    The handkerchief seemed cheap, easily replaced. The woman was unharmed, not even a scratch and most importantly neither was her car, which would allow her to avoid a lot of problems, as many (problems) AS IF she would have run over the woman Hope that helps, so you can see it in context. -Mark

    Por ejemplo, "Hola amor mía". "Es un amigo mío". Mía/mío son adjetivos posesivos y van después del sustantivo.

    It is a fixed expression, so yes the grammar is correct. From the way I see it in this context it means "in regards to the death of.." You see this very commonly when someone dies, but more so in this context- "John can´t get over the death of his father" Which means he is not able to feel better, that the death of his father is still affecting him. Hope that helps, -Mark

    Semantically they are the same (in their meaning) Syntactically (in their form) the emphasis is different. In the first sentence "family" is the most important aspect of the sentence not "success". This makes a lot more sense if this person was already talking about her family and it was added that they are responsable for her success. In the second sentence success is the important word. So she credits her success to her family and if the sentence were to continue she could talk about more things that make her successful ( not just her family) In linguistics word order is very important and it has an effect on the ideas trying to be portrayed, even at a very minute level. Look at the words that follow the verbs, this should help a lot. In the first sentence it is her family and in the second it is success. I hope this helps you understand some of the nuances of your example. -Mark.

    The previous post is very accurate.

    Being in high school from 2001- 2005  I also heard the phrase "You don´t have to lie to kick it". Which means "no tienes que mentir por convivir!".

    Cheers!
