Nothing particularly significant happened to me today. Law class was really interesting because we talked about evolution of a human rights perspective in the visual arts. Then I had an excellent piece of chocolate cake and walked around. Salsa got cancelled because of a karate tornament.Then I came home and wrote in spanish about how the Americas developed differently due to the way their institutions developed to exploit "endogenous factors". Pretty riveting day.
So, I'm dedicating today's post to words again, I've learned a bunch today.
Mala cueva- bad luck. Synonym to mala pata, mala racha, or the standard "Español 2" mala suerte
And probably a bunch more.
desquisiado- completely out of control, mad, crazy, unhinged
cancelar- often used to mean "pay for"
suspendido- cancelled. ie "La clase de salsa está suspendido hasta el martes."
Suspender can also mean adjourned, called off, withdraw, put off or to hung from, depending on context.
la calcomanía- sticker or decal
la dulce de membrillo- quince jam in a block shape. At least I think it's quince, not totally sure. Also, it totally tastes mostly the same and has the same consistency as guava jelly, so that's confusing too.
el murciélago- bat. rawr. Gettin’ ready for halloween.
la lechona- Argentine word meaning piglet. the food, not the pooh character.
escalofriante- shocking, incredible, horrifying.
los escalofríos- shivers
percatarse- to notice
las migas- layers of a sandwich ie pan de miga- doesn’t exactly translate.
There’s a sandwich shop near my house called “Entre Migas” which is punny: Between friends or between layers. JAJAJA.
