Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
primo/prima
cousinnoun (m./f.)Mi prima vive en otra ciudad, pero nos vemos cada verano.My cousin lives in another city, but we see each other every summer.vacaciones
vacation, holidaynoun (f. pl.)Mis padres están planeando las vacaciones de verano desde enero.My parents have been planning the summer vacation since January.empacar

motorboat, small boatnoun (f.)Cruzamos el lago en una lancha pequeña porque no había puente.We crossed the lake in a small motorboat because there was no bridge.¿verdad?
right?, isn't it?, don't you think?expressionUsed as a tag question or confirmation-seeker at the end of a statement. Unlike English tag questions, which change form based on the main verb, '¿verdad?' is a single invariable tag that works with any sentence. Very frequent in Latin American conversational Spanish.
Hace mucho calor hoy, ¿verdad?It's really hot today, right?adivina qué
guess whatexpressioncolloquialA conversational opener used to build suspense before sharing news or a surprise. Functions as a fixed discourse marker. 'Adivinar' means 'to guess', but the phrase as a whole is a social ritual opener, not a literal instruction.
Adivina qué, nos dieron el día libre mañana en la oficina.Guess what, they gave us the day off tomorrow at the office.aterrizar
to land (aircraft)verbDespués de doce horas de vuelo, por fin aterrizamos en la ciudad.After twelve hours of flight, we finally landed in the city.azafata
flight attendant (female)noun (f.)La azafata nos explicó cómo abrocharnos el cinturón de seguridad.The flight attendant explained to us how to fasten our seatbelts.la pasamos fantástico
we had a fantastic timeexpressioncolloquialUses 'pasar' in the sense of 'to spend time' or 'to have (a good/bad time)', a core Latin American idiomatic use. 'Pasarla + adjective/adverb' is the productive pattern: 'la pasé increíble', 'la pasamos genial'. The verb 'pasar' alone does not signal this meaning.
La pasamos fantástico en la fiesta de cumpleaños de tu hermana.We had a fantastic time at your sister's birthday party.
