Hey elementaries!

So the question for the day is: ¿What do you hate the most?

¿Qué es lo que mas odias?

Yo odio los frijoles dulces, el mal olor de pies y los hombres que golpean a sus mujeres.

I hate sweet beans, foot odors and men who hit their wives.

Hola Spanishpod!

Yo odio personas que tiran basura en lugares publicos (en verdad, es la basura, no las personas que yo odio). Tambien, yo odio pistolas paralizantes y cafe diluido.

I hate people that litter (in truth, it's the trash, not the people I hate). Also, I hate stun guns and weak coffee.

Please correct my errors. Thanks!

Yo no odio muchas cosas. Creo que el odio trae mal Karma y naci a aun mas el odio. Entonces estoy usualmente muy apacible, pero yo odio los gentes quien les duelen otras personas o niños.

I don't hate many things. I believe that hatred brings bad karma and birth to even more hatred. So I'm usually pretty mellow, but I do hate people who hurt other people or children.

Odio las resacas, y lo peor es que yo tengo la culpa de todo. Odio los frijoles dulces también.

Lili's comment about a t-shirt being called a playera peeked my interest.  I always thought a t-shirt was called a camiseta, but a quick search reveals that's not the case.

Read this thread at WordReference.com for all the details (most of which is written in Spanish). 

http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=506287

But in short...

 "Camiseta" se refiera a algo así como "undershirt", o "tank top", y playera a "t-shirt"

camiseta = undershirt, pero
playera (Mexico) = polera (Chile) = remera (Argentina) = T-shirt

 This now peaks my curiosity as to what sweatshirts, polo shirts, short-sleeve shirts (with collar and buttons) are called???

Lastly, since we're talking about laundry, maybe we could get the vocabulary for washing powder (and liquid), bleach, clothes basket and of course, the dryer.

Here is a newbie lesson with a lot of that vocabulary.

Doing the Laundry

Las palabras - jabón, detergente, cloro, lavadora, y secadora, si su ve que los se pueden encontrar allí.

The words - soap, detergent, bleach, washing machine, and dryer , if you look you can find them there.

corrections welcome.

The sentence in the expanded section, 'Lavaste el cochera ayer'. Why not, Lavas el cochera, I thought lavaste made it reflexive and would mean 'did you wash yourself'? Thanks

lavaste is the 2nd person preterit form of lavar i.e. "you washed." i.e. it IS lavar and not lavarse which, you are correct, means to wash oneself

lavas el cochera ayer would be "you wash (present tense) it yesterday" 
interestingly you can use the present for the future lo lavas mañana (you(ll) wash it tomorrow?" but not the past.

The reflexive would be

Te lavas – you wash yourself

Te lavaste – you washed youself.

I think, spanishlearners meant,

"How can one consider himself a MAN (cultural imperative implied) and hit a woman."

From what I have seen, domestic abuse can sink just as abysmally in either direction.  Consideration and respect go a long way.

Estoy de aquerdo, bate_vane


Mi consejo es no odia!
El odio, que ciega; y quando una encuentre alguin que se merece odio, es un tiempo para no estar cegar.

Es cierto el abuso domestico es de hombres y mujeres.

Estoy de acuerdo no hay que odiar, mas bien la palabra seria "detesto". Odio es una palabra muy fuerte!
