‘Juicioso’ May be It Does not Translate in the Way we Think

At the point when I came to Colombia in 2009, I showed up reasoning that I had a beautiful stronghold on Spanish. OK, there were words I didn’t have the foggiest idea, however, I was sure that every one of my long stretches of considering the language in school would be sufficient to present me high middle of the road or even low progressed status. How guileless I was.

Indeed, I was truly inadequate in real collaboration with local speakers. This implied two things: I was unable to talk in a way that verged on seeming normal, and my capacity to comprehend local speakers was considerably more horrifying. My expanded fearlessness experienced a sensational plunge.

The present word stamped one of those devastating minutes when reality started to soak in. One of those words that pounded home the discouraging decision that possibly I wasn’t a particularly Spanish superstar all things considered. Perhaps my Spanish was horrible. What’s going on?

Phrases for Greeting

It was my first end of the week in Colombia, and I was at the place of certain family members of the family I was living with. An uncle, Orlando, jaunty as could be, welcomed me by saying something with the impact of:

¿Qué más, mi niña? ¿Juiciosa?

And I said, what?

The trivial syllables savagely ricocheted around in my cerebrum, just for me to come up the void. It was forlorn. Soon thereafter, I went to the word reference for direction. Presently, the word reference will reveal to you that juicioso implies prudent.

The thing structure juicio is likewise utilized.
