Please provide some of the sentences you've seen and we'll be able to explain the usage.
Para poder explicarte el uso de esas palabras, muéstranos unas de las frases que has visto.

CrOtALiTo June 30, 2008 09:45 AM

Uhhh, I have seen in movies.

CrOtALiTo June 30, 2008 09:46 AM

Could you give me some examples.?

Please.

Rusty June 30, 2008 10:21 AM

Here is one example.
He aquí un ejemplo.

one = uno/un/una, cuando ésta expresa cantidad

Don't confuse the word one with the indefinite article, a (an when the following word begins with a vowel), as in:
Here is an example.
No confundas la palabra uno con el artículo indefinido), a (an cuando la palabra siguiente empieza con vocal). En español, no hay diferencia ninguna:
He aquí un ejemplo.

The word up is used many ways, with varied meanings.
It can mean hacia arriba.
La palabra up se usa de varias maneras con sentidos distintos.
Puede significar hacia arriba.

Many times, it is used as a verb preposition.
Muchas veces se usa como preposición verbal.
To look up = buscar (en un diccionario, p. e.)
To walk up, climb up, go up = subir

At times, it is used as an adverb.
A veces se usa como adverbio.
To look up = alzar la vista, mirar hacia arriba

It is used in idioms (modismos).
What's up? = ¿Qué pasa?

up = hacia arriba
one = uno

But Rusty's explanation is better.


It would be a lot easier to give you more information about those words if you were to give us some sample sentences or if you told us exactly what you don't understand about how to use those words. Para nosotros sería mucho más fácil si nos dieras más información acerca de estas dos palabras. Danos unas frases que usan esas dos palabras y que no entienedes, o explícanos qué es exactamente lo que no entiendes acerca del uso de up y one.

Please, David, (tell me)/(explain to me) how I can to use these words in some sentences or phrases.

to pick up = aprender, en este caso (la palabra up es parte del verbo);
to pick up también significa recoger, tomar, agarrar, y otros verbos en ciertas situaciones.

off and on = de vez en cuando (un modismo)

CrOtALiTo July 02, 2008 02:23 PM

Look, I have been finding the sentence off and on, in the dictionary, of tomisimo and, I don't found it, please you check that in the dictionary.

Regards.

I hope you all are well today.

What word can't you find in the dictionary?

CrOtALiTo July 10, 2008 12:09 PM

The word, I can't find is off and on.

Rusty July 10, 2008 04:45 PM

The idiom off and on is idiom # 1412. The link that David provided above, and the link in this sentence, will take you to the English version of the idiom. You can also go to the idiom dictionary and look up the idiom by its number (1412) using the Advanced Search link.

The reason you can't find the idiom is because it only contains common words, also known as stopwords, that are excluded during searches. Words like the, what, and, a, an, in, on, and off are stopwords, and are ignored. I'm not sure if this is something that David can change.

CrOtALiTo July 10, 2008 04:56 PM

I thought it.

It should can to do it.

It's not easily changed, but I'll have a closer look at it.

Is there a way to allow a +/- (plus or a minus sign) to be affixed to the keyword (perhaps only in the Advanced Search box), meaning "must/should not contain," to get around the stopword filter?

Yes, I think that might be possible. :thumbsup: Let me have a look.
