Language Bloopers, or Don’t leave Tina alone in Buenos Aires

Posted by Tina

Today I mixed up “cansada” with “casada” and I think I told a waiter that “I’m married, but after this coffee I won’t be.”

Oops.

I can thank my lucky stars that he knew what I actually meant (”tired”, not married), and corrected me - with a smile.

And cuidado with the word embarasada. Doesn’t mean embarassed, it does mean pregnant.
