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! 😉
