This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for October 21, 2009

encogerse (verb) — to shrink. Look up encogerse in the dictionary

La lana y la piel se encojen al mojarse.
Wool and leather shrink when they get wet.

To me leather is cuero and piel is skin.

Note: the e-mail for this "Daily Word" didn't include the definition. There was "Verb, " and nothing after the comma. :) We still love you, bot..... :D

I think it should be "se encogen".

I agree (coger y derivados: encoger, recoger, etc.) :)

Y encogerse de hombros = shrug :)

The word Leather is Piel, this word can be used with the Piel Humana?

Para la piel humana: skin ;)

Pero la piel humana no se encoge, se arruga... :D

Piel viva es skin. Leather es cuero, pero (raramente - e.g. en algunos textos de antropología) se puede hablar de "leather made from/with human skin".

En México se usa "piel" para el cuero tratado de manera que se le añadan texturas y colores. Se habla de "ropa de piel", "bolsas de piel".
Se usa "piel de víbora", "piel de cocodrilo", "piel de carnero"...
El cuero se entiende por aquí en formas más en bruto, normalmente sin colores añadidos (o color "natural") y con apariencia más tosca. :)

That's interesting, Malila - thanks for explaining!!

irmamar October 24, 2009 12:28 PM

Sí, en España igual que en México. :)

You are welcome. I try, most of the time I am taken out of context. I do not care because I can communicate well in English. Believe it or not. ;)

I do not claim to be Shakespeare either... :D

Nunca me gustó Chespirito, por cierto. ;)
