Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
turno
turn (in a game or rotation)noun (masculine)Espera, todavía no es tu turno para tirar los dados.Wait, it's not your turn to roll the dice yet.¡Vamos!
Come on! / Let's go! / You can do it!expressioncolloquialHighly versatile exclamation used to encourage someone, express impatience, or urge action. The meaning shifts entirely with context: it can cheer someone on, signal urgency, or express frustration. The literal words ('let's go') do not capture all these uses.
¡Vamos, ya casi llegas a la meta!Come on, you're almost at the finish line!alcanzar
to reach; to catch up toverbNo puedo alcanzar el libro que está en el estante más alto.I can't reach the book on the top shelf.me toca
it's my turnexpressioncolloquialUses the verb 'tocar' in a non-musical, idiomatic sense meaning 'to be one's turn' or 'to fall to someone'. A learner knowing only the primary meaning of 'tocar' (to touch, to play an instrument) would not arrive at this meaning. Extremely common in everyday Latin American speech.
Ya jugaste dos veces, ahora me toca a mí.You've played twice already, now it's my turn.verdad
truthnoun (feminine)Es importante decir la verdad aunque sea difícil.It's important to tell the truth even when it's hard.¡Basta!
Enough! / Stop it!expressioncolloquialA sharp command to stop a behavior immediately. More emphatic than 'para' alone, and carries a tone of frustration or authority. Common in scolding contexts, especially between adults and children or among peers in conflict.
¡Basta de peleas! Los dos van a su cuarto ahora mismo.Enough fighting! Both of you go to your room right now.roto
brokenadjective / past participle of romperEl espejo está roto desde que se cayó al suelo.The mirror has been broken since it fell to the floor.sincero
honest, sincereadjectiveQuiero que seas sincero conmigo sobre lo que pasó.I want you to be honest with me about what happened.sin querer
accidentally, without meaning to, unintentionallyexpressioncolloquialLiterally 'without wanting to', but functions as a fixed phrase equivalent to 'by accident'. It softens an admission of fault by emphasizing the lack of intention. Very common in apologies and explanations in everyday Latin American Spanish.
Rompí el vaso sin querer mientras lavaba los platos.I broke the glass by accident while washing the dishes.accidente
accidentnoun (masculine)Derramé el jugo sin querer; fue un accidente.I spilled the juice by accident; it was unintentional.perdonar
to forgive; to pardonverbEspero que me perdones por llegar tan tarde a la reunión.I hope you'll forgive me for arriving so late to the meeting.
