• Sonrisa, I think she did a perfect post by placing the idiomatic expressions in quotes. At times we do need to use some slang to discuss things which cannot be clarified otherwise. The best way to do that is to place the slang in quotes. - territurtle Jun 24, 2011

Answer 1

There is no más and nomás.

No más is "no more" or "nothing more".

Nomás is "just".

Estoy nomás empezando = I'm just beginning.

No más. Estoy comiendo. = No more, or nothing more, or (maybe) not now - I'm eating.
