Toronja
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for May 18, 2009
toronja (feminine noun (la)) — grapefruit. Look up toronja in the dictionary Me gusta desayunar toronja con azúcar. I like to eat grapefruit with sugar for breakfast. |
toronja = pomelo
|
No puedo beber (tomar?) jugo de toronja, naranja, o piña. Ellos molestan mi estómago.
(Can someone check the dictionary's conjugations for "molestar"? I think they may be incorrect.....) |

@Lou Ann: You can also say "me lastiman el estómago", "me hacen daño al estómago", "me irritan el estómago" (the one I'd choose). :)

Yes, in Spain we say "pomelo", instead of "taronja". But this word reminds me the Cataloniand word for "orange", this is "taronja". The Catalonian word for "toronja" / "pomelo" is "aranja. "Arancia" is the italian word for "orange".
I like to find connections between words. This is a good way of learning languages, too. :) |

Beber - to drink tomar - to take Personalmente, usaría "beber" pero soy un gringo:) |
Nosotros somos gringos, los dos! Se usa "tomar" por "to drink", tambien. Yo no sé cuál es mejor en la oración. :)

¡¡Aguas residuales!! *yuck!!* :lol:
But "Me duele el estómago porque bebí muchas aguas residuales" would be grammatically correct. :D |

Too many people to be cursed then... your sentence could be like:
"Maldición a la persona que inventó estas conjugaciones." "Maldita sea la persona que inventó estas conjugaciones." Although this sentence is too strong. Maybe I would say "¿quién diablos inventó estas conjugaciones?", which means more or less "who on earth invented this conjugations?" :) Let me again recommend you use a manual for conjugation... rules will be clearer and you'll learn to do it yourself and feel when a conjugation is more appropriate for each kind of verb. |

There are some manuals that help you associate kinds of verbs and their conjugation, which makes your mind build them by yourself after regular use. I found one of these in Amazon. It's all in Spanish, but it's not hard to understand: Conjugación Lengua Española. Larousse. |
