Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.

hillnoun (f)Desde la colina se puede ver todo el pueblo al atardecer.From the hill you can see the whole town at sunset.nunca digas nunca
never say neverexpressionA fixed encouraging phrase used to push back against hopelessness. Repeated in this episode as a motivating refrain. Its force in context goes beyond the literal meaning: it functions as a prompt to keep trying rather than just a statement about the future.
Pensé que no aprobaría el examen, pero mi mamá me dijo: nunca digas nunca.I thought I wouldn't pass the exam, but my mom told me: never say never.flojo
looseadjectiveUno de los tornillos de la silla está flojo y hay que ajustarlo.One of the chair's screws is loose and needs to be tightened.almohada
pillownoun (f)Puse la nota debajo de la almohada para no olvidarla en la mañana.I put the note under the pillow so I wouldn't forget it in the morning.línea de llegada
finish lineexpressionStandard fixed sports term in Latin American Spanish for the finish line of a race. Compositionally it could seem guessable, but llegada in this sense (arrival point in a competition) is not the everyday meaning of arrival and may mislead learners who know llegada only as airport arrivals or similar.
El corredor cruzó la línea de llegada con los brazos en alto.The runner crossed the finish line with his arms raised.hacer memoria
to try to remember / to rack one's brainexpressioncolloquialA fixed phrase that means actively trying to recall something. The noun memoria here functions idiomatically; hacer is not simply a physical action. Used across Latin America in everyday conversation when someone is prompted to think back.
Haz memoria, ¿dónde pusiste el control remoto antes de salir?Try to remember, where did you put the remote before you left?en sus marcas
on your marksexpressionPart of the race start sequence en sus marcas, prepárense, salida, the Latin American Spanish equivalent of 'on your marks, get set, go.' The full sequence is a culturally fixed formula; each segment alone may not signal its function to learners unfamiliar with it.
El árbitro gritó: en sus marcas, prepárense, y los atletas se tensaron.The referee shouted 'on your marks, get set,' and the athletes tensed up.empate
tie / draw (in a competition)noun (m)El partido terminó en empate, así que ambos equipos comparten el trofeo.The match ended in a tie, so both teams share the trophy.
