"Que buena pinta tiene esto!"

Question

*¡Que buena pinta tiene esto!**** Am I correct in thinking this expression means something along the lines of **How good this is looking? I have managed to find Esto no tiene buena pinta which I think is It's not looking good, and Tiene buena pinta esto for it's looking good. Many thanks

Answer 1

Yes, it's the appearance of something. You can say for example that a meal when produced has una buena pinta. Shown a paella before it's served for example. ¡Que pinta mas buena!

I was once picked up by the cops in Barcelona after a long night playng in a club. My documentation was ok so they let me go. When I told the taxi driver and inevitably asked "Why me?" He said es la pinta tio, followed by something like Igual puedes lucir como Jesucristo, pero tampoco tienes el aspecto de un santo
He was an andaluz, claro

That was back in the day when shoulder-length hair was almost conservative.

Very interesting!! Funny old language this Andaluz - I have just enrolled at Spanish classes and am already being picked up for dropping the s at the end of a word. - caza, Sep 14, 2011

As you're in Malaga you have a right to drop s's - lagartijaverde, Sep 14, 2011
