And Hostia, has never been F**k, not as far as I amconcerned anyway. And I am not half Spanish, I am Spanish. http://es.thefreedictionary.com/ostras Sorry for confusing your 'feet in both camps' with being half and half;-)You are clearly bilingual, but sometimes you do seem to speed read and not catch the full meaning before you answer JL XXX:D |

That would be why you didn't quite understand when I said it's *like* saying Fe*K instead of *****. I didn't compare saying the F word with saying Hostia.

No, They are used for the same word. That was my point exactly.

I have never heard it said like that ostras yes, but then my lot are heathens and dyslexic ones to boot, they dont believe in DOG, so it would not bother them saying the "sacred Pringle word" at all.

That’s the trouble with having a Spanish teacher with a Catalan bent, you get confused. I just spoke to her, politely, and she said, ‘Toma por gulo.’

No offence but if you dont know your culo from gulo, I think you should go down a different route, so to speak...... toma y daca ......................that is what your teacher was trying to say. |

I was talking to a Spanish gardener yesterday who had killed one of my palm trees and couldn’t think of the word for beetle, or beatle, the red ones that kill palm trees. So I called out the gran jefa to help, and for once she was stumped too, just like the poor tree. |

Bonvonen al esperanto http://www.esperanto.es/hef/index.php A good idea in theory, but hs it causght on, has anyone on this forum ever heard it spoken? Would it be used in meetings in Brussels? |

I think you’re wrong. My verbal Spanish is quite good although I sometimes get mixed up with Moroccan when speaking to lookie lookie men, I only get confused when I write it down.

. Btw, none of the "looky looky men" are Moroccan. It is very easily to tell. Moroccans have white, greyish or olive coloured skin, dark hair and North african characteristics. Which the lookie lookie men are sub-Saharan Africans with almost black skin, black wirey hair etc |
