Quiero ver a mi abuelita que tiene 85 años :) Vamos a tomar café juntos y charlar de cosas viejas. Tal vez cocinaremos también.

Let's write a story!
Write one sentence and one separate word/expression in your comment to write a continuous story together.
Rules:
- your sentence should logically connect to the previous one
- your sentence has to contain the separate word/expression given by the previous commenter.
I'll start with an example:
Commenter -1:
It was a cold autumn morning and Robert didn't feel like going to work at all.
MANGOES
Commenter 0:
He was staring at the endless fog through the window while he pictured himself on a tropical beach eating mangoes.
MINIATURE
So... who will be the first to continue the story? Have fun! :)

Tell me some Spanish words that have different meanings in different Spanish-speaking countries :)
A few years ago I went on a hike with a few Chileans and Venezuelans in Chile. The group started talking about Spanish words that have completely different meanings in the two countries. I vaguely remember one word that means light bulb in one country and something like a pen in the other? I don't remember what the word was but I found it very interesting and I hope you guys can help me out :D
I almost posted this as a question but I realized I'd love to hear about more words like this one!
So could you write
1. words that have different meanings in different Spanish speaking countries or
2. different words that mean to the same thing?
Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to your examples :)

Mi viaje a un lago ayer
Ayer yo fui a un lago en Hungría (que se llama Velencei-tó, o lago de Velence) al suroeste de Budapest con un amigo. Tuvimos que tomar el tren de Győr (en el oeste) a Budapest y cambiar allá a un otro tren. Tomamos nuestras bicicletas porque este lago es famoso de tener una buena pista de bicicletas alrededor. No mucho despues de llegar empezamos nuestro trayecto. Aunque salimos en la madrugada, no tuvimos tiempo para hacer todo! No sabiamos que hay tantas cosas allá: un parque commemorativo militar, un jardín botanico, una reserva natural con muchos pájaros, miradores, playas y restaurantes. Bastante por dos días! Pero tuvimos solamente un día, entonces no entramos en nada. Caminamos en el parte libre del parque commemorativo y usamos nuestras bicicletas para hacer la pista completa. Hicimos más o menos 35 kilometros. Hoy tengo muchos buenos recuerdos - y también dolor en todos mis músculos!

Sobre mí
Hola a todos,
Soy Nikolett (o Niki) de Hungría, y soy profesora de inglés. Me encantan las idiomas - entiendo mucho de español y alemán y tambien estoy aprendiendo chino!
Ahora estoy practicando mi español con Duolingo todos los días, pero nunca escribo nada con mis proprias palabras. Entonces quiero hacerlo aquí para mejorar esta idioma! También tengo que saber más palabras para tener un vocabulario más grande. Yo aprendí español en Latinoamerica, entonces prefiero usar ustedes y no vosotros, y tampoco conozco cuando pronuncir "c" y "z" diferentemente.
No sé que es mi nivel de español. Tal vez A2? Que piensan? Gracias por ayudarme!

Tell me about a word that doesn't have an equivalent in your own language!
They say the languages we speak determine the way we think. Languages reflect the speakers' cultural and historical heritage. Therefore, the more languages we speak, the richer our knowledge is about the world!
Have you ever come across a word in a foreign language that doesn't have an equivalent in your mother tongue? Or have you ever wondered how to say a word in a foreign language just to find out it doesn't have a direct translation? Leave a comment and share it with the others!
For example, I love the English word "ajar". It describes a door/window which is only slightly open and it does not exist in my language (Hungarian).
On the other hand, my favourite Hungarian word is "madárlátta". Literally translating to "has been seen by a bird" (madár = bird, látta = he/she/it has seen), we usually use this adjective to describe food that someone took with her- or himself on a journey but brought it back instead of eating it. Like a sandwich that you take on a day trip and end up taking back home. While this word is rarely used in real life and appears mainly in fairy tales, we all know its meaning and never question its existence 😁
Can you give some examples of other very rare or very specific words? Let's see how many we can collect here :)
