eclipsenoun (m)El eclipse solar total solo se pudo ver desde unas pocas regiones del país.The total solar eclipse could only be seen from a few regions of the country.estar de tu lado
to be on your sideexpressionWhile the individual words are transparent, this fixed phrase functions as a loyalty declaration in confrontational contexts and appears repeatedly here as a key persuasion formula. Its pragmatic force (pledging allegiance under suspicion) is not purely compositional.
No te preocupes, aunque los demás dudan de ti, yo siempre estoy de tu lado.Don't worry, even if others doubt you, I'm always on your side.taladro
drill, boring machinenoun (m)El taladro industrial atravesó la roca en menos de una hora.The industrial drill broke through the rock in less than an hour.figuras
figurehead (when used as 'solo una figura')expressionIn this usage, 'figura' shifts from its literal meaning of 'figure/shape' to describing someone who holds a title but no real power. The non-compositional meaning (powerless symbol) is not deducible from the base word alone.
El presidente era solo una figura; todas las decisiones las tomaba el consejo.The president was just a figurehead; all decisions were made by the council.marioneta
puppet (a person controlled by someone else)expressioncolloquialLiterally 'marionette/puppet', but when applied to a person it means someone manipulated or controlled by another party. This metaphorical use carries a strong insulting or accusatory tone in political or power contexts.
Todo el mundo sabía que el nuevo director era una marioneta del consejo de administración.Everyone knew the new director was a puppet of the board of directors.
