how do you use tropezar?
I use it to mean "fall out" (or an argument) or to mean stumble (like to trip).
use it in a sentence!
thanks!

What's the difference between "stumbled upon" and "ran into"? Thanks :) - Benz, Feb 28, 2010
They're pretty similar, and I've just had to think about this for about five minutes to differentiate!! I think that 'stumbled upon' conveys a discovery you weren't looking for as well as the encounter (e.g. the answer to a question/some form of treasure) - torrontes75, Feb 28, 2010
Is that the same in Spanish? I used the little pigs example as that is where I first saw the word...! - torrontes75, Feb 28, 2010
