I am

Welcome!
Thank you for being with us week after week, for your comments, for listening
and participating in this family that is Spanish in Cabo. Again, we will speak
in Spanish, you can read the written version and if you need the English
version you have the help of our “catrín” Larry, that is, you click on that
image and that's it...
If you
listen to us week after week you already understand much more, don't you? And
if this is the first time you open the 5 minutes, where were you? Finish this
episode and then look for us on SpanishUp2U, on Spotify, on RRS.com, Amazon
Music, Apple podcast, on the SpanishInCabo blog, we are everywhere, ¿viste?
Yes,
but now try to understand the context, not word by word, remember that Spanish
has many cognates, that is, similar words in other languages, such as English
and French. Once you identify them it is easier.
But
today we are not going to talk about a cognate, at least not with English or
French. It is a word that is spelled and pronounced the same but has two very
different meanings We also use it as a question to reaffirm something or to call
attention, ¿viste?
What
did I see? I don't see anything new, what's the word?
“Viste”,
that's the word.
Ah,
sure! Let's see if you've heard these expressions:
Have
you already seen it?
You
didn't see that!
You
saw the movie stars
She
dresses like a schoolteacher
“Viste”
is the second person singular of the Pretérito Indefinido of the verb to see, “ver”:
Did
you see what happened to me yesterday?
No
I
overslept and was late for the meeting.
Did
you see the movie "The Godfather"?
Yes of
course, who didn't ....
Also,
we dress related to wearing a suit or clothes.
He
dresses very well, he is elegant.
Pepito
is the designer who dresses Hollywood stars.
He
always wears white and it looks great on him.
You
can dress a table with a tablecloth, at a party, for example.
If you
want to travel around the State of Mexico you can go to Chiconcuac, "the
municipality that dresses the world", it is a cultural tourism destination
where hand-spun textiles are produced, as well as typical food and other
handicrafts. If you want to visit this traditional region, Eduardo and
Alejandro help you with Unique Trips and you will have your personalized trip
with a special price. Did you see that we did not forget the advertising
moment?
We
also have the reflexive verb: to dress or to cover the body with clothes. I
dress in fashionable clothes, you dress quickly, he dresses poorly, we dress,
they dress.
He
dresses with the first thing he finds, he wears anything, he used to be very
different, when we met he dressed very well Do you know someone like that?
In
social media (Instagram, Facebook) and the media the expression is used a lot:
Have
you seen it yet? Or the never seen it
I
remember an old advertising....
No,
again with an old advertising
It started
like this:
Did
you see it? Did you see it?
El
Mago dress you. It was a men's clothing store...Then came a song that
It
made a rhyme between quality - age - exclusivity...
Do you
remember it, shall I sing it?
No,
please don't sing it.
Ah,
did you see how they repress me, did you see?
We
don't say listen in this case, we use to see, did you see?
