    <description><![CDATA[First-time visitors to Mexico are often surprised; that basket of delicious-looking rolls and pastries that's sitting on your table when you sit down to a hotel breakfast?  They're not free!  They are, however, delicious.  Today in the big podcast, aspiring Spanish learners will see how to deal with this potentially expensive (but also potentially delicious) situation.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Gracias por su respuesta.</p>
<p>However, I was talking about the item, '<strong>la</strong> boller&iacute;a', not the woman eating it. The same question applies if it were a man eating it - should the one, the 'uno', agree in gender with the noun it replaces, which in this case is feminine, and should therefore be '<strong>una</strong>'..?</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>im sorry i was unclear.</p>
<p>whether it is a woman or&nbsp;una bolleria that does not dictate that any individual part of it should also be feminine</p>
<p>&nbsp;as i understand it a bolleria is a selection of different breads not one thing. i may be wrong.</p>
<p>&nbsp;a panederia is feminine but pan is masculine</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Martyn,</p>
<p>I think bolleria is the breadbasket</p>
<p>No somos comprar las bollerias, solo comprar&iacute;amos pan de diversos tipos</p>
<p>We aren&acute;t buying baskets of bread, we are only buying bread of various types.</p>
<p>pan (bread) is masculine, bollo (sweetroll) is masculine,</p>
<p>paecillo and pancito (roll) are masculine, and bolillo (mexican usage for roll) is masculine.</p>
<p>There may be feminine pastries in the feminine noun - bread basket, but chances are there will be at least one masculine thing and that makes the masculine the proper gender.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>In fact, I think they were referring to the <em>cruasanes</em>, that are masculine. Esti says&nbsp;<em>est&aacute;n aqu&iacute; en la mesa</em>, using plural, while <em>boller&iacute;a</em> is singular.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone!&nbsp; Great question, <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">mpsuk</span></strong>!</p>
<p>"Boller&iacute;a" is a tricky word here, because we don't have an English equivalent.&nbsp; It's a singular word that encompasses the class of things that are personal-sized baked items made from dough meant to accompany your meal.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Spanish, it's a "mass noun," which means it's not usually countable; it's not easily pluralized.&nbsp; In English, the word "Jell-o" behaves in the same way.&nbsp; For example, if you say "Jello isn't free, they're going to charge you for each one."</p>
<p>If you WERE to count "boller&iacute;as" it would usually be an amount too large for Esti to eat at breakfast; e.g., <strong>las boller&iacute;as de Vietnam y de Senegal son pocas conocidas en China</strong>.&nbsp; <span style="color: #666699;">The Vietnamese and Senegalese roll-baking tradtions are not well-known in China.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>It would be too much for Esti to eat her way through an entire roll-making tradition, let alone those of two countries!</p>
<p>So what is the antecedent of "<strong>cada uno</strong> <span style="color: #666699;">each one</span>"&nbsp; in the sentence in the dialog?</p>
<p>If you're in that hotel restaurant, sitting at the table, and you're trying to warn Esti to stop eating the boller&iacute;a, "cada uno" is each item, or each unit... each piece of boller&iacute;a.&nbsp; "Uno" when it means single unit or single item is masculine.&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
