👀⭐️ VER LAS ESTRELLAS

Es una expresión que se dice cuando te haces daño y sientes un dolor muy fuerte o mucho dolor. Generalmente se usa con cualquier golpe pero sobre todo si el golpe es en la cabeza. Seguramente has visto en comics las estrellas dibujadas sobre la cabeza de alguien que ha tenido un fuerte golpe. Pues no es sólo un recurso gráfico si no que es una expresión que se utiliza mucho.

- Ayer me golpeé el pie y vi las estrellas.
- Tengo un dolor de muelas que me está haciendo ver las estrellas.

🇬🇧🇺🇸Literally means TO SEE THE STARS. 👀⭐️

But is not just the action of seeing the stars. It’s an expression that people say when they hurt themselves and feel a very strong pain or a lot of pain. It is usually used with any blow, but especially if the blow is on the head. You’ve probably seen in comics the stars drawn on the head of someone who’s had a hard blow. Well, it’s not just a graphic resource, but it’s an expression that we used a lot.

- Yesterday I hit my foot and I “saw the stars”.
- I have a toothache that is making me “see the stars”.

✨Contrarios ✨

Hoy volvemos con los contrarios ➡️⬅️

Short = corto
Long= largo

Ejemplos:

• Tengo el pelo corto = I have short hair

• Tengo el pelo largo = I have long hair.

Remember that in Spanish we can say:
Largo - Larga
Mi tapado es largo - Mi falda es larga

Corto - Corta
Mi short es corto - La remera (camiseta) es corta

Los animales en español 🐶🐱🐭🐰🐹🐤

➡️Hoy veremos los animales domésticos ⬅️

Recuerden que algunos animales pueden escribirse distinto dependiendo de si son hembra o macho.
Por ejemplo:
El gato (macho) - La gata (hembra)
El pato (macho) - La pata (hembra)
El ratón (macho) - La ratona (hembra)
El conejo (macho) - La coneja (hembra)
EL perro (macho) - La perra (hembra)

🧐Pero hay algunos animales (sustantivos) que no cambian.
Por ejemplo: El pez

Así como PEZ no cambia, hay sustantivos que tampoco cambian y se llaman sustantivos epicenos. Estos sustantivos pese a estar escritos en masculino o femenino se refieren a ambos géneros por igual.
Ejemplo: Águila, Amante, Araña, Ballena, Bebé, Cantante, Cocodrilo, Delfín, Dentista, Guitarrista, etc.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

🐶🐱🐭🐰🐹🐤
Today we will see the pets

Remember that some animals can be written differently depending on whether they are female or male.

For example:
El gato (male) – La gata (female)
El pato (male) – La pata (female)
El ratón (male) – La ratona (female)
El conejo (male) - La coneja (female)
El perro (male) – La perra (female)

But there are some animals (or nouns) that do not change.
For example: El pez

As PEZ doesn’t change, there are nouns that do not change and are called “Epicenos” nouns. These nouns, despite being written in masculine or feminine, refer to both genders equally.

Example: Eagle, Lover, Spider, Whale, Baby, Singer, Crocodile, Dolphin, Dentist, Guitarist, etc.
