When offered food that she didn't like, I taught my young niece to politely say, "no thank you; that doesn't appeal to me," instead of loudly declaring, "That's disgusting!

Cuando se le ofreció alimento que no quiso, le enseñé a mi joven sobrina decir cortésmente: "no, gracias, que no me gusta, apetece," en lugar de declarar en voz alta, "Eso es repugnante."

Isn't that weird that bull fight is 'corrida' meaning from the verb to run but the running of the bulls is 'encierro' from I presume encerrar - to contain or shut up which is what is done to the bull in the ring?? - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 30, 2010
