Answer 2

Qué es "el gordo". Sé "el gordo" significa "the fat" pero es lo un juego? Cualquier persona es queriendo corregir muy español, hace por favor. Gracias

Sé que...pero ¿es un juego? "it" (lo) isn't used like that in Spanish. (haz, haga or singular, affirmative commands for hacer). - 0074b507, Dec 14, 2010
