huh?? hecha, feminine of hecho - 00494d19, Jan 28, 2010

La voz más fuerte en mi órgano tubular es la tuba profunda.

The loudest voice on my pipe organ is the tuba profunda.

Culture note: even on pipe organ consoles with English labels, this voice is labeled as "tuba profunda," not "loud tuba."

Hay que manejar con cuidado durante los ratos lluviosos. En la carretera se ven unos regueros que no parezcan profundos, pero sí que puedan arrastrarte el coche.

You have to be careful driving during rainy periods. At times you can see water in the street that doesn´t appear to be deep, but can still drag your car away.
