Not everyone does translations.... I generally avoid them.

At post number 102, I wrote this:
Challenge:
a) Write in your TL which fruit is your favorite and why you like it;
b) Find at least one idiom or proverb in your TL that contains a fruit, or the word fruit
itself.
This could work as a challenge. If not, I may think of something else then. We may join
the other ideas, like Crush's, and leave it planned for a few months ahead.

Veo a menudo "luego que" ... pero no creo que su uso se limite a Argentina y México. En varios hilos del subforo español de Wordreference, lo han explicado como un sinónimo de "después de". |

Claro, porque cualquier español hispanohablante debería enteneder lo que significa. Sin embargo yo no lo he oído en España (lo cual no quiere decir que ningún español lo use, sólo que a mí al menos me lo parece).

Entonces, ¿cuál sería la diferencia entre "después que" y "después de que"? Yo siempre creía que significaban lo mismo. |

Y así es. "Espero a (Pedro)" y "espero (el autobús)" también significan lo mismo, ¿verdad? Usar uno u otro es cuestión del contexto exacto, aunque ahora mismo no se me ocurren ejemplos.

Otra cosa que me confundía mucho era el uso de "llevar" y "traer". No sé por qué me causaba tantos problemas, pero era algo que siempre me tenían que corregir. No sé si ahora lo tengo claro o si se han cansado ya de corregirme :P |

Entonces hay que probar a usarlo y ver qué pasa. Un caso parecido es "ir" y "venir". Cuando llaman a alguien responde "voy", pero en inglés, traducido, es "vengo" :P
Por cierto, según las reglas ¿no deberíamos mantener esta discusión en inglés? (con un poco de suerte así no se descubriría que en realidad no sé más español ;)

My active Spanish is sleepy, but no, in the log subforum it's totally cool. Although for non-language specific things it's better to use English, like when suggesting challenges or discussing the differences between the Iberian languages.

@mrwarper: Thanks for the clarifications. I've also never heard "luego que" in Spain, i think it's strictly a Latin American thing. As for the example with "espero", the meaning is the same but you can't interchange the two forms. You wouldn't say "Espero Pedro" and neither would you normally say "Espero al autobús". With "después que" and "después de que" i figured they could be used interchangeably, though i pretty much always will use "después de que".
I also figured people would rather read something in Spanish/Portuguese/Catalan than English as a bit of extra practice, but if others have trouble understanding it, are afraid of my mistakes, or just prefer to use English, that's fine, too. In any case, i'm always glad to help out when i can if anyone has questions, even if i'm not the most qualified. So, to everyone else, if you want to try writing in your target language, please don't be shy!

Sí, pero todxs sabemos que cuando te dicen "¡Ya voy!" es que todavía van a tardar un buen rato en venir ;)

I thought it could be better to use that in the absence of a straightforward question, because stuff with short examples may never end. F.e. one could say "espero que llueva" or "espero a que llueva" and–are these really interchangeable? In principle they are, but in fact you need to have a look at the context (or make up some) to tell, to see if the first "esperar" means "to hope" or "to wait", etc., etc.

My last line was obviously a joke, so for the record I'm fine either way (except that I don't speak Portuguese, etc. :)

Yes, that!!!

Es que la relación entre lo que alguien dice y lo que quiere decir sólo es obvia esa persona, y los demás sólo pueden intentar acertar :)
A: "¿Podría decirme la hora?"
B: "Sí."

This is a film in archaic Portuguese:
Desmundo
Don't know how authentic it is, though.
