            "Absolutamente nada"<--absolutely nothing?

            Spanish is confusing. Isn't nada "de nada"
            Oh wait...but 'nada' means nothing when people say "Zip. Zilch. Nada."

            CONFUSING

              Spanish Lesson 101:

              nada: nothing

              de nada: you're welcome

              nadie: no one

                LMAO

                Spanish has so many meanings for one word...like say...well, I can't think of an example now, but it's true.

                I didn't know about 'nadie'<--sounds like a name, but it'd be a mean name to give someone.

                I still remember 'sabroso'. Me useth is whenever I can, even if the context doesn't make sense.

                How do you say 'unicorn' in Spanish?

                  I have no idea .

                  Maybe: "el caballo con un cuerno" (horse with one horn )

                    LMFAO!!!

                    el caballo<--I assume this is the cute pony. Are 'pony' & 'horse' separate in Spanish?

                    con=with

                    un=one

                    cuerno=the horn?


                    I love unicorns!!!

                        LoL I'm sure I could say "el caballo con un cuerno" anyways.

                        "unicornio"
                        Oh that is a catchy little jingle.

                        Go write a poem in Spanglish?

                  Literally de nada means "It's nothing"

                    Well. Same thing as "You're welcome". Nearly. Literal translations can be amusing.

                    Si burros los voleran. <--my back-up sentence for everything

    So how do you decide the word range? Sometimes it's 20-70, 20-60, 30-60...now it's 20-40.

        I dunno, but it's better than the beach, which we both know is ghastly for wearing any kind of footwear & just to hang out. I mean, sand is inescapable. Ah!!!

        And so are Speedos. LMAO

        Guess you have a wide range of music you like

          I think people are lazy generally.. don't take the time to look beneath the words... even if it's only to find their own meaning..
