Gracias por tu ayuda. Maybe somebody tell me the meaning of candombera. I heard it in a song of natalia oreiro. 'Soy del rio de la plata, corazon latino, soy bien candombera, llevo siempre una sonrisa...'

"candombera" comes from candombe, and it applies to a woman that dances to that rythm
el candombe es un ritmo de uruguay, principalmente de la capital del pais, montevideo (natalia oreiro es uruguaya), es como una samba brasilera, o una murga argentina... un ritmo muy alegre, que se bailaba por las calles con tambores y otros instrumentos musicales. originado hace siglos con gran influencia africana por la cantidad de esclavos provenientes de aquel continente en las epocas coloniales de sudamerica
es musica tipica de carnaval

hope this helps

Thanks bagurl about candombera also you explained very clearly the difference between un and una but I don't know which word is masculine or feminine in spanish. For example I don't know noche or nube or sol is masculine or feminine.

Please can someone translate them into Spanish?

If I give you a rule... you will find many exceptions. Many times, if a word ends in "'a", it is going to have the femine form. WOrds with "o" at the end more often than not, have a masculine form. WOrds with "e", can go either way.

So.... la luna, la mesa, la silla.....
of course there is el planeta, and la mano... so you see how that is not always consistent but it gives you a start, of sorts.

When you learn each noun, make sure that you also learn if they are feminine or masculine. Always learn each individual word with the words un/una or la/el infront of it, so you learn it as a combination:

la fiesta
el pescado
la taza
la pluma
el boligrafo

una mesa
un lapiz
un papel
una mano
un pie

Thank you so much. This is very helpful!

what is pasarse de verga? i hear se pasan de verga a lot, but since verga means so many things i don't really get it (i hope they're not passing their junk around jaja)

English translation please!

Y qué le digo yo a este corazón.

And

cómo lo hago sin ti

well, verga in argentina means d1ck, what we say here es "hacerse el pija" o "pasarse de pija" (pija and verga are synonyms)

so it may mean, "pasarse de listo" or "be a smart a s s", but I don't know in other countries...
