The cow was notoriously cheap, so it surprised everyone when she voted yes for the secret Santa
scheme. It was the horse’s suggestion, and she backed it immediately, saying, “I choose the turkey.” The pig, who considered himself an authority on all things gifty, cleared his throat. “That’s not actually the way it works,” he said. “It’s secret, see, so we each draw a name and keep it to ourselves until Christmas morning.” “Why do you always have to be like that?” the cow asked, and the duck sighed, “Here we go.” “First you ask me to give someone a Christmas present,” the cow continued, “and then you tell me it has to be done your way. Like, ‘Oh, I have four legs so I’m better than everyone else.’ ” “Don’t you have four legs?” the pig asked. The cow loosed something between a moan and a sigh. “All right, just because you have a curly tail,” she said.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the Chinese character “末” and explore its many meanings and uses. From indicating the end of a period (like the end of the month or year) to describing the final stages of a process, "末" is a surprisingly versatile word. I’ll walk you through its different contexts and share some useful examples to help you understand its role in everyday Chinese. Tune in to learn how to use this essential character like a pro:

周末 (zhōu mò)
中文解释：一周的最后两天，通常是指星期六和星期天。
英文解释: The last two days of the week, usually referring to Saturday and Sunday.

月末 (yuè mò)
中文解释：指一个月的末尾，通常是指月的最后几天。

¿Qué es el lenguaje?

Segun Google es la capacidad propia del ser humano para expresar pensamientos y sentimientos por medio de la palabra, pero estamos claros de que esto cambia dependiendo su contexto mas que todo histórico. Basta con moverte un poquito geográficamente dentro de latinoamerica para darte cuenta que lo que para ti significa algo en otro país significa algo completamente distinto.

En el siguiente episodio te invito a acercarte un poco mas al Ecuador conociendo sus expresiones, su jerga, y el contexto histórico de estas palabras.
