Tengo 45 primos!
Bajo ningun concepto puedo batir ese récord! Tengo 5, todo de una familia. Cual de nosotros usarios puede?
There's no way (under no circumstances) I can beat that record. I have 5, all from one family. Which of us users can? (and help with the Spanish would be appreciated - hypersport - you there????)
Tengo 19 primos. 45? Wow and I thought I had a lot!
Someone once told me that "esposo" also means "handcuffs". Is that true?
Hola hazelreid,
Esposas = handcuffs (fem. plural)
Esposar = to put in handcuffs
It would be good to mention grandparents: abuelo y abuela.
Buena idea. Abuelo, abuela y tatarabuelo y tatarabuela !
¡Tengo solamente una prima! Mi padre tuvo una hermana, y mi prima es la hija única. Mi madre fue una hija única. Yo tengo dos hermanos y seis sobrinos.
I have only one cousin! My father had one sister, my cousin is the only child. My mother was an only child. I have two brothers, and six nephews and nieces.
Hola
Yo tengo 35 primos! Hahahahaha
Tengo un hermano y 5 medios hermanos. Tengo 4 sobrinos. No tengo abuelos, todos fallecieron. Adoro a mi familia!
I have 35 cousins!
I have one brother and 5 half brothers and sisters. 4 nephews and nieces. I don't have grandparents, they passed away. I love my family!
Tengo solo una tia que sobreviva. Es la gemela de mi madre. Ellas tienen ochente y seis años. Solo tengo un hermano y dos sobrinas. Una que habla el español y ha estudiaba al Universidad de Guadalahara.
I have only one surviving aunt. She is the twin of my mother. They are eighty-six. I have only one brother and two nieces. One that speaks Spanish and has studied at The University of Guadalahara.
Tengo solo una tia que sobrevivE. Es la gemela de mi madre. Ellas TIENE ochente y seis años. Solo tengo un hermano y dos sobrinas. Una que habla español y ha estudiADO al Universidad de GUADALAJARA.
Unos pequeños cambios.
Lili:
Gracias por las correcciones, pero tengo unas preguntas. Las gemelas tienen ochente y seis años, no?
I know i should not have used ha with the imperfect, my bad.
I assume it would be correct to say-- Yo estudiaba español al SpanishPod. since this is a continuing action.
Is it also correct to use estudiaba when speaking of Kari, mi sobrina, on the basis that though the action is past it remains important in the present, she still speaks Spanish and still is learning; or does the fact that the two semesters she studied there were definite time periods that ended trump that?
and yes, I know better about Guadalajara, but the sign on the restaurant on the corner has an H in it so that we gringos say it right. I have been brainwashed.
Tengo diez hermanas y tres hermanos de mismo madre, quince sobrinas, diez y ocho sobrinos, por lo menos veinte primos primas materno y paterno.
Estoy orgulloso de la reunion de mi familia extendida.
Increíble! Tienes una familia numerosa!
Yo no tengo una familia numerosa, solo tengo 3 primos.

Hola, soy hablante nativo de español y quisiera ayudarles a resolver dudas.
Con respecto a esta lección, la escuché y es muy útil, porque en el mundo hispano parlante la familia es muy importante.
Acerca de mi familia, es muy pequeña, ni siquiera tengo sobrina ni hermano :P
Well i would like to help you all by resolving doubts and questions. Its very important to learn how to introduce people and every member of family.
I would like to add that tough im not from spain but from latin america. I ve heard many times in spanish tv or informally they say tío , tía refering to a guy or a woman.
For example : Este tío sabe mucho
Literally: This uncle knows a lot
Translation: This guy knows a lot
In latin america we say "este tipo" and even in Chile we say "Este gallo", " Esta galla" but its very informal.
I hope that this post might help you all :P
Andrés
Gallo formally means Rooster, but that´s how we say it in Chile.
There are other expressions like "cuate" wich belongs to mexico :P
hola todos! (or is it 'a todos??'). i'm new here, just wanted to say hello y tengo 16 primos
