Cultural Tip
In Spanish, the verb ‘dar’ is often used impersonally to talk about the effect of something (e.g., ‘La música da alegría’). No article is needed before ‘consuelo’ or ‘tranquilidad’ because they function as direct objects. In many Latin American countries, ‘tranquilidad’ can also refer to a relaxed lifestyle, so the phrase can be used to praise a laid‑back atmosphere.
