- Todos los comentarios anteriores tienen puntos válidos, pero me gustaría hacer notar otro punto del dicho: es "en la casa del jabonero". Es decir, el dicho se usa en ciertas circunstancias en las que las probabilidades de cometer un error son mayores. Si uno enfrenta situaciones difíciles, es más probable que cometa un error. Por ser seres humanos tendemos a pensar que a nosotros no nos pasará lo que les pasa a los demás y podríamos actuar o expresarnos de una manera que refleje eso. En lo personal, opino que el dicho es una advertencia, quien dice el dicho está advirtiendo a otra persona en contra de hablar o actuar de forma temeraria, indicando que no piensa que le puedan ocurrir las desgracias ajenas, que por cualquier razón es inmune a lo que les pasa a los demás. El dicho le recuerda a quien lo escucha que él/ella TAMBIÉN está en una "casa del jabonero" y que puede caer en cualquier momento. Esa es mi opinión.0 votedMay 19, 20190
- It depends on the register you want to use. See, as with English, Spanish has standard, nice and "bad" ways of calling parts of the human body. Also, you need to take into account the Spanish variant you want to use (we have many "valid" versions). Having said that, you may use these medium register (standard language) options for "butt": Culo (Spain) Nalgas (México, this is a legit term with medium register, but people in Mexico always seem to find it funny for some reason. 95% of the time I would not use this one.) Trasero (México, better term in Mexico. People of all walks of life will understand it and is 100% harmless. I will use this term 95% of the time.) In other countries... it will be better if people will comment on that. :)0 votedMay 19, 20190
Hello, hmmm, I guess people say that Mexicans are very happy, always siging and eating in big "fiestas". I have traveled a lot and I think people see my nation as open hearted, honest and hard working. If you can put up with our being late everywhere, our being fat and our being too attached to our mothers, I guess we would make good friends. :P
0 votedJanuary 26, 20120- I agree with the first comment from Alia Valid options in Mexico: 1.- Me pongo nerviosa cuando tu gritas 2.- Me pongo nerviosa cuando gritas (without the pronoun "tu", which is understood) 3.- Me pone nerviosa que grites 4.- Tus gritos me ponen nerviosa 5.- Tus gritos me ponen de nervios Now, you could actually find constructions like: 1.- Tus gritos me han vuelto nervioso 2.- Me he vuelto nervioso debido a tus gritos and those would be correct, but rather too complex and as Alia mentioned, the use of "volverse" implies a rather more permanent state than the word "ponerse". Something that could help understand these verbs better is their origin. "Ponerse" comes from "Poner" which means "To place/put something on something else" if you can put something somewhere this means you can actually put it somewhere else too, so is not permanent. "Volverse" in the other hand comes from "volver" which according to the free dictionary has among other meannings: "To transform something or to make it change its shape or state" therefore implies a more permanent change. http://es.thefreedictionary.com/volver I hope this helps0 votedJanuary 26, 20121
