What is our topic today?

 

We are in December and it seems to us that we were just in the last Christmas, a short time ago we were talking about the 4th of July and now we are in the last month of the year.

 

Well Malena, we know that time goes by, but let's not be so negative, we are only in the first days of December. I remind you that we have 5 minutes, I repeat: What is today's topic?

 

I know, that's why in this podcast 173 we are going to talk about the term "recién" (just, recently).

 

What does "recién" mean?

 

“Recién” - recently is an adverb used to indicate the time elapsed from a specific moment to the present or to highlight the novelty or freshness of something. It is commonly used to express that something has happened recently or that it is in a fresh or recent state.

 

Shall we see some uses?

 

It is used to refer to events that happened a short time ago in relation to the present time

 

Recién llegué a casa. / I’ve just arrived home.

Another use?

 

To express newness or freshness: It is used to emphasize that something is freshly baked or in a fresh state.

 

Example: Este pan está recién horneado. / This bread is freshly baked.

The bread fresh out of the oven is delicious!

 

Another place where you may hear the word fresh is in reference to newborns.

Newborn babies need a lot of attention.

 

Finally, recién can indicate that someone is just arriving in a situation and will need to adapt.

María recién llegó al taller de español y necesita adaptarse un poco a cómo funciona y conocer a todos los compañeros. / María has just arrived at the Spanish workshop and needs to adapt a little to how it works and get to know all the classmates.
