What does this Spanish phrases mean in English? No contexts. 1. a tiros; 2. a la vasca; 3. a favor; 4. de uvas a peras.Already knew de uvas a peras: once in a blue moon, just got it online.

1- Tiro = gunshot; a tiros = shooting. ('A tiros' is different from 'a tiro'). 2- Vasco/a = someone/something from an area in northern Spain; ...a la vasca = Basque-style... (usually food). 3- A favor (de alguien o algo) = in favor (of someone or something) It's a little hard to guess their meaning out of context. I might be wrong.

Hi! "a tiro" means near or close to something It was very difficult for me to find a meaning for "A la vasca", because I'm not from Spain and apparantly only they use that word. I think "a la vasca" means a way of cooking something (for example, fried or crispy chicken), I'm not completely sure but I think "a la vasca" is when something, for example chicken, fish, ect, is cooked with coriander. It is related to País Vasco (part of spain) "a favor" means "in favor of..." or "agree with". for example: estoy a favor de de esta decisión -> I agree with this decission.

Actually, you just solved this "not getting along" is the most appropriate explaination to me.

I see this question has been resolved but, 'A tiros' might mean not getting along. Mi primo y yo nos llevamos a tiros = My cousing and I don't get along. It's not a mild feeling of dislike, either. You use this when you can't really stand someone.
