Discussion

Don’t worry: me too. Some words are old-fashioned and others are very local. This book is not at all easy.

Thanks Beba. There are lots of words in this book for which I can't find a translation in the dictionaries.

... urchins and for your mischievous little girl. ??

Thanks. Sorry for the typo. "Urchins" of course. She wouldn't use something like louts when speaking to the mother.

tagarotes: urchins, louts, lummoxes, hulking boys?
