I've a question.

Pregnancy and pregnant are completely the same.

I need a good explanation minutely.

I appreciate your support anyhow.

What? You need an explanation of pregnancy and pregnant?

In what sense?

OK - if you look at your mummy and daddy when they are having a bath, you will notice that there are differences....

Can somebody else continue?

creo que "estar en blanco" = "to draw a blank". (when trying to come
up with an answer, i suppose this can be embarrassing, too.)

yes it is...
Already it didn't feel right when I wrote it but .. me he quedado en blanco...

I wanted to edit my post but my *&^%$#!!! internet threw me out..

Gracias a todos, thanx irma, elaina, perikles and hermit.

Doesn't it also mean "embarrassing"?

That was an embarrassing situation.

Esa era una situación embarazosa. (not sure of the spelling of embarazosa)

Correcto. Pero más bien debiera ser "vergonzoso,a"

Si dices en inglés: "I'm embarrassed" esto no significa que estes embarazada...

Embarrasing = embarazoso,a

Embarrassed = avergonzado

Mortificado

Ahhhh me gusta esto (como 'mortified' ¿no?)
I think there is also an expression like : 'I wish the ground would open up and swallow me (whole)' (something like this..), to indicate a great sense of embarassment.. ?

Is there a Spanish equivalent of this?

(By the way, in Dutch we say 'Ik kon wel door de grond zakken' = 'I could have just fallen (down) through the ground' (the verb 'zakken' is a bit difficult to translate.))

Por supuesto, ya mencioné una vez eso de cavar un hoyito y meterme en el. (pero nadie hizo caso) :-D

O bien literal: Quiero/quisiera que la tierra se abra y me trague/tragara.
