Ahh great!! :thumbsup: Thanx, I was wondering about this distinction! :D
I did intend it as surprise for little Bobby so I guess 'vaya' is good in this
context.:D I like it I am going to use that often I think! :p

As for the shoes... "killer shoes" might pass as "zapatos asesinos"... that would give pretty much the idea of uncomfortable shoes. ;)
:eek: Indeed..:lol:

Just out of curiosity, is there a difference between 'asesinar' and 'matar'?

I suppose 'matar' can be killing of other creatures as well like animals (matador??) whereas 'asesinar' is just for killing people, similar to 'assassinate' in English? :)

¡¡Gracias!! :rose:

I think you're right about the distinction between both verbs... but also "asesinar" implies an intention to do it.

It's the link in the first post of this topic Crotalito. :)

It' s here. You can put your own text on it. After you have put your text in the white fields, you must press the button ' generate tombstone' . Then by rightclick of your mouse on the picture you can save the picture. :)
