\"\"<\/a>Guys, have you ever gone shopping with your girlfriends, wives or any female for that matter? How was the experience? Ah, I’m just teasing you to present a little dialogue where a guy has been shopping all day with his girlfriend and then he says he’s exhausted. Take a look!<\/p>\n

A: Estoy exhausto. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no vamos ya a casa?<\/em>
\n B: Todav\u00eda preciso comprar una cosita m\u00e1s.<\/em>
\n A: \u00bfQu\u00e9 es?<\/em>
\n B: Los zapatos, \u00bfte has olvidado? Quiero echarle un vistazo a la nueva zapater\u00eda.<\/em>
\n A: Yo prefiero esperarte en el caf\u00e9 mientras haces eso.<\/em>
\n B: Dale, querido. Sabes que necesito tu opini\u00f3n. Me siento tan bien cuando me dices que algo me queda bien.<\/em>
\n A: Est\u00e1 bien. Tu ganas. Pero hag\u00e1moslo r\u00e1pido.<\/em>
\n B: No te preocupes.<\/em><\/p>\n

So he says he’s exhausto<\/strong>, well, of course he’s exhausted and he suggests going home using the phrase \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no…?<\/strong>, which is like its English counterpart, “Why don’t we…?” He adds a little urgence to his sentence using the adverb ya<\/strong> (already).<\/p>\n

She says she todav\u00eda<\/strong> (still) needs to buy una cosita m\u00e1s<\/strong> (something else) and he ask what is it, \u00bfQu\u00e9 es?<\/strong>. She’s forgotten to buy los<\/strong> zapatos<\/strong> (shoes). She wants to echarle un vistazo<\/strong> (take a look at) la nueva zapater\u00eda<\/strong> (the new shoe store).<\/p>\n

He tries to wiggle out of it by saying he prefiere esperarla<\/strong> (would rather wait for her) at the caf\u00e9 mientras<\/strong> (while) she does that. She agrees by saying Dale, querido<\/strong> (OK, darling), but she says that she necesita su opini\u00f3n<\/strong> (needs his opinion) and she se siente bien<\/strong> (feels well) when he tells her that something le queda bien<\/strong> (looks good on her).<\/p>\n

OK, she won, ella gana<\/strong>, he goes, but tells her to do that fast: hag\u00e1moslo<\/strong> (hagamos = let’s do it + lo = that) and she tells him not to worry, no te preocupes.<\/p>\n
