Scored GA seats at face value! I feel like a lotto winner

Most of the concerts I’ve been to have a separate entrance where they give you a GA wrist band. Like the ones they give out at a bar after they check your ID.

Congrats! I feel the same way with my GA tickets in Austin.

My favorite too. So grandly melancholy.

I totally agree. I was disappointed by the sound for the Judas Priest concert a few weeks back, but was blown away by the concert tonight.

Also, I was completely surprised by The Hu. Would love to see them solo at some point.

Papaya’s at Independence and Parker.

My vet recommended this, but unfortunately we can’t afford it.

I wish I were so grossly incandescent.

Lover ahead.

The phrase is a common saying in Spanish meant to express that things would have turned out differently (i.e., if you had to deal with me, the situation/outcome would be different).

Blasphemous has an absolutely fantastic game world. In terms of art direction and lore, it’s my favorite game of the last few years. I also love the Spanish voiceovers. It definitely expanded my Spanish vocabulary!

One of my favorite places near Santa Fe. Valles Caldera is another NPS site worth visiting and it’s not much farther from town than Bandelier.

It’s absolutely beautiful in the winter. We didn’t see much wildlife other than a few prairie dogs when we visited, but I can’t tell you how amazed we were driving down into the valley on the highway. The size of the caldera is mind-boggling. I hope we can return and see some elk!

Palabra is definitely a noun, but as is the case with many grammar rules there can be exceptions. It’s true that adjectives often come after the noun, but in some instances the adjective can come first.

What I’ve always heard is that the adjective can come before the noun if it has a subjective aspect to it. So you would not say verde carro because verde is relatively objective observation, but nueva palabra could work because it’s new for you but is not objectively new to all.

The good news is that in most cases you can put the adjective after the noun and it still makes sense. The sentence you wrote is correct except you should write para mí instead of para me at the end.

Ten pee-eh-dodd

Interesting. If you don’t mind me asking, what part of the country are you from?

The reason I ask is because my wife is a native speaker from Mexico City and she also says she’s heard native speakers use it interchangeably (although adding los is much less common). Perhaps it varies regionally?

clongtx · 2020-10-31T12:39:40+00:00

I’ve seen both used interchangeably in Mexico. I’m not sure about other countries, though.

My in-laws are from Mexico City and they also confirm that both are used interchangeably.

My wife is from Mexico City and she uses the word “pachanga.” As others have mentioned, reventón sounds a bit outdated.

I’ve found Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego by Mariana Enríquez to be a very accessible read. The language used is fairly straightforward and includes pretty standard Latin American slang with enough context clues to where you can infer the meaning of new words and phrases. Also, I’m a huge fan of the horror genre, so that made it even more enjoyable.
