Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
invitación
invitationnoun (feminine)Todavía tengo que escribir las invitaciones para la boda del próximo mes.I still have to write the invitations for next month's wedding.compromiso
engagement (romantic), commitmentnoun (masculine)Anunciaron su compromiso en una cena familiar con todos sus parientes.They announced their engagement at a family dinner with all their relatives.viste
you see, you know what I mean (tag question seeking agreement)expressioncolloquialFrom 'viste' (second person singular past tense of 'ver'), used in River Plate Spanish as a conversational tag meaning 'you know?' or 'you see what I mean?' It functions like 'right?' at the end of a statement and is characteristic of Argentine and Uruguayan informal speech.
Es que él siempre llega tarde, viste, uno ya no sabe si esperarlo o no.It's just that he always arrives late, you know, you don't know whether to wait for him or not.dale
okay, go ahead, sure (expression of agreement or encouragement)expressioncolloquialExtremely common in River Plate Spanish as a versatile agreement marker. Can mean 'okay', 'alright', 'go for it', or 'come on' depending on context. Opaque to learners who only know 'dar' in its standard forms.
¿Nos juntamos el sábado a las seis? Dale, ahí estoy.Should we meet up on Saturday at six? Sure, I'll be there.alérgico/a
allergicadjectiveMi sobrino es alérgico a los mariscos, así que no puede comer en ese restaurante.My nephew is allergic to seafood, so he can't eat at that restaurant.renunciar
to quit, to resignverbDespués de tantos problemas con el jefe, decidió renunciar al trabajo.After so many problems with the boss, she decided to quit her job.harto/a
fed up, sick and tiredadjectiveEstoy harto de esperar el autobús todos los días bajo la lluvia.I'm fed up with waiting for the bus every day in the rain.institutriz
governessnoun (feminine)La institutriz era responsable tanto de la educación como del bienestar de los niños.The governess was responsible for both the education and the wellbeing of the children.hacerse la película
to let your imagination run away with you, to build a fantasy in your headexpressioncolloquialA River Plate expression meaning someone is over-thinking or romanticizing a situation far beyond what is real. The literal sense (making oneself the movie) gives no clue to this meaning.
No te hagas la película: todavía no sé si me gusta, solo hablamos un par de veces.Don't let your imagination run away with you: I don't even know if I like him yet, we've only talked a couple of times.
