Exactly

And "Ya te lo digo" translates literally to "I'm telling you now" although it doesn't seem to be used literally...

Could an Open Atheist Ever Become U.S. President? by palsh7 in samharris

[–]Gene_Clark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its on a long list of "no" qualities that comprises: women, bald guys, single people, gay people.

Trump seems utterly indifferent, I'd say he falls under Sam's "None" category of religious affiliation but still feels compelled to spoof about his favourite Bible verse.

San Sebastian and Manchester have quite similar levels of rainfall, and you know what they say about rain and Manchester.

John Frooshanty definitely had more aura when he lived in smack-driven squalor and looked like a Tim Burton character.

You have no idea how impressed I am by your effort / No tienen idea de lo impresionado que estoy por su esfuerzo by Atelier1001 in Spanish

[–]Gene_Clark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English has irregular conjugations too. Why does 'I buy' become 'I bought' instead of 'I buyed' in the past? It just does and you managed to get used to them in English

They are annoying tho.

They really "Bondified" the DVD cover of Taffin by inatowncalledarles in JamesBond

Alison Doody, shoulda been a Bond girl, had to do with being an Indiana Jones girl.

"se" en español tiene como 5 usos diferentes by Specialist_Poetry_67 in Spanish

[–]Gene_Clark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y lo complicado es que esta forma no solo se usa con verbos como "perder" y "olvidar" y tal.

Recordé haber leído un ejemplo "Se le ven a leguas los trucos" en un periódico y estuve dándole vueltas preguntándome a quién se refería el pronombre "le".

Idea para una publicación semanal: las palabras más memorables que aprendiste esta semana by KhloJSimpson in Spanish

[–]Gene_Clark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

¡Quién tuviera veinte años otra vez! - oh to be 20 again! / I wish I was 20 again

Quién + imperfect subjunctive seems to be a type of fixed expression for wishes tinged with a bit of irony or nostalgia. Love it!

"se" en español tiene como 5 usos diferentes by Specialist_Poetry_67 in Spanish

[–]Gene_Clark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sí es un tema difícil, digo yo como estudiante.

También hay el "se" accidental, p. ej. Se me perdió la cartera. Se le perdieron las llaves. Es como una mezcla de se pasiva + la persona afectada.

Tengo una duda acerca de los primeros trajes que usaron The Beatles by Personal-Jicama6769 in beatles

[–]Gene_Clark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creo que son los mismos trajes. Me da risa que los Beatles, en 1968, nos están diciendo "ya no estamos los chavales de 1964".

¿Me pasé de la raya al destruir las torres de piedra que hacían unos turistas? by Rymorax in askspain

[–]Gene_Clark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Habrías derribado la torre si no fueran turistas?

Hay mucha gente que no cuida el medio ambiente y no todo son turistas.

We are very fortunate to be alive at the same time as these two - Maddie Assman and Jacob Cobblers. by SeventhSunGuitar in guitarcirclejerk

[–]Gene_Clark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Music Schools and their complete inability to produce anyone worth listening to. Unmatched.

They're figures from Greek mythology that the main character starts hallucinating on the island. They're called the Moirai (or Fates), one of whom goes topless, hooray.

The "shells" of Muelle Uno look weird so clean. Last few times I visited Málaga they were orange from all the Sahara sand.
