B B C Mundo podcast is changing from daily to weekly. I am very disappointed. I listen to them every day during my commute to work.

Well, not any more :-p - afowen, Mar 3, 2011

I suppose I could listen to the same one 5 times :-) - KevinB, Mar 3, 2011

Answer 1

Temia eso, lo vi venir.

I was afraid of that. I could see it coming.

Answer 2

Hey Kevin, sorry about the cut-back in service there! My question is more about a word you used in your comment, namely decepcionado... well, since I'm hardwired to spot English in most everything (I know, it's a drag at times!) I got to thinking if our word "deception" is connected in some way... we know that the common Spanish word for deception is engaño, so that led me to try the RAE and I got nothing! (see RAE) Anyway, is that a normal thing, not to find certain words in the RAE whereas the same word is clearly listed elsewhere?

Didn't mean to digress and lessen the "loss" you're experiencing... just get off on these tangents and my curiosity proves lethal to the proverbial feline!

Decepcionado is very commonly used to mean disappointed or disillusioned. It's the past participle of decepcionar used as an adjective. R A E doesn't list participles, diminutives, etc. - KevinB, Mar 3, 2011

Got it! I would think the creators/authors of the RAE would insert an app/program (?) to make suggestions of other words close to your search word... - cristalino, Mar 3, 2011
