...bien parada...

Question

Buenas tardes Silvia ( o Inma),

I answered this Kwiziq test today:

Tú saldrías bien parada de tu divorcio". In contexto here, does it mean 'alright' as in 'well-off financially'?

Can it be used with other meanings? I haven't seen this before... but I really love finding new words/phrases/idioms to add to my big notebook! Which I have to say is not a digital notebook, since I find that I register and remember things much better if I actually write pen to paper. Perhaps it's an 'age thing' jajaja!

Gracias de antemano 😊

Hola Clara M.
In this context, “salir bien parada” means to come out of a situation in a good or favourable way. It does not necessarily refer to being “well-off financially,” although that could be one interpretation depending on the situation.
More broadly, it means that despite the circumstances, the person ends up in a good position, unharmed, or not as badly affected as expected.
This expression can be used in many contexts, not just financial ones.
For example:
Salió bien parado del accidente. → He came out of the accident without major injuries.
La empresa salió bien parada tras la crisis. → The company emerged from the crisis in a strong position.
Saliste bien parada de ese examen. → You did well / You came out of it better than expected.
It’s a great expression to add to your notebook, as it’s widely used and quite versatile.
If you’d like more examples or similar expressions, just let me know.
Saludos,Silvia

Hi Clara M. and Marcos R.
That’s a great question, and you’re absolutely right to raise it 👍
At the moment, the Kwiziq notebook is designed as a curated learning tool, which means it lets you save links to lessons, competencies, exercises, and other system content, but it doesn’t yet support adding free-text personal notes.
Many learners do exactly what you’re trying to do—capture insights, patterns, or reminders alongside those links—so this is very valuable feedback. While personal notes aren’t currently possible inside the notebook itself, a good workaround for now is to keep a separate document (or notes app) where you paste the Kwiziq links and add your own explanations or examples.
We’ve shared this kind of feedback with the product team before, and it’s definitely something being considered for future improvements.
Thanks for taking the time to ask and for engaging so thoughtfully with the material and happy learning!
¡Feliz Navidad!
Silvia

How do we add a note like this to our notebook?  I see how to add links to different lessons, but not how to add our own notes.

Hola Marcos,

The Kwiziq notebook is great for adding links as you say. I do agree with you though...that it would be nice if we could write our own personal notes. Maybe it will become a feature in the future.

Saludos y que tengas una Feliz Navidad
