Las casas de ladrillo son muy bonitas, y buenas para resistir fuertes ráfagas de viento. Necesito más o menos cuatrocientos cincuenta y siete millones ochocientos trece mil cuatrocientos ochenta y uno ladrillos para construir mi casa

In Mexico the houses that are in the hills are completely built of bricks..
They keep the hot inside of the house so people can be completely nice a toasty.

En holandés también conocemos dichos como:
- Suspendo (un examen) como un ladrillo (flunk a test/exam like a brick). (' Zakken als een baksteen') - Hundirse como un ladrillo (to sink like a brick) ('Zinken als een baksteen'). - o cando algo que se comó es muy pesado/grueso en el estómago (¿Cómo se dice en español?) y se siente mal, se dice 'este se tende en estómago como un ladrillo' ('Dat ligt als een baksteen op je maag'). ¿Se utiliza la palabra 'ladrillo' de esta manera en español también (es decir, en sentidos similares)?

En México no... me costó mucho trabajo saber qué significaba cuando la encontré en una canción de Joaquín Sabina.

Yes you' re right they are quite striking at times, the similarities between these two languages. In fact Dutch vocabulary isn' t a problem for English speaking natives - they have a lot more problems with word order, which - like in German - can be crucial to the meaning because you may end up saying something very different just by switching words, especially when dealing with composite verbs. Also there can be a big difference between conjugations with 'to have' (hebben) and to be ('zijn').E.g. ' Ik heb hem opgetrokken' - I have pulled him up. ' Ik ben met hem opgetrokken' - I have hung around with him ' Het is voorgekomen ' - It has happened. ' Hij kwam voor' - He appeared before the judge ' Hij voorkwam het/ Hij heeft het voorkomen' - He (has) prevented it Thanks for the expression in Spanish!  Quote:
' De regen komt met bakstenen uit de lucht vallen' ('The rain is falling from the sky like bricks') You could also say : 'Het regent pijpestelen' or ' Het regent dat het giet' (It rains that it pours, it' s pouring rain) or ' Het komt met bakken uit de lucht' (it' s falling from the sky with trays (of water)'

We also use bricks in the expression "He's as thick as a brick" (Es tonto o estúpido.)
