Hamaca
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for August 7, 2008

hamaca - feminine noun (la) - hammock. Look up hamaca in the dictionary

El acostarte en una hamaca es cómodo a menos que te caigas.
Laying down in a hammock is comfortable unless you fall out of it.

And how would you say deckchair in Spanish? I imagine it is hamaca too, but is there another word?... Aha! I just remembered myself. Tumbona?
Yo me lo digo todo...

Is a lounge chair and a lawn chair the same thing?

Tumbona = lounge chair

BTW, hamaca is one of those precolombian words that came into Spanish.

Veo que has abandonado a los meros mortales en su categoría de humildes piedrecitas y te has subido a un plano superior. Very bohemian...

I knew this would awake some envy feelings... And I'm proud of it. You, simple emerald, pearls, stones... JIA, JIA, JIA (read it as a really devilish laugh).

What colour do you get in English when envy eats your entreils?

We say: ponerse verde de envidia.

JIA, JIA, JIA...
