Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
hibernar
to hibernateverbLos osos polares no hibernan de la misma manera que los osos pardos.Polar bears do not hibernate in the same way as brown bears.perder
to miss (an event), to loseverbNo quiero perder el concierto de este sábado; saqué mis entradas con meses de anticipación.I don't want to miss this Saturday's concert; I bought my tickets months in advance.quedarse dormido
to fall asleep (unintentionally), to doze offexpressioncolloquialIn everyday Latin American Spanish this phrase specifically implies falling asleep without meaning to, often at an inconvenient moment. The reflexive construction with quedarse signals an unintended result, which is distinct from simply ir a dormir (going to sleep on purpose).
Me quedé dormido en el sofá viendo la tele y amanecí con el cuello tieso.I dozed off on the sofa watching TV and woke up with a stiff neck.ya sé
I've got it, I know what to doexpressioncolloquialBeyond its literal meaning of 'I already know', ya sé functions as a conversational marker signaling a sudden idea or solution, similar to 'I know!' or 'Got it!' in English. The ya adds immediacy and enthusiasm that sé alone would not carry.
Ya sé cómo llegar al centro sin agarrar el tráfico de la tarde.I know how to get downtown without hitting the afternoon traffic.mantenerse despierto
to stay awake, to keep oneself awakeverb phraseTomé un café para mantenerse despierto durante la película de noche.I had a coffee to stay awake during the late-night movie.me toca
it's my turnexpressioncolloquialUses tocar in its turn-taking sense, very common in Latin American Spanish among children and adults alike. The verb tocar here has nothing to do with touching; it signals whose turn or lot something is. Highly frequent in games, queues, and shared activities.
Ya jugaste dos veces seguidas, ahora me toca a mí.You have already played twice in a row; now it is my turn.dormilón
sleepyhead, someone who sleeps a lotadjective/nounMi hermano menor es un dormilón; no se levanta antes del mediodía los fines de semana.My younger brother is a sleepyhead; he doesn't get up before noon on weekends.concentrarse

honk (of a horn), loud blast of a hornnoun (masculine)El conductor dio un bocinazo para avisar que el camión estaba llegando.The driver gave a honk to signal that the truck was arriving.siesta
