Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
picnic
picnicnoun (masculine)Preparamos sándwiches y frutas para el picnic del domingo.We prepared sandwiches and fruit for Sunday's picnic.reunión de juegos
playdate, play gatheringnoun phrase (feminine)Los niños están muy emocionados con la reunión de juegos de esta tarde.The kids are very excited about this afternoon's playdate.lo mejor
the best (said of a person, used as an affectionate superlative)expressioncolloquialWhen applied to a person rather than a thing, 'eres lo mejor' functions as a warm, emphatic compliment meaning roughly 'you're the greatest' or 'you're amazing.' It goes beyond the literal comparison and signals genuine affection or gratitude between friends.
Le ayudé a mudarse todo el fin de semana y me dijo: —Eres lo mejor, en serio.I helped her move all weekend and she told me: —You're the best, seriously.ya regreso
I'll be right backexpressioncolloquialLiterally 'I already return,' but 'ya' here signals near-future imminence rather than something already completed. This use of 'ya' to mean 'in a moment' or 'soon' is characteristic of Latin American Spanish and can confuse learners who expect 'ya' to mean only 'already' or 'now.'
Espérame aquí, ya regreso con los documentos.Wait for me here, I'll be right back with the documents.sobreexigirse
to overextend oneself, to push oneself too hardverb (reflexive)Trabaja doce horas al día; se está sobreexigiendo sin darse cuenta.She works twelve hours a day; she is overextending herself without realizing it.comprometerse
to commit oneself, to promise to do somethingverb (reflexive)Me comprometí a ayudar en el evento del sábado, así que no puedo faltar.I committed to helping at Saturday's event, so I can't miss it.dejar de lado
to leave out, to exclude, to feel left outverb phraseCuando todos se fueron sin avisarle, ella sintió que la habían dejado de lado.When everyone left without telling her, she felt like she had been left out.de nada
you're welcomeexpressionWhile the literal words mean 'of nothing,' the phrase functions as the standard response to 'gracias' and does not carry its literal meaning at all. Universally used across Latin America in all registers.
—Gracias por traerme el desayuno. —De nada, con mucho gusto.—Thank you for bringing me breakfast. —You're welcome, with pleasure.exhausto
exhaustedadjectiveDespués de tanto correr de un lado al otro, llegó a casa exhausto.After running around so much, he arrived home exhausted.decepcionar
to disappointverbNo quiero decepcionar a mis amigos cuando les prometí algo.I don't want to disappoint my friends when I promised them something.
