Remember Me
Lesson Introduction

Today on the big video podcast, we're reviewing "el pluscuamperfecto," the Spanish pluperfect. We'll take a look at how to form it and when to use it. In addition, Esti will take us through a slide show, and we'll get a chance to guess what had happened, and hear "el pluscuamperfecto" in context.

Las claves siempre son bueno. Me gustan mucho las explicaciones, son muy claro. Gracias. Pero parece que hay más ladrones de comida en spanish pod. Hay evidencia fotográfica de Liliana en la crimen de los papas fritas.

tseanr, tienes razón.  De hecho en el equipo de SpanishPod la única persona inocente del crimen de robar comida a los demás soy yo.  Lili y Leo me roban el tenedor de la mano para comerse mi comida, todo el rato mirándome a los ojos. Y Esti, claro, yo ni me atrevo a comer en su presencia,  ella es tan ladrona...  Y Carmentheintern, ella es la peor...

Que significa “Pito” y porque es con mayúscula. Mi diccionario dice es un silbato o un pene. No entiendo el chiste.

Pito es JP (Jota Pito) Villanueva

It's a long sad story.

tseanr, cobre tiene razón, it's a long, sad story. 

Leo coined "Jotapito" as an affectionate form of "jota pe" two winters ago.  That lasted for about a month or so, and then it started to change to 'pito,' which seems to have stuck.  

A few months ago, Leo started calling me "pita" which is the Greek pocket bread, but the girls wouldn't go along with that, so at work it's still "pito." 

However, around that time is when I started hanging out with the people in my jazz ensemble and their friends, and they caught wind that I was called "pita."  So they still call me that, I think Pedro has it programmed into his phone. 

I also have a collection of teacher nicknames (V, Villi, Mr. V. Big Villy, Señor V, profesor, etc.) and a fraternity nickname from college that will not be shared on the gentle discussion page of SpanishPod.com... :)

Hey everyone!

I like to call JP - Juan Patricio, just to give it that latin touch that goes well with his last name; Villanueva! :D

Zosidel09,

Muchas gracias por tus comentarios tan halagadores! En verdad me has hecho sonrojar! ^_^
