El ejemplo para la palabra del día tiene una structura que no sé. Puede Ud. explicarme?
- y no le hace nada de caso. and barely pays attention to her.
También:
- De repente Claudia se sintió sumamente egoísta. Suddenly Claudia felt selfish.

I think I agree with you patc. To say "and barely pays attention to her" would be "y casi no le hace nada de caso¨.

sumamente means extremely. "Hacerle caso" is an expression that means "Pay attention to," more or less. I admit that the structure of the first may seem strange, but I promise you it is correct and you'll get used to it with time.

Translation is difficult. Not at all is a more literal translation, though. - BigMike, Feb 25, 2013
