Hi!
Here are some examples of similar phrases: estar a sus anchas – to be comfortable a sus anchas - at their leisure / freely sentirse a sus anchas - feel at home/at ease In your context it means that ''They have moved freely'' Regards. |

Thanks Cuban Boy.
Can you say El chef está en sus anchas cuando está en la cocina? o El profesor está en sus anchas en su aula?

I have a better idea above it, the oration or sentence, Se ha movido a sus anchas, my country on meaning when a person any person, for example you, if you are moving to some place on other city or state, but you are moving you of a way very comfortable, then you can say to the person, Te estas moviendo a tus anchas, because you are free, and no one cans says you that you must not move to where you wanna go.

Cubanboy is right.
The "freely" it's not only free but it has also a "pleasure" point.(at ease, comfortable) Poli, usually a teacher ist not very comfortable in the classroom. The cook it's a better example. a typical example "Yo estoy a mis anchas cuando mi mujer no está en casa, veo la tele mientras como en el sofá" ¿Estoy a mi ancha con esa idea? You can say that, but usually you do not move with an idea. Saludos

as a comfortable on a sofa. Being comfortable with a concept doesn't translate well to Spanish.

I hope someone is still following this thread. I was going to post this as a new question, but a search on the word "anchas" brought me here.
In the phrase "Estar a sus anchas", does the article match the subject of the sentence? Like in the following: - Estoy a mis anchas... - Estás a tus anchas... - Está a sus anchas... Or does the article need to match something else that I'm missing? Also, I see some examples above where "ancha" is used instead of "anchas". But I don't follow why sometimes the singular is used instead of the plural. How do I know the difference? Thank you!
