[DailyWord]

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word (http://daily.tomisimo.org/) for October 12, 2008

máscara - masculine noun (el) - mask. Look up máscara in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/mascara)

Si te pones una máscara, nadie te va a reconocer.
If you put on a mask, no one will recognize you.

I once had a mishap with the word máscara. I thought this lady was saying máscara, when she was really asking if something was más cara (more expensive). :shh:

David, What do you talking about? What does was more expense?

It's Mask, you are saying that a mask is more expense, I don't understand your commentary, please if you could explain me more clear, I believe that I will understand you better.

David, what do you talking about? What does it mean (is that what you meant to say?) was more expensive?

It's mask, you are saying that a mask is more expensive? I don't understand your commentary. Please if you could explain to me more clearly, then I believe that I will understand you better.

Do you mean more expensive? Expensive means it costs a lot. Like say, the mask costs $1000 because it's made of gold. It is expensive. Costs a lot of $.
Do you get it now? hope it helps ;)

Crotalito,

Dijo David que pensaba oir máscara (una palabra; mask en inglés) cuando la señora estaba diciendo más cara (dos palabras; more expensive en inglés).

Espero te ayude a entender el comentario de David.

I did a lot mistakes in my last post, then I don't understand Why I do a lot mistakes in my post sometimes, I try to don't do mistakes, but I believe that it's impossible, I feel that I'm awfully gawky sometime, I don't know if I forget the words in English, because Jchen always is correcting to me, please you forgive me if I do mistakes in my post.

You don't have to worry. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Of course we will forgive you. It's okay if you forget the words in English. It is hard to learn English if your native language is something else. ;)

Esto sucedió hace muchos años. Una señora estaba comprando pintura. Ya había escogido una marca, y después preguntó por una máscara y le dije que no vendíamos máscaras. Pero en realidad lo que quería era otra marca de pintura más cara o sea de mayor calidad. Creo que preguntó "¿... y una máscara/más cara?" :o :shh:
