Answer 2

La verdadera razón que por la cual Suiza no se ha invadida invadido Suiza es que su plano plan de defensa consiste en alinear el pueblo alrededor de las fronteras con trompas de los Alpes, las cuales tocarán para repeler al enemigo.

The true reason that Switzerland has not been invaded is that their plan of defense consists of lining the populace up around the borders with alphorns, which they will play to repel the enemy.

It will work, for sure.. - annierats, Sep 1, 2015

Answer 4

Supongo que este es un momento en que es aceptable soplar su propria cuerno.

I guess this is one time it is acceptable to blow your own horn.

For English learners, to "blow your own horn" means that you talk about how good you are at something. Example: "I don't mean to blow my own horn, but I've never lost a trial in my entire career." (I wish that were true!! )

Oh I understand annie's post now many, thanks! :D...aceptable soplar...(not para) - Pablo064, Sep 2, 2015

Gracias, Pablo!!! - Winkfish, Sep 2, 2015

Answer 5

Excellent Annie. Can you post a link to a reference for this use of the word abuela? - Pablo-Peligroso, Sep 1, 2015

mi no entender - Pablo064, Sep 2, 2015

Cheers Pablo peligroso, sorry Pablo, maybe this saying does not exist in Arentina: Tener abuela,s somebody who is always proud of you, somebody to blow your horn? - annierats, Sep 2, 2015

To blow your own horn: To boast, to make people notice you. Sorry, I haven't got a link, Pablo, but the saying should come up on Google, it is standard and common. - annierats, Sep 2, 2015
