Ambarina is on a distinguished road
mascar/masticar = chew - Mascar chicle (chew gum) Masticar la comida (chew food)
morder = bite
tragar/pasar = swallow
La mastico pero no la trago is like, Elaina said, that you just tolerate somebody but there's not enough there for you to be friends or you don't trust the person enough to be friends.
