[DailyWord]

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word (http://daily.tomisimo.org/) for October 5, 2009

brindar (verb) — to offer, present, afford. Look up brindar in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/brindar)

Nadie nos brindó sugerencias para arreglarlo.
No one offered us suggestions to fix it.

Also "to toast" (cheers!), which is the first definition given in the RAE.

For to say Brinda to gives help, I need to say offer like to ofrecer in Spanish.

In many cases, they are synonyms, yes. :)

Nice work, Bob! :thumbsup:


"A la gente" is right.


Attention: "Hincha" is a masculin, and when "grande" is placed before a substantive, it becomes "gran". ;)

@David: Despite the fact that there have been a few mistakes, I think the idea of this bot is to underline some special uses of words, apart from the main one.

I think this also promotes the discussion and explanations among forum users. :)

Okay, okay, Malila. Did all of your teachers love you when you were in school? :)

YES - I LOVE the discussions that the Daily Word starts. In fact, I subscribe to almost all of them whether I contribute or not. :)

Does it show? :lol:

Oh well many other teachers hated me for exactly the same reasons. :o

En español, para regresar a la palabra del día:
Muchos profesores me odiaban por las mismas razones que los otros me brindaban su afecto. :D

Habría sido mejor que me callara. Ahora DailyWord tiene motivos por brindarme enemistad.
