Cortar
There are in Spain lots of games with cards for example, brisca, mus, la escoba, etc...
Before starting playing cards we usually shaffle the cards and then pile them up to cortar, that means to divide them into half, how do we say, cortar in this case. And do you have an equivalent to Brisca, Mus, La escoba etc... in English? |
A very complicated expression:
To cut the cards :rolleyes::rolleyes: And there is only one card game worth mentioning: bridge |

When you "cut" the deck you "partes" from the verb "partir".
Unfortunately I have never heard of the card games you've mentioned other than "bridge" :) |
@Elaina: That's the Mexican variation, but "cortar" will also be well understood around here. :D

I'm not certain whether it's an influence from books on conjuring tricks, which I was into well before I started playing bridge.
