teething, dentitionnoun (feminine)La bebé llora mucho porque está en plena dentición.The baby cries a lot because she is right in the middle of teething.darle la bienvenida
to welcome someone (as a fixed social ritual, not just a greeting)expressionWhile the words are individually simple, the phrase functions as a fixed social formula for formally or ceremonially welcoming someone to a place or community. It implies intentional action, such as visiting, bringing gifts, or organizing an event, beyond a simple greeting.
Los compañeros del trabajo organizaron una fiesta para darle la bienvenida a la nueva gerente.Her coworkers organized a party to welcome the new manager.echar los dientes
to be teething, to cut teethexpressioncolloquialThe verb echar here means 'to put out' or 'to sprout'. The phrase is not guessable from the individual words for most learners because echar in this sense is non-literal. Widely used across Latin American Spanish in everyday conversation about babies.
La niña está muy llorona porque está echando los dientes.The little girl is very fussy because she is teething.niñera
babysitter, nannynoun (feminine)Contratamos a una niñera para que cuide a los gemelos mientras trabajamos.We hired a babysitter to look after the twins while we work.sentirse fuera de lugar
to feel out of place, to feel like you don't belongexpressioncolloquialA fixed idiomatic expression. The literal translation 'feel outside of place' does not map cleanly onto English or convey the emotional meaning, making it non-transparent to learners.
Cuando llegué a la fiesta sin conocer a nadie, me sentí completamente fuera de lugar.When I arrived at the party without knowing anyone, I felt completely out of place.berrinche
tantrum, fit (especially in children)noun (masculine)El niño hizo un berrinche en la tienda porque no le compraron dulces.The boy threw a tantrum in the store because they didn't buy him candy.discapacidad
