    Yup, sorry! A phrase like the one you used, once I understand it, always makes me reach for my Spanish-speaking political roots :D

    Em did you mean vamos KC? Not come across vamonos. Don't think there's any vamosing or vamonosing here at the moment - election has led to another stalemate :(.

    Ooh! I was taught that "vamonos" is the plural, i.e. let *us* go. And thank god whoever these people are are saying it too: http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/v%C3%A1monos.

    The colloquialisms might be a teensy bit different because I learned it from South and Central Americans :o:p

    That's interesting as in Spain Spanish it's vamos for let's go :) but vamonos comes up on some translation sites. Will remember that if I ever go back to South America :T. (Well actually, I'll be lucky if I remember vamos let alone a variation of it :rotfl:).

    It's the reflexive bit - nos vamos - as an imperative. So the reflexive pronoun - nos - gets put on the end. Losing the 's' is 'just what they do'. Definitely Spain Spanish.

    Teacher mode off!

    So, far too advanced for me - it's not even in the bits I haven't got to yet :eek:. Anyway, SHS is back at work today so too late :D.

    No news on the viewing SHS?

    Too advanced for me too - I learnt it on the principle of "monkey see, monkey do" :eek:
