Oh! thanks Ed.

Comrades .... Compagneros y Compagneras ... vamonos!

smallholdingsister

Thanks Tilly. And Ed.
er...Spanish KC?!

Karmacat

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

smallholdingsister

Cool.
I have been quite productive today but also spent a fair bit.

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

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 .

No news on the viewing SHS?

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