\u00a1Hola!<\/em><\/p>\n

The adjective dichoso <\/em>comes from the noun dicha <\/em>(happiness, luck), so dichoso<\/em> literally means lucky, fortunate. But in informal Spanish it is also used to express the opposite. Check out this little dialog and the translation below.<\/p>\n

– Hola, Carmen. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s pas\u00e1ndote las vacaciones?
\n– Fatal.
\n– Pero, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 fatal?
\n– Es que tengo una dichosa<\/strong> gripe ya hace m\u00e1s de tres semanas. Es una gripe muy mala. Tengo dolor de cabeza, tos, fiebre y mucho cansancio. No tengo ganas de hacer nada.
\n– \u00a1Qu\u00e9 l\u00e1stima! Pero de todas formas deber\u00edas ir al m\u00e9dico.
\n– Si, claro, ya fui al m\u00e9dico. Seg\u00fan \u00e9l, es una gripe muy fuerte, que ataca las v\u00edas respiratorias y puede durar m\u00e1s de un mes. As\u00ed que no estoy disfrutando de nada, me quedo en el hotel encerrada d\u00eda y noche.
\n– \u00a1Dichosas <\/strong>vacaciones!<\/em><\/p>\n

– Hi, Carmen. How are you spending your vacation?
\n– Terribly.
\n– But, why?
\n– It turns out I’ve had the damned flu for more than three weeks. It’s a very bad flu. I have headaches, cough, fever and I feel very tired. I don’t feel like doing anything.
\n– What a shame! But anyway, you should see a doctor.
\n– Yes, of course, I went to the doctor. According to him, it’s a very strong flu, that attacks the airways and it can last more than a month. So I’m not enjoying anything, I stay in the hotel day and night.
\n– What a terrible vacation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
