Llevar es transportar algo de aquí a alla. De donde estoy a otro lugar.

Traer es transportar algo de alla a aqui. De otro lugar a donde estoy.

A “gafete” is referred to an ID badge with a clip on usually issued by a company or an institution that identifies a person. Many institutions require that you use a “gafete” during your work hours. It means that people around you can easily identify who you are and where you work. Any other type of identification that is carried in your wallet would not be considered a “gafete”. A “gafete” has to have a clip or lanyard.

Monica, dar de alta in English is “to discharge.” It means to give permission to someone to leave the hospital. Almost always it means that the person is better and can go home on their own, but you can also be discharged from the hospital if there is nothing more the hospital can do to help you.

I’m a native Spanish speaker and don’t know the accurate English translation. “Dar de alta” from the hospital means that you don’t have to stay in the hospital because you got better.

Hi,
I just discovered your site as I was looking for a way to extend the reach of my own blog. Mine is an art blog. I love other cultures, and although growing up in Tampa, I do not speak Spanish. I thought it would be fun to follow along with you. I have been to Mexico a couple of times. Most recently the San Miguele de Allende area. I would love for you to share my blog with others, please check it out and let me know. It is rabbitsmoonstudio.blogspot.com, Thank you, Betsy

Thanks for your comment Ricardo. I appreciate it. I think you probably said what I meant better than I did.

In Mexico, when somebody is silly, or dumb, we call him “burro” such as the animal, that is the reason, because a diccionary is called tumbaburros, is something like vanish the ignorance, like hit a donkey, in this case a person ignorant above some specific word.

I have bad eanglish, but I hope this were helpfull for someone
