everyone online is bringing back the fact that josh hutcherson learned spanish for his girlfriend so now i’m projecting that onto mike sorry it’s the law + i’m where are my fellow latina josh fans at…this one is for you

☆ mike schmidt x bilingual!reader (latina eng/esp) includes :

- mike knows the most basic of conversational spanish from his high school secondary language courses

- and after meeting you and learning about your roots, he is on a mission to connect to that part of you

- he soon looks for any and every way to learn more of the language

- he goes to the video store and looks for some his favorite movies in spanish (he thinks : if he knows them by heart already, then he can def pick up on a few dozen words)

- he buys an english to spanish dictionary, workbooks, even thinks about renting a rosetta stone cd program to listen to on his way to and from work

- maybe a month into this process he starts to show off his new knowledge, starting by pointing at things here and there and naming them in spanish

- like when he you guys go out for coffee one cold morning and after offering him a piece of your croissant, he rips off a small portion and eats it before pointing to the pastry and saying “hmm, almendras”, referring to the slices of almonds that were sprinkled on the top

- and when you look up at his face with a confused look that turns into slight surprise, he just has the smallest smirk on his face, just hoping to god in his head that you’re impressed

- or when you try to think of a word and even though it’s so simple, for some reason only the spanish version appears in your head

- “do you mind getting the um…” you attempt to ask mike one morning after you invited him over for breakfast after he had taken abby to school

-“the…?” mike looks up from the kitchen table at where you stand, pointing to the surface of the table, waving a hand over it as you try to think of the word

- “the…ugh damn. sorry, the manteles? the things-“

- “oh! the tablecloths, got it” he says as he stands to grab them from where you kept them next to the sink

- you look at him astonished, and as you watch him set the table you start to wonder where all this seemingly sudden knowledge came from

- as you both eat you point out his recent upgrade in vocabulary

- “i thought you said you only really knew how to ask where the bathroom was in spanish.”

- mike just shrugs, trying to hide his smile as he says, “yeah, i’ve just been trying to pick up a few new things here and there.”

- from then on he’s way more shameless about it, constantly asking how to say certain things that his research hasn’t taught him yet and asking you to say things in spanish to test him

- you find it silly at first, but only because it’s something that you were raised to know and you just can’t fathom someone learning it solely because of you

- but you soon realize how incredible it is for you to witness the effort he’s putting in since now you know… he obviously takes your relationship pretty seriously

- and it’s just so sweet to see.

some more of mike’s antics might include :

- being on the phone with your family and mike following you around, trying to understand what you’re gasping and ranting about

- him complimenting you in spanish

- “ay que linda” he’ll softly say after greeting you with a soft kiss before a night out

- impressing your family by introducing himself in spanish, which immediately seems to win them over

- speaking spanish in front of abby when you don’t want her to understand what the two of you are saying

- i need him in my life.

i hope you enjoyed ☆

PAC: What your fp/fs looks like but make it actually diverse 🌅

Feel free to leave a tip as well if you enjoyed this pac! $$$ 😌🌺

Pile 1:

Physical appearance

Hair color ranges from dark brown, light brown , ginger, & blonde highlights (Their natural hair color is mostly brown but they could dye it or a few of them are actually blonde/ginger). Their hair texture is coily, curly, or wavy. They are most likely light skinned or mixed race (I'm seeing mostly black, white, or middle eastern. This message could only be for a few but I heard someone's fp/fs could be Somalian, Moroccan, or Israeli to be specific). They have hazel eyes (eye color is a mix of green, aqua, gold, or amber). They have freckles and moles. Skintone is warm and medium or medium deep (tawny, olive, or brown). Your fp/fs's body could be more bottom heavy. If they are more feminine I'm seeing a pear shaped figure and if they are more masculine I'm seeing that they have strong legs. This person could like to workout or they are in involved in sports because they have strong lower body muscles (wide hips, big butt, thick thighs, toned calves, etc). Sagittarius & Leo could be prominent in their birth chart. Sun or Jupiter dominant.

Pile 2:

Physical Appearance

This pile's fp/fs is pretty unique! For some people in this pile, their fs/fp could have vitiligo. It's as if they have two skintones for some reasons. So either this person could have vitiligo, they either get very pale in the winter and dark in the summer, or they could have used tanners or skin bleaching creams growing up. I'm also seeing that this person could strictly only wear black, gray, and white - no colors. They like to be like a panda 🐼. For their hair color I'm seeing its gray, white, silver, platinum blonde, or bleached. They could like to wear wigs or their head is shaved at the moment. If the fp is a feminine they like to wear their hair very long while the masculine likes their hair very short, almost like a buzzcut. They also have dark brown almost pitch black eyes. Your fp/fs could have some type of scar on there face or body, perhaps from a burn, fight, or some sort of accident. Their body is angular, lean, and toned. This person likes to include stars in their aesthetic ☆. They could like y2k fashion or subversive fashion. I'm thinking of the brand "Chrome hearts". This person could be alternative or like being involved in that culture. They could be goth specifically which would explain why their skin color varies (some goths like to paint their face white). I'm seeing piercings and tattoos as well. There isn't a specific race for this pile but they could have almond eyes, a low nose bridge, and small lips (they like to wear lip liner so it looks fuller or red/black lipstick so they can appear as a "vampire" lol). So for some of you your fp/fs could be black, asian, or "other". I'm seeing that this person has Scorpio placements and a Pluto dominance.

Pile 3:

Physical Appearance

This person is white and their cultural heritage could either be Greek, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian, Portuguese, or Argentian. They have dark brown hair and it's straight with a slight bend of wave or curls. Their hair is very voluminous and shiny. Their skin ranges from pale to medium. Their eye color could be blue, brown, or green. For some other physical features they could have a prominent nose, dark circles, red lips, and a beauty mark either under their eye or next to their mouth. If feminine, their body is hourglass shape with hip dips. If masculine, they have wide shoulders, and have more of a inverted triangle shape. Your fp/fs' style is very refined and posh. It's giving "old money" vibes. Rolexes, white Polo shirts, khakis, linen blouses, diamond necklaces, etc. They could have Taurus placements as well as a Venus dominance.

Pile 4:

Physical Appearance

I feel for most people in this pile their fs/fp naturally has ginger, reddish hair or they have brown hair with reddish undertones. They have dark brown eyes, pale skin, freckles, rosy cheeks, and heart shaped lips. They could look like a cat or have features similar to cat. Their eyes are big and upturned. Your fp/fs is either east asian or "wasian" (half white half east asian). Their style is grunge with warm autumn tones or they dress very colorful (they could wear a lot of primary colors with brown and green). They could like to wear khakis, cargo pants, converse sneakers, and striped sweaters. This person gives off obvious Gemini energy 😂 but I'm also picking up that they could have Virgo placements. They have a Mercury dominance.

Pile 5:

Physical Appearance

This person has a very rich, deep skintone. If your fp/fs was a man they would remind me of the saying "tall, dark, and handsome". I'm seeing that they are either Black or South Asian. They have thick curly/coily hair and it's the color onyx. Their eyes are the color chocolate brown. They have a balanced and proportionate body type. I feel that this person really embodies having Venusian energy and could have Libra prominent in their birth chart. Their style is casual with a touch of luxury. They like to wear black blazers, white shirts, sundresses, gold hoops, pearls, and jewels. I'm seeing purple, red, and green (sapphires, rubies, emeralds, etc) so they could like to wear very regal colors as well or they could just look like royalty.

Pile 6:

Physical Appearance

I channeled a few different people for this pile so this might not resonate for all of you but only for some! So for those who are attracted to people with a feminine appearance. Your fp/fs could like to have their hair very colorful and it's always changing. They either wear wigs or dye their hair blue. I'm getting a "2014 tumblr girl" vibe from them. They are just naturally beautiful. As for those who are attracted to people with a masculine appearance. Your fp/fs could have short to medium length blonde hair. Their hair is very shaggy and they like to style it in a messy, carefree, tousled way. They could have slight wavy hair as well. They could look like a "surfey boy" or a "skater boy". Both feminine and masculine fp/fs could have blue eyes, a button nose, and pink lips. Their body type is petite and thin with a narrow waist. I'm not seeing a specific race being stated for your fp/fs but I wanna lean towards for most people who picked this pile that they will have a white partner. While for a few of you, you will date/marry someone who will be considered racially ambiguous. They could have Aquarius placements and a Uranus dominance

Pile 7:

Physical Appearance

This person has black or dark brown hair. Their hair texture could be straight or wavy. They could have siren eyes as well. Something about their eyes are very captivating. Their eye color ranges from light brown to dark brown. While their skin color is like copper. They are average height and their shoulders and collarbones could be very beautiful. Your fp/fs could be of West & South/Southeast Asian descent, this message might only be for some but I'm hearing that they could be possibly be Sri Lankan, Tamil, Iranian, Saudi Arabian, Bengali, Malaysian, Singaporean, Pakistani, Thai, and Indonesian (very specific, I know 💀). I feel like you would meet then while they are in their cultural attire or during a special holiday. If you are not from these countries perhaps you go there for a vacation and meet them there (how cute!🥺). I feel like their faith or beliefs are very important to them, so they might wear some sort of necklace to represent that. Capricorn could be prominent in their chart and they could have a Saturn dominance.

Pile 8:

Physical Appearance

For your fp/fs I feel that they could have a duality to them, so it is possible that they are mixed, have two cultures, or they have a dual citizenship somewhere. I believe that they are Aboriginal, Pacific Islander, and for a few, South East Asian (I'm getting the Philippines to be specific). They have thick wavy, curly hair. They might like to switch up their hair a lot by either straightening it or curling it sometimes. They could even do perms on their hair or use relaxers. The skin color varies from person to person. Their body type will be more fleshy and muscular, some of them have a prominent tummy. They could have Cancer placements or the Moon is dominant in their chart.

Pile 9:

Physical Appearance

Your fp/fs is indigenous or Latin indigenous descent. They have straight, dark brown hair. Their skintone varies from medium to dark skintones. Some of them have a hooked nose or will have a upturned nose. The corner of their lips could be downturned or when they smile it looks like this ^~^ (adorable 😭). I feel that these people have a very loud but infectious laugh. They could brighten your day when you are sad. For some of you these people could be a cowboy/cowgirl or work at some sort of ranch or farm (I'm not from the South so idk how all that works but you get what I mean 😅). They have a natural connection to animals. They could wear stetson hats, beaded necklaces, bolo ties, flannels, boots, bone shells, and silver or turquoise jewelry. They could have Aries placements and a Mars dominance.

Chapter Seven - It's different with Miguel now, and when he suggests a double date, it all gets so much worse.

It’s weird now, with Miguel. It shouldn’t be, it wasn’t his fault the volume on his phone was so loud, that some random woman left him a lewd voicemail. But you can’t help but feel odd around him. Like all your senses are in overdrive, every move he makes, the way his lips quirk, the slight rasp in his voice when he finally speaks after hours of working in almost complete silence. It’s all magnified in your brain, making you hyperaware of him.

Miguel on the other hand seems normal, uninterested, which stings a little, but you tell yourself that he’s probably still embarrassed. Definitely still embarrassed, which is why he barely speaks to you, why he won’t meet your eyes, and why he’s so fidgety.

“Miguel, you good?” You finally ask, standing at the scrub in station, soap covering your hands, unable to stand the silence any longer.

He looks up at you, and his eyes seem to go right through you. Then his gaze solidifies, anchoring on your face, warmth returning to his expression. He dries his hands with a few paper towels before throwing them away, his eyes still on you. “Yeah, doing fine, you?”

“I’m good, just thought you seemed a little quiet, wanted to make sure you were okay.”

He smiles, it’s not as bright as usual but still brilliant. “Dulce chica, were you worried about me?”

You know those words, having picked up at least a bit of Spanish from your time spent around Miguel. He’s calling you sweet girl. Your stomach flips, and you bite the inside of your cheek to keep from smiling. You’re a sucker for cute pet names, what can you say?

“Maybe.” You say, a hint of a teasing smile on your lips.

He looks unfairly gorgeous in the harsh florescent lights of the prep room, and you find your eyes wandering to his exposed forearms.

Miguel flexes his fingers, and your eyes shoot up. “I didn’t sleep well last night.” He admits.

“Oh no, what happened?” You ask, concern overriding the heated thoughts that were threatening to creep up on you.

He shrugs and holds the door open for you, matching your steps as you walk down the hall. “Not sure, just had trouble falling asleep and then I kept waking up.”

You give him a sympathetic look. “When I was a kid, I used to have the worst time falling asleep, and my grandma would give me a glass of warm milk with honey and a handful of silvered almonds.”

Miguel hums thoughtfully. “Did it work?”

“Knocked me right out.” You smile wistfully, remembering when you were just a kid, and you’d sit in the low light of your grandma’s kitchen, clutching the warm glass while she smoothed down your hair. The quiet song of night birds, the soft sounds of the house settling, the scent of honey, the taste of almonds on your tongue.

“I’ll have to try that.” He places a hand on your shoulder and squeezes, brief, and platonic, but genuine. “Thanks, y/n. You’re a good friend.”

Friends, right, that’s what you two were. Nothing more, nothing less.

“It’s what I do.” You pat his bicep, friendly, it’s a friendly gesture, and if you admire the tone of his arm, the raw strength you feel while you do it, then he doesn’t need to know that.

Miguel stops in front of your office, “I’m serious, y/n. You’ve been so helpful to me since I started working here, and I really appreciate it. I’m sure my constant questions can get annoying, but you always take them in stride, I’ve never met someone so kind.”

Your cheeks burn and you try to wave away his compliments. “I—it’s nothing, I’m sure anyone would be willing to help you out, not just me.”

He shakes his head, his gaze is burning into you, and you shiver. “No, it’s just you, you’re the only one. I hate to admit it, but I need you, y/n.”

Miguel is so close, when did he get so close? Your back is against the door frame, Miguel towering over you, caging you in, his cologne fills the air, he smells expensive, vanilla, wood smoke, night air, it’s intoxicating.

Your heart is pounding, beating against your chest, trying to escape and fling itself into Miguel’s grip. “You’re a good M.E. Miguel, you don’t need me.”

He chuckles, low, soft, vibrating in your bones. “No tienes idea de lo mucho que te necesito.” Trsl: You have no idea how badly I need you.

“What?” You ask softly, melting into the wall under the heat of his gaze, your eyes flitting from his, to his lips, then back again.

“Can I take you to dinner? As a thank you?” He asks, his voice curling around you, enrapturing, and ensnaring your attention.

Have his eyes always been so…mesmerizing? You can’t look away, they’re a swirling of colors, browns, and oranges, yellows, reds, the season of autumn contained within.

“Yes—I mean when?” You stumble over your words, every inch of you tuned into Miguel, desperate to feel his skin against you.

“Tonight?” He reaches forward and twirls a lock of your hair around his finger.

“Tonight? Shit, I can’t…” You have plans with Todd, unfortunately. No y/n, fortunately, he is your boyfriend who you care very much for, he’s hot, and smart, and nice. You’re happy to have plans with him.

“Why not? Afraid I won’t pick a good restaurant, that you won’t have a good time?” Miguel teases, still twirl, twirl, twirl, twirling your hair, wrapping it further around his finger.

Honestly, nothing could be as bad as last year, when Todd said he’d plan your whole birthday and picked a restaurant that only served food you were either allergic to or didn’t like. Then he complained about how expensive everything was.

“You got me.” You joke, giving Miguel a half-smile. “But no, actually, I have plans with Todd.”

“Skip them, let me take you out instead. We can go to Mama Rosa’s.” He smiles, dangling your favorite restaurant in front of you like bait on a hook.

You have been craving Mexican food lately, and Todd always acted like it was such a burden that you needed to eat after work. But not everybody worked from home, not everyone could just walk away from their job whenever they wanted to go get fast food.

I don’t know…he’ll be upset if I cancel on him the day of.”

Miguel pouts, literally pouts, his full lips soft, inviting, and you find yourself staring at them. “Why don’t we make it a double date, then?”

You jolt back, though there’s really nowhere for you to go. “You’re dating someone?”

“I wouldn’t call it dating, it’s more of a casual situation.” He drawls, bringing his hand up, his eyes fluttering for a split second as the hair wrapped around his finger brushes under his nose.

That shouldn’t make your stomach flip, it’s probably nothing, but you unconsciously squeeze your thighs together, at the way his voice comes out low and eager.

You couldn’t say no if you tried. Not with the way Miguel drops your hair, his hand sliding down your arm, his fingers tangling with yours and pressing your joined hands to his chest. “Please y/n, let me show you my thanks, even if it’s not just us.”

“Okay, I’ll tell Todd.”

It’s fucking embarrassing, sitting next to Todd who chose to sit across from Kasey, Miguel’s date, instead of you.

Kasey is beautiful, dark hair, brown eyes, flawless skin, and a gorgeous figure. One she proudly shows off, and that your boyfriend can’t stop sneaking glances at.

“So, Todd, y/n tells me you work in Finance?” Miguel says, cutting into his food, some weird ultra healthy, vegan mush that both Kasey and Todd insist tastes exactly like lasagna.

“Yeah, it’s great, get paid to sit at home run some calculations then pass the work on.” Todd says, cutting into his tofu.

You poke miserably at your salad; it has some dressing you can’t pronounce and lots of kale. Your stomach churns, eating itself from the inside out. You’re so damn hungry.

“Wow, that sounds amazing, I wish I could do that.” Kasey says her own tofu is half-eaten and looks slightly more appetizing than Todd’s.

“What do you do?” Todd asks, “besides having excellent taste in restaurants, the same as me.”

She giggles, “oh nothing special, just an office job, but I like it. It’s nice to have regular hours.”

“Hey, there you go, babe, you should work at Kasey’s office.” Todd slings an arm over your shoulder, and you bristle.

You’ve found yourself less and less comfortable with Todd’s affection, usually it leads to him demanding something more. “Why? I like my job.”

“Regular hours means you can stop complaining about being tired and kicking me out at night.”

Miguel’s eyes flicker to yours, his phone in his nondominant hand.

You bite the inside of your cheek and gently sit up, causing Todd’s arm to slide off you. “I went to school for my job, I enjoy it.”

Todd huffs, “yeah, but you always comp—”

“I don’t know what we’d do without y/n at the slab.” Miguel interrupts, sliding his phone onto the table face up. “She’s highly skilled and the care she shows for the deceased’s families is above and beyond what’s required of us as city employees.”

You feel your own phone buzz along with a flicker of hope. You casually slide it out, turning it to where Todd can’t see the screen. It doesn’t matter, though, he’s too busy arguing with Miguel.

Miguel: I’m sorry about Mama Rosa’s, near the end of the dinner do you want me to fake a work emergency? We can go get burgers.

Your heart flutters.

Y/N: Please, I’m so hungry.

Miguel’s eyes dart down to his phone, then he nods almost imperceptibly.

“Y/N is great, I’m not saying that, but maybe a more normal job would be better? Might pay more, too.”

“Not everything is about money.” You mumble.

“But isn’t it?” Todd shoots back.

Kasey laughs nervously, breaking the tension. “So, y/n, did Miguel tell you how he and I met?”

You shake your head, digging into your salad.

“Kasey, honey, that’s not a story for tonight.” Miguel says, a slight warning undercutting his neutral tone.

“Ugh you’re no fun, I’m going to get a drink. Todd, you want to do a shot with me?”

Todd stands before you can even react. “Yeah, I’ll have one.”

Then they leave, winding through the crowd, and disappearing from sight.

You push your plate away from you and take a sip of your water. “Kasey seems nice.”

“This food is terrible.” Miguel says at the same time.

You laugh. “It’s so bad, like so, so bad.”

Miguel leans back in his chair, stretching his arms behind his head. “She’s nice, a bit of a party girl, but nice.”

“You think it’s too early to leave?” You check your phone, it’s only eight o’clock.

“I say give it ten-twenty more minutes, then I’ll fake the call.” He leans forward, planting his elbows on the table, giving you a teasing smile. “Think you can hold out twenty more minutes for me?”

You nod, not trusting your own voice.

“Good girl.” Miguel says, looking back down at his phone as Kasey and Todd come back to the table.

You hate Miguel, hate that he so causally and in such a short time turned you on in this public space with your boyfriend just barely out of earshot. Hate how you want to ditch Todd and beg Miguel to fuck you in the bathroom, or ditch Todd and beg Miguel to take you to get real food. Either way, you want to beg Miguel for something, and you’ve never felt that way with Todd.

“No way, y/n you have to hear this. Kasey is that girl I was telling you about, from the bar. I didn’t recognize her because I was so drunk that night, but now.” He plops back into his seat, hand landing on your thigh. “We have so much to thank her for don’t we, babe?”

You give him a tight smile and remove his hand. “Maybe we don’t talk about this right now.”

“Oh, y/n, don’t be embarrassed, I was more than happy to help.” Kasey smiles at you.

There’s no malice in her smile, and you don’t dislike her, she’s sweet, and she probably doesn’t know that Todd took her advice and royally fucked it all up.

“You two have met before?” Miguel asks, joining the conversation with the subtly of a snake slithering through grass.

Kasey nods. “Yeah, downtown, he wanted some advice on helping his girl get off, so I told him some things that you do.”

Kill me, kill me now, please, death take me, I’m ready to die.

You want to crawl under the table and hide. There’s no way Todd did what Miguel does, Miguel has repeat customers, and unless you were truly broken, Todd had to have fucked up Miguel’s technique.

“Well, that’s nice of you?” Miguel says, patting Kasey’s hand.

“You’re just so good, Miguel, I had to tell someone.”

He laughs, and you can feel Todd tense beside you. “You flatter me.”

“Miggy come on, you’re the best I’ve ever had. Did you even get my voicemail?”

You’re going to scream, this is too much, you’ve got to get out of here.

As if sensing your discomfort, Miguel swipes his phone off the table and gets up, walking a bit away.

You all sit in silence, picking at your food until he returns.

“Sorry, emergency call, a couple of senior citizens died under mysterious circumstances, they need y/n and me to come back in.”

You stand, immediately, grabbing your purse. “Duty calls.”

“But what about—”

“This is why I said you should get a normal—”

You head for the exit, ignoring Kasey and Todd’s cries of protest, Miguel at your heels.

Fun fact, that birthday thing actually happened to me in my last relationship XD

When did you first start learning Spanish? And any basic learning tips? I have a few Spanish speaking coworkers but I get so nervous trying to practice my Spanish with them.... and and, when you were first learning Spanish, did you have any little things you found especially fun/funny?

Oh gosh it's been decades now. To give some backstory and you can do your own math here, this blog started in 2013 when I was still in college getting my degree in Spanish

I started in what I think would be middle school when Spanish became a mandatory class, but I didn't start really studying and understanding things until high school. It wasn't until even after college that I REALLY felt like I understood Spanish because there were so many native speakers and people interacting with me.

One thing that totally changed my perception and how I perceive Spanish was there was a question on the preterite and imperfect, and I'm giving my answer and trying to explain some bits about how a lot of times both are potentially correct but it's how you mean it that matters

And someone mentioned that "imperfect" in its linguistic etymology means "not yet completed"; that "perfect" is "done thoroughly" where the -fect is probably related to hacer "to do"... and "imperfect" thus means "not yet done", and just a huge lightbulb moment

I remember thinking "I WISH one of my teachers had known that or said that to me because it makes so much more sense now"

And I still mess up but usually it's followers like "oh we say THIS here" or "that's not the word we use but it reminds me of this thing in my country"

A few funny things in Spanish based on mistakes that I've made or things that I learned:

You haven't truly begun your Spanish journey until someone tells you that embarazado/a means "pregnant" not "embarrassed" (avergonzado/a).... similarly no one mentions that embarazoso/a means "awkward" or "unwieldy" in a way

querer means "to want", but it can also mean "to love" or cherish; similarly querido/a means "dear", but la querida can also kind of mean "side-piece" like someone's affair partner woman so if you see someone talking about their querida without a name or a noun they might be talking about an affair

el pelo is "hair", el cabello typically means "hair on the top of the head" like a human... and el cabello is NOT el caballo "horse"

the word for "eye-catching" is llamativo/a and NOT miradizo/a which miradizo/a is one of those old words but it kind of means "awestruck" or "makes you stare in wonderment" in a weirdly poetic way

sartén as "frying pan" can be masculine or feminine depending on country

there are too many words for beans

there are three main words for "purple" - la púrpura usually means "red-violet" or Tyrian purple and also the mollusk you get purple from; morado/a is often "dark purple" related to la mora which can be "blackberry" or "mulberry"; lila is "light purple" meaning "lilac".... you can also say violeta that's fine too

people say naranja for "the color orange" more than anaranjado/a but not everyone has the patience to explain that naranja which comes from the fruit doesn't change for gender

same with rosa as "pink", where rosado/a "pink" is also valid and usually what's taught

regionalisms. regionalisms everywhere

If you're in a really immature class, someone is going to laugh at puse

the word for "jellyfish" in Spanish is la medusa and that makes me happy

similarly, a male "horseman" is often el jinete; a female "horsewoman" or "rider" is sometimes la amazona and that also makes me happy

la macedonia is sometimes "fruit salad", so one assumes that Macedonians were just throwing fruit together in a bowl or something

Except for two big exceptions, most words ending in al- in Spanish are from Arabic origins [the exceptions being anything related to el almuerzo "lunch", and la almendra "almond"]

la manzana can mean "city block" in some places - probably because in a feudal society people lived in "manses" and the biggest house was the "mansion" where the lord lived, and it has nothing to do with apples

la montaña rusa is "roller coaster" literally "Russian mountain" because Russian people used to make little roller coasters by shaping ice mountains and putting tracks on them

la paja rusa does NOT mean "Russian straw", it is extremely NSFW and do not google it on a school server...... in fact don't look up any kind of paja because it's just as NSFW and it means "straw" if you're not talking about sex so otherwise don't worry about it

someone told me that linguistically para is just por+a, so parais literally "for the purpose of" or "for/so that to" and I've never been the same

the word for "ladybug" in Spanish is la mariquita which is "little Mary" because red used to be associated with Virgin Mary and the spots were said to be 7 and represent the joyful/sorrowful mysteries - many languages have a religious connotation to "ladybug"... also English, because the "lady" refers to Mary, like "Our Lady"

The Spanish alphabet used to be different where CH and RR were their own separate letters... it made looking things up weird; I also don't know how I feel about L vs. LL as separate letters because it's a whole other sound but it IS technically two L's

The word for octopus is el pulpo... the word for "pulp" is la pulpa; don't be like me and mix up asking for orange juice with no octopus

I cannot stress this enough but el pollo is "chicken" or "poultry"; la polla is a NSFW word meaning "cock" and as soon as you say you want cock for dinner you will die some on the inside

I don't know what the deal is with ahorita or what it means without hearing the tone of voice and neither does anyone else, it could be anything

caber is the worst verb, but ir/andar are also up there

every so often luego/pues means "thus" or "therefore" and it's going to throw you off

every so often el hacha (technically feminine) means candle or torch, and in any other situation it means "hatchet" so imagine my confusion when I read about people carrying axes around to see

all my life everyone told me never to use gustar without an indirect object and a friend from Puerto Rico says gusta to mean "cool" all the time and it made me question everything
