Aang returns from the spirit world to a big surprise. Meanwhile, Zhao and his forces continue to press deeper into the Northern Water Tribe. Iroh makes a powerful stand and Zuko struggles to keep his plan intact.
A fixed idiomatic phrase. The literal words mean 'to give oneself as defeated', but in use it simply means to stop trying or quit. Very common in everyday speech.
The phrase 'le debo la vida' (I owe my life to...) is a fixed expression of deep gratitude. The construction 'deber la vida' is idiomatic because 'deber' here carries moral debt, not financial debt.
Used to dismiss someone's effort as pointless before they even try. Stronger and more dismissive than a simple negative command.
When used without a physical object, 'armarse' signals that something unplanned and chaotic has erupted. The meaning cannot be predicted from 'armar' (to assemble) alone.
