Thanks mucho
Why does a follow mandar? Mandó a por
la poli lo trincó poli--slang for cop? looked up trincar-to tie, fasten? Why used for spotting someone? Siempre lo puedo trincar en la multitud. Always I can spot him in the crowd. incluso comer vs. aun/aún comer? even eat even/still eat |

Quote:
la mandó por cerveza. mando a su novia por cerveza. Poli is short for policía, and is a good equivalent for cop. For this sentence, I might have written: Ella cree que puede adelgazar y aún come la comida basura si hace ejercicio en el gimnasio cuatro dias por semana ![]() Ella cree que puede adelgazar, aún cuando come comida chatarra, si hace ejercicio cuatro días por semana. ![]()

Poli:cops (shortened from Policía)
trincar: to catch, to tie. It's not used for spottig, but for catching. It means you have seen him, catch him and "laced" him. Also used for hunting. "Lo trincaron cuando iba a robar la joyería" They catched him when he was going to rob the jewelry" "mandar a por algo" I use it this way. So in you example:"El la mandó a por bebidas" "aun comer" was good, I forget to mark it as ![]() Ella cree que puede adelgazar y aún comer ![]() I used as other example "e incluso" to remark the "even" saludos ![]()
