Empapar

[Premium]

Quiero que que te vayas a mérida con Nico a empaparte del nuevo desarrollo.

According to my dictionary empapar means to soak, get soaking wet but I doesn't make any sense in this sentence.

It also means enterarse, comprender or aprender la doctrina.

I agree.

@Premium: Think about knowledge as a liquid matter. ;)

Thank you both for answering.

@Angelica
Kind of odd, isn't it. :thinking:

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Hmmm, not really. It's just a metaphor. ;)

[Glen]

And a good metaphor too; we talk about someone soaking up knowledge (like a sponge). That's what happens here in the Forum every day and is why I enjoy coming here so much.

Podría también haber dicho:
"Quiero que vayas a Mérida con Nico a zambullirte en el nuevo desarrollo"

... [y quedar empapado de el.] :rolleyes:
