No news, just a funny story .I was wondering a few weeks ago , after he won the GP race, what the translation was from Spanish to English?
Keep in mind that I think the hardest thing in the world to do is to learn a second language!
Moreover, every latin country has different meanings for virtually the same word. A couple of years ago I was speaking with Julio, a young man from Salvadore who we have practically adopted and who works for me on the farm, and I referred to him as a Hombre! Which I assumed meant a tough guy, right? Well---a few hours later he was still waiting for me to serve fish Tacos, his favorite, cause he thought I had asked him if he was hungry?
I asked Julio to translate EL PADRINO for me, and he says, I think, that it is a groom or the best man in a wedding. Then, in speaking with the TAP barn, they kept referring to him as " the GODFATHER". Then I see FB's post yesterday where he does likewise, so I get a spanish dictionary, which I keep handy for Julio, and low and behold, it is " THE GODFATHER"
Or it could be a groom or best man? Depends what Latin country the name came from!
