You're welcome.
Don't forget to drop the accent mark when pluralizing a word that ends in ción. The additional syllable causes a natural stress (penultimate) to occur in the plural form. ![]() Gracias por las correcciones. Last edited by Rusty; August 07, 2011 at 09:23 PM. |

By the by, you could also translate it as, "to be in one’s element"
Moliner says, Como [el] pez en el agua. Con «estar, sentirse», etc., encontrarse alguien en un sitio muy satisfecho o con mucha naturalidad.

Yup, I realized it a posteriori... as I missed the link!
And we also say in Spanish "estar en su elemento", now that I think.
