Expressions in Spanish
Hi everyone!
I have been looking for how can I say some typical Spanish expressions in English<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">,</s> and I have discovered many expressions that do not have <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">not</s> a translation, but are very useful, <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">and</s> others are funny. I will put some of them here:
Botellón - It doesn't have a translation
In Spain this word means when people, typically young people, meet in a public space, like a park, or in a house to drink alcohol and have a good time.
Hablando del rey de Roma - Speaking of the devil
I don't know if Latin people use this expression, but here it is used when you are speaking about someone and that person shows up.I find it funny translating "rey de Roma" as "devil".
Salir rana - To backfire
To say to backfire is not "Salir rana", I was looking for a translation and this is the best translation I have found, but it<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">s</s> really means "salir el tiro por la culata", another expression in Spanish.
La de la verguenza - It doesn't have a translation
It<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">s</s> means is the last piece of food left on a shared plate, it is often used when we meet with our friends or family and choose/decide who eats it. Sometimes nobody eats that piece out of shame.
Do you know other<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">s </s>expressions like this?
Thank you so much for your corrections!
