Just a note that, by and large, a literal translation mostly works here as well, although the construction sounds a little English (vs. American) to me. To wit: "They will have gone to bed upon arriving at the hotel because the trip was very long" is perhaps an unusual phrasing in modern conversational (American) English, but certainly not an unintelligible one, and I think it carries the same meaning.
I am confused by this list of words like tener. Is it correct that DETENER means both to stop and arrest? This seems logical. MANTENER seems to mean both maintain and to keep, but what is the distinction between MANTENER and MATENER? Does SOSTENER mean both to support and to maintain? Does it also mean to sustain?
¡Fue tan interesante!
I was sure that this would have been ¡Era tan interesante! Because I thought that the imperfect was used when describing something?
It would be great to provide the meanings of some of the expressions such as higos a brevas and se mantiene en sus trece. Also, I would like to be able slow the speed down as they are speaking a bit fast.
I didn't know you could touch on the words for a translation!
I've only just found out
I don't understand the use of menudo here because it means small and the question uses very often not very small. Can you explain this to me?
It's translated let me tell you. So why isn't there a me before let?
