En español hay nombres que además de un plural, tienen un nombre colectivo que hace referencia a un conjunto o agrupación de cosas. Estos nombres colectivos hacen referencia a algo plural pero irónicamente son gramaticalmente singulares.

En el episodio de hoy te explico los nombres colectivos y hablo de algunos de ellos.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio.  Después de escucharlo no te olvides de decirme 

-si conocías los nombres colectivos que menciono en el episodio

-y, si conoces algún otro.

A passenger was arrested at an Australian airport after he left a parked airplane through an emergency exit, walked along a wing, and then climbed down a jet engine to the ground.

Jetstar Flight JQ507 arrived at Melbourne Airport from Sydney on August 22. It was parked at a terminal gate when the man left the plane by the right-side exit, officials said.

Opening the exit deployed a slide from the back of the wing to the ground, a Jetstar statement said. But instead of going down the slide, the man walked along the wing and climbed down one of the Airbus A320's two engines.

Passenger Audrey Varghese said passengers screamed as the man started behaving erratically shortly before he opened the door.

She told Melbourne radio 3AW that as soon as the plane had started coming to a stop, the passenger went straight to the emergency exit row, pushing people out of the way, and opened the emergency door.

Another passenger told 9News that the man had been vaping — which is not allowed — during the 90-minute mid-morning flight and had unsuccessfully demanded the air crew provide him with alcohol.

Melbourne Airport said the man was detained by aircrew and ground staff before police arrested him.

"Melbourne Airport is proud of the exceptional response from ground crew, which meant there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff," an airport statement said.

He was assessed by paramedics and taken to a hospital, a police statement said. Police will continue to investigate and charges are likely to be laid at a later date.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。我平时喜欢听歌，有一些中文歌曲我觉得很好听，歌词也很美，想和大家分享一下。今天我们要听的这首歌叫《错位时空》，2021年1月发行后就在网上爆红，到处都可以听到这首歌。希望你喜欢。
《错位时空》
填不满半排观众的电影
直到散场时突然亮起灯
字幕定格在某某出品和发行
我目送 他们行色匆匆
像个自不量力的复读生
完不成金榜题名的使命
命不是猜剪刀石头布的决定
那么任性
我吹过你吹过的晚风
那我们算不算 相拥
可如梦初醒般的两手空空
心也空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
是否看过同样 风景
像扰乱时差留在错位时空
终是空 是空
数不完见证许愿的繁星
没灵验谁来安慰坏心情
十字路口闪烁不停的信号灯
有个人 显然心事重重
三个字 只能说给自己听
仰着头不要让眼泪失控
哪里有可以峰回路转的宿命
我不想听
我吹过你吹过的晚风
那我们算不算 相拥
可如梦初醒般的两手空空
心也空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
是否看过同样 风景
像扰乱时差留在错位时空
终是空 是空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
空气里弥漫着 心痛
可我们 最后 在这错位时空
终成空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
空气里弥漫着 心痛
可我们 最后 在这错位时空
终成空 成空
