Colectivos desfavorecidos

[chileno]

Aunque suena un poco artificial, "colectividad" sí se usa así, sobre todo en los medios. Pero no podía perder la oportunidad de incordiar un poco con el tema de los desfavorecidos. ;)


But of course! :)

And me posting uh? :rolleyes:

Yes. And in Chile it is a taxi that works like a minibus, that has a route and picks up passengers as seats become available. The driver will sometimes leave you very near your home if not at the doorsteps.

A mix of a taxi and a bus. :)

The word desgraciado is not an insult, it meaning a disgrace.

"Desgraciado" can be used both as an insult and a person who has some problem, in Spain at least.

¡Eres un desgraciado, has roto mi jarrón preferido!
Es un pobre desgraciado, no tiene ni casa donde dormir.

A todos los hispanos y españoles aquí nececitan saber que desgracia no
es igual al la palabradisgrace en inglés.

Disgrace es una palabra más fuerte y parece más la palabras deshonra, pecado, escándalo.

Correcto, y tambien como Poli dice...

También en español Poli.

Yes, I know that the word Desgraciado is not exactly an insult but at least in my country it's an insult.

I don't know if the word desgraciado is an insult in other places.
