I �m not sure what the phrase means... can you help with the context? se te nota en la piel: same thing... I �m not sure about the context! Hope it helps!! |

Hi caroay and Zora!
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
-me paso por encima: it means that something was too difficult for you to handle, or that you couldn �t do anything about that. It �s more than you can handle, something like that.
By the way, got one more for you...
-no te olvides de los pobres: this expression means that you shoudn �t forget about the people who was by your side when you were going through difficult times once you get rich or famous in life.
Thanks again!!! You �re being supeeeeeerrrrrr helpful!!!!!!!!

This is what I have seen / heard...
- empanadas: pasties
- trucho: phoney
- this is/ has been / was overwhelming
- It shows ...
- I was born in the forties
- don �t forget about the poor |

I agree with you vivi. I �ve heard in many Tv soap operas The words overwhelming and also phoney. The rest just look fine to me |

What about: lugar de paso??? It means a place where you go but you have no intention to stay.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!
By the way, how do you call the person who films a wedding party???

A note on empanada.... These things don�t exist in Britain, so we don�t have a direct translation. A pasty is quite different (and less tasty!).
