to bringverbSanta trae regalos a los niños la noche de Navidad.Santa brings gifts to children on Christmas Eve.lo siento mucho
I'm very sorryexpressionWhile 'lo siento' literally means 'I feel it', in everyday Latin American Spanish it functions as a fixed apology equivalent to 'I'm sorry', not 'I feel it'. The literal meaning is completely lost in natural use, making it non-compositional for learners who translate word by word.
Lo siento mucho, no fue mi intención lastimarte.I'm very sorry, it wasn't my intention to hurt you.bien portado
well-behavedexpressioncolloquialFrom the reflexive verb 'portarse', this fixed adjectival phrase describes a child's good conduct. Not directly guessable: 'portado' alone carries no clear meaning to a learner without knowing the idiom. Widely used across Latin America when talking about children's behavior.
La maestra dijo que todos los niños estuvieron muy bien portados durante el paseo.The teacher said all the children were very well-behaved during the field trip.travieso
naughty, mischievousadjectiveEl perro es muy travieso y siempre esconde los zapatos.The dog is very mischievous and always hides the shoes.obsequio
