Which makes more sense: "yo toco el violin" or "yo toco un violin?"

Answer #1

The first one. Basically ‘cause while you do play one single violin, the qualities of playing it isn’t exclusive to that one, you can play the same with a different violin.

Hopefully that’s not too confusing :)

Answer #2

Like what Might Mig said, the first one is “I play the violin” which makes more sense, rather than “I play a violin”. Because you play it in general, not really a specific one.

Answer #3

Oooh thank you! I get it now!
