Throughput in Spanish? When I was learning queueing theory for telecommunications, we used the word throughput, in English. I guess they had the same problem translating it, so they just used the word in English. |

Difference between “oreja” and “oído” @Javi: Yes, and it's also the participle of oír, and something about firearms and explosives. But regarding the difference between oído and oreja, I think the anatomical meanings are just enough. By the way, oreja also means "sentido de la audición", so in that meaning they're just the same. |

Translation of “to wind (a rope, hose, string, cord, etc.)” Bobinar is another one, which means basically "devanar". And arrollar, too. |

What does “haiga” mean? I don't know if this story about the origin of "haiga" as "big car" is true, but it is funny. |

Pregunta sobre pronombre: preguntárnoslas @Cadenza: I meant that "presentárnoslas", to me, sounds like "introduce them to us" not "introduce us to them", which is what the question asked. However, since you introduce people "both ways", it doesn't matter so much. But let's change the verb and use "entregar". Entregárnoslas is "give them to us", but "give us to them"? |

to drink: beber vs. tomar I know it's transitive. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I just wanted to add a typical usage. |

Pregunta sobre pronombre: preguntárnoslas @Javi: yes, but the OP says "us" is the direct object and "her friends" the indirect object. I'll write it in English, to make things clear: "Gabriela does not want to introduce us to her friends". "Presentárnoslas" doesn't match exactly that sentence (by meaning yes, because the introduction is mutual), I think. But maybe it does, according to the link you provide. |

to drink: beber vs. tomar When inviting someone, or asking what they want, tomar is very used, as in "¿qué tomas?" or "¿qué van a tomar?" |

to drink: beber vs. tomar In the first paragraph, you mean "tomar can only be used as transitive", don't you? |

Pregunta sobre pronombre: preguntárnoslas To me, "presentárnoslas" sounds like "introduce them to us", not "introduce us to them", which is what the OP meant. But *presentarlasnos is definitely incorrect. |
