"Tico mis dientes" or "Siento mis dientes"?
why are words so different. I have a childrens book for feel my teeth in spanish, the book says tico mis dientes and your translation is siento mis dientes????

"tico" means = "critical"
I doubt that is the word you are looking for. Here is a dictionary link that contains the meaning for "tico" as well as "tocar", which means = "to touch" and "sentir", which means= "to feel".
- "tocar" = "to touch, to play(a musical instrument), to knock or tap"
- "sentir" = "to feel, to sense, to have a feeling for, to regret"
If you give it a little research, the difference will soon become clear.
Like Lorenzo9 says it could be a typo and they wanted to say
toco another explanation is that in some countries tico could mean siento, don't know where though
toco?
If you are using the translation engine on this sight...great! It helps you have an idea how to translate common sentences and phrases, however, I have learned that there is absolutely no substitute for a native speaker. Translation engines are faulty by nature as they quite often translate word for word, literally, and do not provide the nuance to the meaning of many sentences. Don't give up using it as a tool, but always double check the information with other sources. In this case, I would consider the children's book a more reliable source to draw from. A great source as well, are the many kind people here at Spanishdict. You'll be glad you asked!
