Como no habla cenicero

Question

I saw a translation of this as "as there was no ashtray around"

Again as I like to ask to questions, I was looking into the word preciosa for pretty. I found it means donation according to spanishdict. Is it both or what?

Answer 1

I'm sorry. I don't get it either.

Answer 2

I think the sentence in your title is supposed to read "Como no había cenicero." This does indeed mean "As there was no ashtray around." I just looked up the word "preciosa" on SpanishDict, and there was nothing in any of the definitions about "donation," anywhere. It means either valuable/precious or cute/pretty. Hope this helps.

you might be right I was trying to see if it was habia and looked closely at it it appeared to not be. As far as the other like i said it was the offline spanishdict I looked it up in. The online one has the right definition - spindle32, Jun 3, 2012
