    Acacia you are right, it's that part of your body that is causing havoc. That reminds me of a friend I have who is also talented in that department. We always go to clubs together, all the guys buy her drinks and she gives them to me :P Now don't think you own the world now

    Haha I just saw "La Jevita"... that's funny. Well, what kind of things are you looking for in that country? How cool the people are, quality of schools, places to visit?

    the whole package, or as much of it as i can get, lol. i would like to stay in central america/puerto rico rather than going as far as south america. all i really want is to first hand experience the language, but having a good time is important also ;]

    y por qué es 'la jevita' comica? lol

    If I were you I would go to Costa Rica because I am a big fan of the animal kingdom and Costa Rica has more biodiversity than all of North America and Europe in such a small piece of land. It's simply the most beautiful place in the region when it comes to nature. The people there are super cool too... But then again I would recommend that you read a little on each country you are considering to see what adventures await you there. Other than, have fun and remember there's fighting going on in Colombia lol

    muchas gracias arux, i will definently consider costa rica, i love rain forests anyway. you may not know, but other than the 'trafficing' and gang-violence going on in honduras, why is everyone saying it's so dangerous to go over there right now? or is it because of those things?

    Thanks! But to clarify - the "lo" that is added onto some of these words you don't find in the dictionary

    like:

    dimelo
    hacerlo
    vivelo etc.


    so I guess my question is - when you add the "lo" to the end of a word like that - where does it come frorm, why? and is universal in the language...

    The difference between a normal verb and the same verb with the 'lo' at the end is the following. I will use the verb vivir to make the point:

    "Vive" = "Live" i.e. "Vive la vida" {live your life}

    But what if I want to say in Spanish, "Don't waste your life, live it"?
    If I say "No desperdicies tu vida, vive" I am saying don't waste your life, live" (notice the difference from what I wanted to say originally).

    So the only way I could say "Don't waste your life, live it" is "No desperdicies tu vida, vivela". But wait a minute, you say, I see "la" instead of "lo". Well, as you know, in Spanish the verb and the noun have to agree not only on the tense but on the sex too. Vida is a female noun so you use 'la' instead.

    For example:

    "Matalo" = "Kill him"
    "Matala" = "Kill her"

    You can't say "mata a ella", only "matala". However you can say "Mata a Maria" or "mata a esa persona". You only use "la" and "lo" when you want to say "kill it" or "kill him/her"

    In the case that there are several women present and you need to specify which one is to be killed (LOL) you may choose to be more specific as to whom "la" or "lo" is refering to. You can then opt to say "matala a ella(pointing to her)". It is used the same way as kill him/her is used in English. It was invented to avoid repeating the same noun over and over in the same sentence, which sounds dumb.

    For example:

    There is no need to say "I love Maria so much that I want to kiss Maria and hug Maria all the time". Once you have established what "her" is, you can say "I love Maria so much that I want to kiss her and hug her all the time."

    Same in Spanish:

    "Amo tanto a Maria que quiero besar a Maria y abrazar a Maria todo el tiempo" is much better said "Amo tanto a Maria que quiero besarla y abrazarla todo el tiempo."

    Oh and this is universal, not slang or local vocable. Puedes usarLO donde quieras! :P
