Spanish With a Tango Twist

🔮¿Viernes 13 o Martes 13?🔮
En muchos países de América Latina y en España, el día de la mala suerte no es el viernes 13, sino el martes 13.
Existe un refrán muy popular que dice:
"En martes 13, ni te cases, ni te embarques, ni de tu casa te marches."
Este refrán aconseja no tomar decisiones importantes ese día: no casarse, no hacer viajes ni hacer cambios grandes.
¿Y por qué el martes?
Porque el martes está asociado con Marte, el dios romano de la guerra, y el número 13 con la mala suerte. Una combinación poco prometedora.
¿Y tú? ¿Crees en estas supersticiones?

Friday the 13th or Tuesday the 13th?
In many Latin American countries and in Spain, the unlucky day isn’t Friday the 13th, but Tuesday the 13th.
There’s a popular saying that goes:
"En martes 13, ni te cases, ni te embarques, ni de tu casa te marches."
(On Tuesday the 13th, don’t get married, don’t take a trip, and don’t leave your house.)
This traditional saying warns against making big decisions on that day: don’t get married, don’t travel, and don’t make big life changes.
Why Tuesday?
Because Tuesday is linked to Mars, the Roman god of war, and 13 has long been a symbol of bad luck. Not a great mix.

What about your country? Do you believe in these kinds of superstitions?

Did you know that “support” in English doesn’t mean “soportar” in Spanish?
Don’t get tricked! 😉
