Hamaca
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for August 7, 2008

hamaca - feminine noun (la) - hammock. Look up hamaca in the dictionary

El acostarte en una hamaca es cómodo a menos que te caigas.
Laying down in a hammock is comfortable unless you fall out of it.

And how would you say deckchair in Spanish? I imagine it is hamaca too, but is there another word?... Aha! I just remembered myself. Tumbona?
Yo me lo digo todo...

Is a lounge chair and a lawn chair the same thing?

Tumbona = lounge chair

BTW, hamaca is one of those precolombian words that came into Spanish.

Veo que has abandonado a los meros mortales en su categoría de humildes piedrecitas y te has subido a un plano superior. Very bohemian...

I knew this would awake some envy feelings... And I'm proud of it. You, simple emerald, pearls, stones... JIA, JIA, JIA (read it as a really devilish laugh).

What colour do you get in English when envy eats your entreils?

We say: ponerse verde de envidia.

JIA, JIA, JIA...

Thanks a lot, Rusty! What about the envy eats your entrails? Is this correct? In Spanish we say: la envidia / el odio te come las entrañas.

Hmm. We say that rage (and envy) can eat us up inside. I guess that's about the same thing.

So, envy eats me up inside... Thanks! I said, la envidia te come las entrañas but it's also very common la envidia te corroe (por dentro / las entrañas).

Once again cannibal-related subject matter rears its ugly head. I'm nearly sure there are not Hannibal Lectors here in the forum , but you could say, "he was eaten alive with jealously or hate or envy or greed "

Y, ¿Qué hace más daño, ser envidioso o ser egotista?

En mi opinión la envidia ni es malo ni es buena. La envidia es capaz de
motivar el envidioso mejorar vida. Pero cuando la evidia se convierte en celocia es un problema de verdad.
Tambien el egoismo no tiene que ser malo. Una persona egoista puede ser
motivado cuidarse bien, ejerciciar, todo para lucirse bien. Tiene algo de ver con respecto por su mismo. Pero si el egoismo significa falta de respecto para otros es una patologia.

Poli, el ser envidioso (como lo describe Alfonso) se sobre pasa de envidia y tambien el ser egotístico.

Todo en esta vida es bueno, hasta cierto punto o con moderación, no crees?

Creo que ser Egoista puede hacer mas daño que ser envidioso.

I'm not jealous. Just curious.

Poli, Elaina
I think you are confusing two different words:
egotístico: self-centred
egoísta: selfish
