In lesson 1.2 Paralee says something like "tatoka",(It's your turn?) In lesson 1.3 she says something like "infinamente" I would like to know what she is saying & how you spell the Spanish words.

Te toca - Your turn.

Right. I just want to add that toca is 3rd person singular of tocar (to touch)...so the subject would be an understood, nebulous "it."

The sentence is literally saying "it touches you."

It's my turn => Me toca => It touches me

(You native speakers correct me if I'm wrong)

tocar has both meanings: "to touch" and "it is someone turn", it depends on the context. - Mokay, Nov 11, 2009

A few different sources on the net as well as several paper references (i.e. books) set one of the definitions of tocar as "to touch on'. The context suggests it refers to an older style of gaming where a pointer or stone would land on or "touch on" the individual whose turn it is.

Te toca = your turn

That's so wierd. I always thought she was saying "de toca" so I just ignored it as her being silly but "te toca" actually makes more sense.
