View Full Version : Buenaaas...
atnbueno May 18, 2006, 11:36 AM I'm Antonio, and I'm from (and live) in Spain.
I've been using tomisimo.org for a while and just today I noticed the forums.
As I've received a ton of help with my English along the years, I'll be happy to give a hand to people interested in improving their Spanish. At least from a "Spain's Spanish" POV :)
I work with people from several american countries and it's been a real eye-opener the amount of little differences between their Spanish and mine.
shruti May 18, 2006, 02:03 PM Hello. Spaniards are <3. Except for the mullet thing. Why are they so popular?
pogo May 18, 2006, 02:59 PM Hola
any chance you could give a quick explanation on the difference between por and para
Gracias.
Tomisimo May 18, 2006, 05:24 PM Welcome Antonio, nice to have you along. I'm sure you can be of great help to lots of people here :)
I've been using tomisimo.org for a while and just today I noticed the forums.Yes, the forums are only about 2-3 weeks old- glad you decided to sign up.

How's that for quick? ;D
[...]Except for the mullet thing. Why are they so popular?
Mullet? You mean the fish (http://www.tomisimo.org/diccionario/ingles_espanol/mullet)? Or maybe the bullfighting cape (http://www.flamenkito.com/pages/indextoros.htm)?
If it's the first, I don't like them ;D and if it's the second, bullfighting is not as popular as you might think ::)
Eric May 19, 2006, 08:53 AM I think he means the haircut. :(

How's that for a bullfighting cape- Looks more like a dress to me ;D

As far as the mullet, shruti probably did mean the haircut :)

Sorry it's not in the dictionary, I'll have to fix that.
shruti May 19, 2006, 01:49 PM Indeed. The haircut was what I was going for. Sorry to have confused you.
atnbueno May 19, 2006, 02:14 PM No problem. I learnt a new word :)
Actually I don't know if there's a word in Spanish for that. And believe me, not even *remotely* popular!
shruti May 19, 2006, 05:09 PM Oh, but it is. Perhaps not as ridiculous-looking as that guy's mullet, but still. I was in Spain over spring break, and there had to be a million guys with mullets. 80's style in general seems to be quite popular over there.
Tomisimo May 20, 2006, 12:59 AM Here's a couple more reasonable-looking mullets :)
