Hola! Time to learn another word from the hermoso Spanish language! Today you aprenderás the word alabar.
Alabar means to praise. Can you say «alabar»?
Oye! You did such a great job with that, por qué no have a bonus round? I'll teach you two otras ways to say to praise: loar y elogiar.
Can you say «loar»?
How about «elogiar»?
Muchas gracias!
Stop teaching them niche words, nobody actually uses them on a day to day basis >>12978859

Sorry, can you tell me what this word means? It's not used on a day to day basis so I never learned it. >>12978868
You don't start teaching non-Spanish speakers the niche words at first now that I think about it, I never learned how to tell time in english Is this related to alabaster? Making statues of people as a form of praise? How fascinating. >>12979033
Nope. Alabar comes from the Latin "alapārī", meaning at first "to slap" then in later Latin "to boast". Alabaster comes to English via Latin from ancient Greek ἀλάβαστος, meaning a a handleless vase for storing perfumes. This word itself may have originated from the Egyptian ꜥj-r-bꜣstjt, meaning "vessel of (the god) Bast", but this is uncertain. >>12978951
When did you learn English and why >>12979172
I started getting familiar with the language when I was about 8 or 9 years old in 2009, specifically because I played a lot of flash games and most of them were in English.
They taught English in high school, but I never really studied it; I never needed to. I've always relied on Google Translate to communicate, lole. >>12978951
It's pretty easy. Just say the name of the hour number, then the name of the minute number. So if it's 11:45 you say " it's eleven forty-five." Then you might say either AM or PM afterwards if necessary.
Some old people don't do this and say weird things like "it's a quarter to 1" or "it's half past 9" and they always confused me as a kid. But don't talk like an old person. >>12979193
You really took the time to write me a concise explanation, thank you, it wasn't something I was expecting.
