Why “buenas noches” when it's only one night? @Soktra I don't agree. The courtesy expresions are often and widely used, between people that doesn't know each other. A different thing is when there's confidence - then it is like you have exposed (there's a spanish tell "donde hay confianza da asco"). But I could be wrong. I've lived here all my life long and maybe I'm so used to this supposed lack of courtesy that don't see it. |

What would be a good way to express “You can't get something out of nothing”? @Javi true. In these cases it could be replaced by the most common idiom 'pedir peras al olmo' (ask for pears to the elm) |

Best way to translate 'uneducated', meaning lacking formal schooling @Javi: Well, I have never found with this situation. And usually is taken as less offensive as the analfabeto alternative. |

Usage of “mueco” vs. “mellado” for “toothless” That is: 'desdentado' is literally what toothless means. +1 |
