, La Noticia or Una Noticia, specifically if you're talking about one piece of information.

Concejo, is going to be singular if you're giving one piece of advice,

2:09.6

or plural, if you're talking about a larger amount of advice.

2:14.1

For example, I have a piece of advice for you.
