Hola a todos!

Soy estudiante de diplomacia en Praga, pero soy eslovaco.

Solo aprendo espanhol, he tenido 4 cursos y he estado en Espanha (en Mallorca - alli se habla alemán, no espanhol..jaja)

Cómo están todos?

Quería preguntar sobre la palabra 'tronco'.. me gusta muchísimo y la uso mucho. Creo que significa algo bueno. Un amigo me ha dicho que no es cierto.

Que piensan los espanholes?

¡Bienvenido a los foros!

El español se deletrea con la ñ en vez de 'nh'. Hay un menú 'Accents', arriba del texto que entras, donde se halla todos los carácteres que se necesita para escribir el español.

Dejaré que un nativo te diga que quiere decir tronco.

Hello I bid you welcome to this place.
The word tronco mean a lumber's piece cut of a tree.

I hope that your stay in the forums will be enjoyable.

Have a good day.

We know that it means trunk, Crotalito. When it's used to refer to a person is what is being asked. I think it might mean that a person is insensitive (unfeeling, uncaring). What do you think?

Es muy tronco él. = He's very insensitive.

Conozco una chiste en la que el contexto implica que es un término neutral o amigable.

Juan va al hospital para visitar a su amigo Javier, y el médico le dice, "Para salvarle la vida, hemos tenido que amputar los brazos y las piernas. Está muy sensible, así que no le diga nada de eso."

Juan asiente, y entra, saludando a Javier, "¿Cómo vas, tronco?"
