Set expressions with the verb TENER
The verb tener, along with the verbs ser and estar, is one of the most commonly used in the Spanish language. “Tener” is translated as “to have,” but often in combination with certain nouns, it takes on a completely new meaning. For example, the well-known “tener hambre” - want to eat, “tener sed” - want to drink or “tener sueño” - want to sleep. You are also probably familiar with “tener miedo” - to be afraid or “tener dicha” - to be delighted. In addition to these most commonly used phrases, there are a huge number of others - less known, but no less important in the Spanish language. In this article, we'll introduce you to these little-known idioms and show you how to use them.
(Surprisingly, just today we went to the Zoological Museum, and voila - an issue about animals!)
Have you ever wondered what the word means? animal? It turns out that it is derived from the Latin anima- soul! That is, even despite the fact that we humans consider ourselves the smartest, most developed, etc. etc., we still recognize that animals have something more than just a physical body and a set of chemical reactions occurring in it;)
Another small digression before the avalanche of phraseological units. In such cases, if you need to indicate whether you are talking about a female or a male, use the words hembra/macho (la ballena hembra/ la ballena macho).
You can learn the names of animals in Spanish using this game.
Animales and aves domesticos
la rata- rat, el raton– mouse (several)
Ser un ratòn de biblioteca– lit. to be a library mouse, i.e. to be a bookworm: Hoy hemos venido al lugar donde veremos cómo no hace falta ser un ratón de biblioteca para darse cuenta que el mundo animal ha invadido nuestro vocabulario. ‘
el gato, el gatito- cat, kitten
aquí hay gato encerrado– lit. The cat is closed here, i.e. there is some secret
la curiosidad mató al gato– curiosity killed the cat, in our opinion “Curious Varvara had her nose torn off at the door”
los felinos– felines, animals from the cat family
el perro- dog; not to be confused with pero!
muerto el perro, se acabó la rabia– the dog died, and the rage ended; something bad ends when the cause of it is removed:
había mucho ruido en clase y como el profesor vio que Juan era el que incitaba a sus compañeros a hablar fuerte, le sacó de la clase. Así, muerto el perro se acabó la rabia.
El otro día María llevaba unas sandalias muy bonitas pero que le hacían mucho daño en los pies. Como no podía soportar más el dolor, decidió quitárselas y seguir caminando descalza, con lo que el dolor provocado por el roce de las sandalias desapareció. Muerto el perro se acabó la rabia.
Es como el perro del hortelano: ni come, ni deja comer al amo– he/she is like a gardener’s dog: he neither eats nor gives to his owner; neither to yourself nor to people
El que con niños se acuesta, mojado amanece/ Quien con perros se echa, con pulgas se levanta – those who go to bed with children get up wet; He who lies down with dogs rises with fleas; Whoever you hang out with, that's how you'll gain
Perro ladrador, poco mordedor– the dog barks but doesn’t bite
la gallina– chicken ( and ), el polillo – chicken
el gallo- rooster
el pato- goose
¡Al agua, patos!– lit. into the water, geese!, that is, let's get to work!: No perdemos más el tiempo, ¡al agua, patos!
el caballo- horse; a caballo regalado no le mires los dientes- they do not look at a given horse's teeth
Donkeys(sounds cuter than “donkeys” 😉 accompanied the Spaniards for many, many centuries, so it’s not so surprising that donkey has as many as 11 names in Spanish!
Burro (de borrico) = asno, burro and asno– two most frequent words
asno comes from Latin asĭnus – donkey
borrico– from Late Latin burrīcus – small horse
acémila(from Spanish-Arabic ár. hisp. azzamila, and it in turn is from classical Arabic ár. class. zāmilah – horse-drawn animal) – I often hear this word in the series in relation to stupid people ¡Acémilas! - Idiots!
rucio, rucho(from lat. roscĭdus – dew) – about the gray, ashen color of the color of animals. I remember Sancho often called his donkey rucio
jumento– I can’t say anything specific
pollino(from lat. pullīnus – young, about animals) – a young donkey
garañón(from Germanic *wranjo, -ons – tribal)- purebred donkey
onagro(from Greek ὄναγρος) – wild ass
el cerdo- pig

el cordero– ram
la oveja– sheep
la vaca- cow
el ternero– calf
el toro- bull
la cabra, el cabron- goat and goat. In Spanish, “goat” is also not only the name of an animal;)
la cabra siempre tira al monte– the goat always strives for the mountain; meaning: you cannot change human nature (especially if a person has a bad, evil character): Después de la bronca que se llevó el año pasado con el tema, esperaba que esta vez hiciera una propuesta de bonus razonable pero está claro que la cabra tira al monte.
Animales salvajes
Tener vista de lince– to have vision like a lynx, that is, to be very vigilant (also in a figurative sense)
in direct: Suelen estar en el centro de la jugada y de la polémica, sin perder detalle, con vista de lince…Y la tienen, vamos a comprobarlo. ¿Cuántas filas de letras de una ruleta son capaces de leer? Ellos, los árbitros internacionales, superan esta prueba en 15 segundos.
figuratively: “El Gobierno ya ve brotes verdes en la economía”
ser más listo que un zorro- be smarter than a fox. By the way, Zorro is, if translated, “Fox”!
estar hecho unos zorros- be wildly tired. Here, in fact, we are not talking about foxes at all, but about a broom for wiping off dust. If you imagine what such a broom turns into after a good cleaning, it will immediately become clear where this phrase came from)
Pasé todo el día limpiando el apartamento ya ahora estoy hecho unos zorros. No me apetece salir ni comer solo tumbarme en el sofá y beber un cafelito.
And the second meaning is “to look bad” (from fatigue, etc.), “to be rumpled”, “to have an unsightly appearance”, an excellent Russian equivalent is “exhausted”!
tener el colmillo retorcido– lit. have a crooked fang, i.e. have experience in something and use it to your advantage; or have a lot of experience in something and generally be cunning, so it is difficult to deceive such a person, about a person who “ate the dog at this.”
And you can also imagine this graphic image: a man is “loading granite” of some science, and from this even his teeth (more precisely, one - a fang) are bent.
colmillo retorcido is also used as a synonym for “cunning, cunning”: A pesar de su apariencia, y gracias al talento de colmillo retorcido de Tarantino, 'Amor a quemarropa' se alejó de los clichés de 'road movie' romántica al uso para convertirse en un auténtico filme de culto, dotado del toque asilvestrado y zumbón del creador de 'Kill Bill'.
De más tarde viene “su colmillo retorcido en las negociaciones, algo necesario para ser secretaria de Organización”, reconocen sus contrarios.
el abrazo del oso- disservice. The expression comes from La Fontaine's fable “The Bear and the Gardener”: El oso se vuelve “cazador de moscas” para complacer al jardinero, pero un día, al no poder rechazar la que su amigo tiene en la cara, coge una piedra y se la arroja, con el resultado que puedes imaginar..La moraleja = más vale un enemigo cuerdo que un amigo tonto.
hacer el oso- to pretend to be a bear, that is, to fool around
The hairy man in Spain is compared to a bear: es peludo como un oso.
Soft teddy bear - un oso de felpa / un peluche
There is also a funny saying with oso: El hombre como el oso, cuanto más feo más hermoso(A man is like a bear, the scarier the more beautiful (that is, the better)
vender la piel del oso antes de cazarlo– to share the skin of an unkilled bear (in Spanish, “to sell the skin of an uncaught bear”)
cuando menos te lo espera salta la liebre– when you least expect it, a hare jumps out, i.e. troubles come when you least expect them
ser un lobo con piel de cordero- to be a wolf in lamb's clothing, i.e. to be a two-faced person, outwardly all so good and correct, but in reality...
Two interesting (due to their complete opposite) expressions with the word fiera - wild beast, monster
hecho/a una fiera – furious: se me acercó hecha una fiera
Ser un fiera para algo– to be a master of something: Es una fiera para los negocios (he is an excellent businessman)
– have a phenomenal memory: Mi hermano tiene una memoria de elefante, le basta escuchar un relato solo una vez para ser capaz de relatarlo a la letra.
llorar con lágrimas de cocodrilo– cry crocodile tears (that is, fake ones): Será de las pocas veces que un ilegal no llora porque lo expulsan, o al máximo lo hará con lagrimas de cocodrilo.
volverse mico– become a macaque, i.e. get confused while performing some task: como siga tecleando tantas horas se va a volver
no es tan fiero el león como lo pintan– the devil (lion) is not as scary as he is painted
la serpiente – snake, la víbora – viper
tener lengua viperina– to have an evil, poisonous tongue (about a gossip, a slanderer), lit. have a tongue like a viper
hacer la cobra– lit. portray a cobra. I would never have guessed what this really means, because to me the cobra seems to be attacking the victim, but here we mean the image of a cobra that is dodging, evading its opponent! So, for example, a girl at a disco will hacer la cobra and the boyfriend she just met is very persistently trying to kiss her 😉
Cuando intenté darle un morreo ella me hizo la cobra.
Manolo estuvo toda la noche detrás de esa muchacha, pero ella le hizo la cobra.
no mentality la bicha– do not mention some unpleasant topic, moment, as in Russian “do not pour salt into the wound”: no le preguntes por su suegra porque es mentarle la bicha
¡lagarto, lagarto!– lit. lizard-lizard! exclamation that is used to “scare away” failure, bad luck: ¡huy, un gato negro..., lagarto, lagarto!
The lizard has nothing to do with it, of course. Largarse (get out, get out, leave) in the imperative has the form lárgate, and over time lárgate-lárgate turned into ¡lagarto, lagarto!
Las aves/los pajaros
el gorión- sparrow
la urraca- magpie, as well as “chatterbox, chatterbox”, and earlier this could also be a name. I remember a story about a Spanish infanta named Urraca, who was going to be married to a French prince. But in the end, Urraca’s sister, Blanca, or in French Blanche, went to France. Even though Urraca was more beautiful than her sister, she had such a dissonant name for the French ear that they preferred her ugly sister, but with a normal name! (This may be a historical story, I don’t argue, but girls used to really be called Urraca).
un par de tortolitos– a couple of turtle doves (about lovers)
ser un águila- be a very smart, quick-witted, insightful person
ir a cambiar el agua al canario– a euphemism for “to go to the toilet”, lit. go change the canary's water
esconder la cabeza como un avestruz- hide your head like an ostrich
no es moco de pavo– it’s not that simple (lit. it’s not a peacock comb)
un pavo– turkey
pelar la pava– lit. pluck the turkey, i.e. sharpen your belts, chat: La citada cumbre estaba llena de presidentes de Gobierno y de jefes de Estado, pero EL PAÍS eligió para ilustrar la noticia esta foto, cuyo pie decía: “El ministro de Exteriores cubano y su homóloga paraguaya.” Ni siquiera ponía cómo se llamaban el ministro cubano y su homóloga paraguaya, que evidentemente no están hablando del modo de hacer frente a los desafíos de la globalidad ni de los problemas del unilateralismo, no, están pelando la pava.
un pavo real, un pavón– peacock
Aguila es un ave rapaz- predatory bird
el milano - kite
ser un buitre(vulture) – cunning person, selfish
Los peces, mariscos y otros habitantes de los mares y océanos
caerle a alg la del pulpo(la in this case replaces la paliza - hit with a stick; the fact is that before you start cooking the octopus, it is thoroughly beaten so that the meat becomes soft) - to receive blows from someone, or to be criticized (that is, as if receiving blows in words): A los andaluces y asturianos les está cayendo la del pulpo. Se les trata como tontos por votar a los artífices de la corrupción y el paro en Andalucía, y por votar a un dictatorial y energúmeno Cascos en Asturias.
Summary of a Spanish lesson in a preschool educational institution
Topic: Pets
The lesson is conducted for children aged 5 years. Classes are held 2 times a week, 30 minutes each.
Target: Introduction of the topic, initial consolidation of vocabulary on the topic.
1. Organizing time.
Let's sing a greeting song:
Hola, hola!
Yo te digo “Hola”
Yo estoy bien
y espero que tambin.
2.
Dialogues with toys.
Dolls appear Paco and Carmen.
Hola, Carmen!
Hola,Paco!
Cmo ests?
Estoy bien, gracias, y t?
Tambin.
3. Introduction of material.
The teacher says: “Paco and Carmen have pets. Pets - animals dom sticos.”
Repetimos a coro “ animals dom sticos ” (children repeat in chorus after the teacher “ animals dom sticos").
The toys sit at some distance from each other. Pictures are laid out in front of them - the animals that the toy has. The teacher places a card in front of the doll and says in Spanish “Carmen (Paco) has a cat...”.
In total, 6 words are entered, 6 animals: cat, dog, chicken, rooster, horse, parrot.
|
Carmen tiene gato. Carmen tiene gallina. Carmen tiene loro. |
Paco tiene perro. Paco tiene gallo. Paco tiene caballo. |
The teacher repeats the names of the animals separately, pointing to the pictures.
Y ahora repetimos a coro . Students repeat the names of the animals in chorus after the teacher. The teacher says the word and shows it in the picture.
El gato, la gallina, el loro,
El perro, el gallo, el caballo.
The teacher mixes the cards so that there is no rhyme. Again the teacher points to the picture, says the word, and the children repeat.
4. Physical education minute.
The children are tired and are encouraged to move a little.
They stand near the chairs. The teacher begins to count in Spanish from 1 to 10, and the children slowly sit down in a chair.
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.
The children sat on chairs. Now they are on command " Levantaos "must stand up on command" Sentaos » sit down (stand up and sit down 4 times, must finish the exercise standing).
New task. Students must follow the teacher's commands.
“Manos arriba” - hands up,
“manos abajo” – hands down,
“manos atras” – hands back,
“manos adelante” – hands forward.
The teacher says a command and shows one of the above gestures, although he may show it incorrectly. Those students who make mistakes and execute the command incorrectly lose.
5. Primary consolidation of the material.
The teacher repeats the names of the animals again for the children. Then, students close their eyes ( Cerramos los ojos ), and the teacher hides one picture.
Students open their eyes ( Abrimos los ojos ) and the teacher says " Adivina, adivina " (guess). Students must guess which picture has disappeared.
