What does "KEEP" mean in Spanish???

The verb KEEP has dozens of meanings and multiple uses in English, but its main counterparts in Spanish are the following four verbs: Mantener(se) - Quedarse – guardarse – guardar

-If you keep something (when you don't lend, give, return or pass something) ---► Te quedas (con) algo
“keep the change” “quédese (con) el cambio”

-If you keep something secret ---► guardas algo (Also ocultar, if you keep it hidden)
“He keeps an ace under his sleeve” “guarda un as bajo la manga”

-If you keep a certain condition or quality, or remain in a certain state ---►(te) mantienes en un estado
“Keep calm” “mantén la calma” “Keep yourself calmed” “Mantente calmo”
“Keep your head up” “mantén tu cabeza en alto”

-If you keep/store something in a place or put it away or back to its place ---► guardas algo (en su lugar)
“Can you put your books away please?” “Por favor guardas tus libros?”

-BONUS TRACK: SAVE
-If you save a digital file or document ---► lo guardas
“I forgot to save the file” “Olvidé guardar el archivo”

-If you save money or time ---► ahorras dinero o tiempo
“Five great tips for saving money” “Cinco grandes consejos para ahorrar plata”

Now try and practice with these sentences:

-You keep yourself in good shape
-Don't keep those tips for you
-How do you keep informed?
-Save that document, just in case
-Keep your ugly face away from here
-I don't want your help. You can keep it

ASÍ & ASÍ QUE (PART 2)

Apart from expressing consequence and purpose, “Así” is a very common word, frequently used in everyday expressions in Spanish. Let's take a look at just a few of them:

Asi que...: to express surprise, disbelief or upset (often implying some kind of bad karma, negative effect or punishment may follow); to mock or laugh at someone
“¿Así que te has comido toda la torta...?!”
“Así que vas a salir a la calle con ese sombrero...?”

Así: like this, in this way
“Así se hace”
“Tenemos que decorar la sala así. Así como en esta foto”

Así se habla: Well said, Now you're talking!
“-Esta vez voy a ganar la carrera” “-Muy bien, así se habla!”

Así está bien: I'm fine/ It's ok like this (that)
“-¿Más vino?” “-No, gracias, así está bien”

Así como así: when something is done easily or even in a careless manner
“¿Entonces vas a dejar el trabajo así como así?

Así es: That's right, that is correct
“-¿Entonces vas a dejar el trabajo así como así?” “-Así es”

ASÍ vs. ASÍ QUE (PARTE 1)

When it comes to comparing English and Spanish grammar, a baffling pair of expressions is "ASÍ" and "ASÍ QUE": así que... 😉 let's take a closer look at it:

While ASI is often confused with "So" and ASÍ QUE with "So that", it's actually the other way around: ASÍ introduces a purpose whereas ASÍ QUE expresses a direct consequence or conclusion.

A few examples:

"Te hago un descuento ASÍ podés (puedes) comprarlo" = "Te hago un descuento para que puedas comprarlo" = "I'll give you a discount SO (THAT) you can buy it" (Purpose, goal)

"Te hago un descuento, ASÍ QUE no te vayas" = "I'll give you a discount, SO don't go" (direct consequence)

Now try to fill out these sentences:

-Tenemos que salir para la fiesta……………..……vestite pronto.
-Andrés pagó las entradas…………………..tenemos que darle la plata a él.
-Me prestó el libro………….………podía estudiar.
-Hoy va a llover……………………no te recomiendo lavar el auto.
-Toma este comprimido………………….te sentís mejor pronto.
-Compré un libro de español……………….. puedo practicar.
