I’m trying to understand a Spanish idiom (from Spain, specifically Toledo area)

Any Spaniards here willing to explain to me “te estoy dando la noche”?

Está bien si lo explicas en español, solo quiero entender mejor como se usa.

From context clues I think I understand the intent but I’d like to find an English idiom that aligns…

Can anyone offer a better translation for “siento las miradas” other than “I feel the looks” ?

(For the context of feeling like you’re in a precarious position or that people are going to judge you)

is this a common idiom?

“tenía que estallar el globo de colores”

but not in the literal sense of popping a balloon - more like the English idiom “the dam had to break” when referring to something that was held back is now unleashed

Today we're gonna talk about Arachis hypogaea or . Europeans borrowed the name from indigenous American languages, from Nahuatl, and from Tupi. As cultivation spread to Africa, Dutch took the term "pinda," from Kongo "mpinda."

Can anyone recommend the app for practice?
I'm at intermediate level with . Reading comprehension & speaking are ok, but I'm struggling when listening to others - it's like my ear/brain is not primed for it outside of certain scenarios, e.g. at the shops.
I tried an online intercambio yesterday but it was a bit too advanced for me & most of the others I can find on meetup.com where the times work for me are either beginner or advanced.

I bought on the mid-week sale. Some of you know that the themes within the game are what I burn for. I couldn't pass the opportunity, and I want to play it in if the language is there. However, I greatly suck at and pair it with the hell will be palpable. But I got all discounted DLC with soundtrack and art books 🥲 controllers are gonna fly 🥹

Alrighty my friends, I've arrived at my other Spanish kryptonite: subjunctive. 😱 These feel like commands but they aren't. How should I frame my thinking with these?

I finally figured out para/por as well as caminé/caminaba, so I'm hoping you can help my brain get past this as well 😉

A question about gender and language for my Spanish-speaking plans. In this age of gender non-conformity, has “le” been adopted as a direct object pronoun if gender is not specified?

Also, is there Spanish-language equivalent for “Ms.” if a woman’s marital status is unknown?

I find how languages evolve with the times to be fascinating

"Hundreds of pro-#Palestine rioters attacked a synagogue in the #Spanish enclave of Melilla in North Africa while worshippers were inside Wednesday evening, according to Spanish media reports.

The rioters shouted “murderous #Israel” in front of the Or Zaruah #Synagogue and waved Palestinian flags until police dispersed them, a report in the newspaper El Independente said."

Last week's news.

Also, is the word "bruja" in Spanish in any way related to the word "brouhaha"? Witches tend to cause unrest and disturbances, and such.

What does "camiseta" mean? Usually it means t-shirt but in some countries it might refer specifically to a sleeveless t-shirt, along with musculosa or bividi.
