Don't Play a Joke on Me (I)

躺平 literally means “to lie flat.” But in modern Chinese, it’s more than just lying down—it’s about choosing to take a break from stressful competition. People use 躺平 to describe a relaxed or even lazy attitude toward life, especially when they feel overwhelmed by pressure.

Voir vs Regarder (l'histoire de Jean-Pierre)

El Preterito Imperfecto Subjuntivo se usa para expresar deseos en el pasado... como Alberto que le dice a Julio, que antes fue a su casa y no lo encontro. Porque queria que le preste su escalera y que miren el partido de los Nicks.

Bedside Italian

Bedside Italian #21 - Sono tornato!

A flight attendant approaches Matt to offer him a drink.


Flight Attendant
Would you like something to drink? We have soda, coffee and tea as well as alcoholic beverages.


Matt
Sure, how much are the drinks?


Flight Attendant
Non-alcoholic beverages are free of charge. Alcoholic drinks are five dollars each.


Matt
Ok. I'd like to have a cup of coffee, please. Are meals going to be served on this flight?


Flight Attendant
Dinner will be served halfway through the flight. I will also bring you a snack with your beverage.


Matt
Can we choose what we will have for dinner?


Flight Attendant
Certainly. I will be bringing the menu for you to choose from. We have chicken, fish, and beef.


Matt
Is a vegetarian meal available?


Flight Attendant
Yes, but only if you have requested a special meal when you booked your flight. If not, I will try to find some extra servings of vegetables for you.


Matt
That would be great. Thank you very much.
