There are things in life you can never recover.

Can you name one of them?

I will start: An "occasion"(event), after it is missed.

That's a good one! :) - Brynleigh, Dec 10, 2010
Did you research it, Sakis? I imagined it would be 'la juventud', or 'los años jóvenes' but I never asked anyone about it. - galsally, Dec 10, 2010
No Sally it was an impulse.. I'll do it now.. :) - sv2qp, Dec 10, 2010
It should be either "la juventud" or "los años jóvenes". Both are correct. "Los jóvenes" means the young people. - 00e657d4, Dec 10, 2010

La confianza

Trust

This doesn't ring true for everyone. However, when it comes to myself, when it's gone, it's gone for good!

Also,

El tiempo

Time

I will never get the 2 hours of my life back that I wasted on that "Predators" movie! Nor will I be able to recover the $10 I paid for it, because I sat through more than half of the movie. Boooo... mad angry
