I am my company's translator/interpretor for basically any language...though my strength is in spanish. I have a word here that I do not know the meaning of, and it is bothering me. I have asked people from Mexico, and they do not recognize the word...so I am thinking it is a slain or maybe cuban...I dunno. Please help.
Berda = ???

It would to help if we knew where you met that word.
It seems to be a name/surname. However, berda is a musical instrument (but I think it is croatian word). See? Nonetheless, somewhere I heard it is a bass guitar about the size of a cello.

and larry, i have absolutely no idea what berda means. nothing in regular spanish, or argentinian or spaniard slang. so im guessing its a slang term used up in the north. or they switched the d for a t, cause berta is a name.

Que Macanudo, che!
You beat me to the translation of that paragraph, and I am glad, because I did not know the word docente! Anyway, Thanks everyone for your help. P.S. I began learning my Spanish from an Australian Argentine! Is that cool, or what???

Thanks Rompy... (sorry I never remember your name... [img]smile.gif[/img] ). I just got a thank you note from the lady, with best regards.
This is pretty funny, she got a mail from Argentina to Australia, asked my teacher (who is from Australia) here in Iceland, she asked her students and one of them got it from an Argentine in Spain... [img]smile.gif[/img] Ahh the wonders of the Internet [img]smile.gif[/img] |
