Colombia es una democracia.
El presidente es Alvaro Uribe. La moneda nacional es el peso colombiano. Su mayor fuente de ingresos son el petróleo, el carbón y el café. Una festividad es el carnaval de Bogotá que es muy parecido al Mardi Gras. I hope this is not your school's homework. |

Thank you sosia, by the way what does your name mean? And don't worry, I'm not going to copy exactly what you wrote for answers or something. These are parts of an essay I am writing, that I couldn't figure out how to say.

You can copy exactly what I said, because we give it free of charge for everyone.
sosia(sosias): double, doppelgänger It's my "other me" in the forums sosia: In ancient Greek there was the name SOSIAS (sigma-omega-sigma-iota with the acute accent-alpha-sigma) which is for example a slave's name in The Wasps” by Aristophanes. It is however after a long time that this name took the meaning of “the living double of another“. This happened after the Roman playwrigth Plautus (c. 254-184 B.C.) used the name Sosias in his comedy “Amphitruo” where there is a servant of Amphitryon just named Sosias. In this comedy it is the god Mercury who assumes the double of Sosia to help Zeus that, disguised as Amphitryon, came to Alcmene, Amphitryon ‘s wife, and seduced her, while Amphitryon was away from home. To conclude, the word ‘sosia’ was originally a name that later had the meaning of ‘double’, thanks to Plautus. |
