A linguistic question: Do you know the Spanish word, “postureo”?. (I) No, wait, don't rush to consult “wordreference”, “googletranslator”, even though in RAE dictionary (“Real Academia de la Lengua Española”, the authority in Spanish language questions), because you will don’t find it. It is cause “postureo” is a new word, become popular right now; we don’t know if this word will survive (I think no). If it survives finally, we shall have a neologism. I will try to explain the maning of this word, but before, let me tell you how I knew it. It was in a radio program that I usually listening; one of its sections is dedicated to Spanish language, and specifically mind of “dying words”, old words whose use is losing, or only used in a little territory. During the last summer they changed and they have taken on “nascibundas” words. Don’t look to the dictionary either. It is an invented word, composed by the start of Latin verb “nascere “ that mean to birth , and “bunda”, as in “moribunda”. Then “nascibundas” are the words that are being born right now. To be continued . . .

Parece que tiene una connotación negativa.

No lo conocía,el futuro dirá si sobrevive.

Muy buena suerte con tu aprendizaje del inglés.
