Como dice el dicho: ¡El que puede,puede! ja ja ja....
Es cierto que en nuestra cultura son normales los cumplidos,además de que gustan mucho dan motivación.
En inglés decimos "If you got it, flaunt it"
Bien dicho rodney!
Marco no tengo el ego TAN grande! jajajaja
Hmm...
¿Eres coqueta también Lily?
Lili?? Una coqueta?? nawww ja ja
Si haces cumplidos por aqui, concluirán que:
Te burlas de ellos
Quieres prestar dinero
Intentas vender algo
Eres un hombre verde
round here if you compliment people they will conclude that.
you are mocking them,
you want to borrow money
you are trying to sell something
you are a dirty old man
Quieres prestar dinero = You want to lend money.
Quieres pedir dinero prestado = You want to borrow money.
"Eres un hombre verde" = Eres un viejo verde!
gracias marco. i knew it was something like that. but didnt have time to check this morning.
No problem! That's what we are here for!
¡Mami, estás deliciosa!
Jaja, Marco, ¡que loco estás!
Tengo unas preguntitas...
¿Chula es igual que mona?
Y en una manera despectivo, ¿esa mona es iqual que esa vieja?
Hola Rodney
Chula es igual que mona,en el buen sentido de la palabra.
Y usando la forma despectiva de ¨esa mona¨ te diría que también se puede decir ¨esa vieja¨
Rodney
Un consejito , no uses mucho este tipo de frase de Marco ja ja ja.. no queremos que te pase nada. ;)
Jaja, buen consejos Yenny. Pero no te preocupes, soy caballero.
¡Lo sabemos querido rodneyp! Nos has dado muestras de ello. ;)
Hola a todos! Can someone give me an example of how to use lucir in a sentence? it's in the vocab list at the end of the dialogue, but I thought it meant something other than 'to look' and I don't have a clue how to use it!!! Is it the same as verse? 'Luces guapeton'? (As opposed to lucir la television)? Gracias!!!! Jennie
Jenlel
it looks like its to look as in to appear not to stare
heres some girly links
no luzco elegante en ropa interior
Luciendo su músculo cuerpo
Luce como una estrella, maquíllate tu misma
Como cuidar tus pies para que luzcan increíbles
Just started to teach myself Spanish. Here is a little help with English. To complement is to cause to make something else better as in: Your shoes are a nice complement to your dress. To compliment is to say something nice for example: Your shoes look very nice.
These are good examples of the difficulty in learning english.
Kwdleo
Thanks for the explanation :)
kwdieo,
compl-E-ment, es como se usa en la matemática geométrica, es el pedazo que si se anadas al resto, él completa la figura.
compl-E-ment, is like the use in mathematics (geometry) it is the part that if you add it to the rest, completes the figure.
Please excuse me, I feel out of my league here!
Now that I am attempting to learn Spanish, i realize that I do not understand my English either!!
I understand 'complement' more in the context of the right wine 'complementing' a fine dish, or the correct seasoning 'complementing' the flavour.
However....I now wonder why a small free gift, such as perhaps a chocolate on the pillow (in a hotel) is called a 'compliment'? It is 'complimentary', but not a flattering appraisal of the guest (or is it?)
belavar
That is right. It means 'complimentary'.
Your English looks great to me!
