¿Que canciones escuchas cuando andas bien pedo?

Question

What songs do you listen to when you are good and drunk? I'm trying to explain fully, andar to a friend and I keep coming up with examples of it being used in so many ways it may be the most versatile verb aside from llevar. This is a statement not a question, happy thanksgiving Guys.

OK here's a question, how you tell the difference between you walk good and you are good with "¿Andas bien?" you walking good? Your legs OK? You doing OK? You doing well? Gracias.

Answer 1

OK here's a question, how you tell the difference between you walk good and you are good with "¿Andas bien?" you walking good? Your legs OK? You doing OK? You doing well? Gracias.

Generally speaking, you'd just not ask "¿andas bien?" if you mean "are you walking well?"

This expression simply means "are you doing all right?"

To me, "andar" really means something closer to "go", "come", or "move", than "walk", really. It means "walk" only if you place it in an unequivocal context of "moving by foot".

Anda conmigo: "come / walk with me".

Anda en la tienda "he/she is in /by /somewhere around the store"

Anda para allá: "go thataway"

Vamos andando: "let's get moving/going"

Anda por la acera: "walk by the sidewalk"

Andas perdido: "you're all lost"

Answer 2

hehe!

I'd say that more than " you are good and drunk", you are "very drunk"

Happy Thanksgiving!

you are good and drunk means you are very drunk ........ good and...... means very. I'm good and tired, but it's a more regional Texas expression. - jeezzle, Nov 25, 2010

I occasionally hear it over here too Jeezzle - 'he was good 'n' tired when he got home' etc. - galsally, Nov 27, 2010
