In this episode we’re going to talk about one of my favorite idioms which can be used when you agree with someone.

I agree with you.

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.

今天，我们来看看道德经的第一章。Now let's look at the first chapter of Tao Te Ching.
"道，可道，非常道。名，可名，非常名。无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母 。故常无欲，以观其妙；常有欲，以观其徼。此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。玄之又玄，众妙之门。"
The Tao that can be followed is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth.
While naming is the origin of the myriad things.
Therefore, always desireless, you see the mystery
Ever desiring, you see the manifestations.
These two are the same
When they appear they are named differently.
This sameness is the mystery,
Mystery within mystery;
The door to all marvels. 
(Translated by Yi-Ping Ong)
