annajo, you should say "un electricista" (it's a masculine noun), unless you're looking for a female electrician, je.

I just wanted to say "thanks" for this program. My family has been studying spanish for awhile now but my daughter has seemed to resist all the way. Today I searched through the programs and this one seemed best for her- we ended up using it ourselves, we made it into a game- 1st with a little flashlight w/o batteries and then w/ a differant word for her nightlight in her room (which I gave her a new light.) In the end...smiles on both of our faces!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS

digame, por favor,hay un diferencia entre ultil y sirve.

By:

khin,

"sirve" means "it works," it's from the verb "servir" (to serve or to function.)

"útil" is an adjective, it means "useful."

Útil is an adjective meaning useful. You can say something like es útil – it is useful.

Sirve is from the verb servir – to serve. So you can say something like no serve – it doesn’t serve (it doesn’t work). See wordreference.com server util

bintou1305, it is correct, well done, you have just a typo, Sirve (with S).

To provide an example using "sirve", I was in a cab in Mexico about to put on my seatbelt, and the cabbie told me "no sirve".

It doesn't seem like seatbelts are the in thing in Mexico. Pues, ni modo!
