Apr 12	comment	Linguistic Use of Spanish Characters Keyboard Layout @MikMik Qué interesante. No lo sabía. ¿Tienes alguna referencia?
Mar 7	comment	How would you translate the word “badass” to Spanish? I don't think cabrón is a good translation, though. Chingón comes a lot closer, but still misses the mark, and in any case it's only an adjective whereas badass is both an adjective and a noun.
Mar 7	comment	How would you translate the word “badass” to Spanish? These only cover some of badass' meanings. It can have a more positive sense too, vaguely along the lines of "impressive" or "admirable" while retaining a tinge of rebelliousness. For instance, when I told my brother that I was thinking of moving to Mexico City he said, "that would be badass." Which is to say, it's very likely that, just as there's no one word equivalent in English to güey, there isn't one in Spanish for badass either. (I'd like to find out if there is, though.)

Mar 2	comment	¿Cuál es el significado de “órale” y su origen? I really have no idea whether órale comes from orar, ahora, or something else entirely, but until someone provides sources, anyone remotely serious will be forced to conclude that you're all just making stuff up.

Jan 11	comment	¿Por qué se usa el subjuntivo en esta frase? Y pensándolo más, me parece que podríamos decir que este uso del subjuntivo está fuera de lugar en el periodismo y más generalmente en los textos dirigidos a las masas, pero en una colección de textos grecolatinos no hay ningún problema en usar este arcaísmo.
Jan 11	comment	¿Por qué se usa el subjuntivo en esta frase? Interesante, gracias. Entonces podemos reemplazar "fuera" con "había sido". Y supongo que nunca (¿o muy infrecuentemente?) veremos una frase semejante pero con "fuese".
