Answer 1

Hi zhmelissa,

Have you tried to solve this answer by yourself? This question, as well as your previous question: [carne a la vasca/plancha] seem to be exercises of your homework.

Please, be aware that we are not here to do your homework or your research. Besides, you have other tools available than post a question. You can use the SD dictionary/translator, the omnipotent Google and I strongly recommend you to use the site WordReference.

Please try to do it by yourself first and if you cannot resolve your doubt, then we will help you with pleasure.

PS: You can find the meaning of a las tantas by clicking on the WordReference link above.

[Feel free to correct my English. Thank you]

Thanks for the "a las tantas" reference link. - gringojrf, Aug 29, 2013

SergiBono, please be aware that Zhmelisa has used SD for a number of months. I have reminded her to present her questions in a non-homework manner. - bandit51jd, Aug 29, 2013

Answer 2

largo plazo means long term. I have heard plazo used to describe loan repayment plans or other periods of time.

A las tantas I don't know and have never heard.

Answer 3

Thanks atxeko, I did a lot of search before I post my question here on SD, i didn't mean to bother a lot of people here by asking a question. As I know SD is a website to ask spanish quesions and a lot of nice and kind people are here to help. It's because I couldn't solve my problem by myself and after trying several ways and still couldn't get the answer, that's why I am here to ask. I am sorry if my question bothered you , you don't have to answer my questions,thanks. I am sure someone else would help me, thanks.

You did not bother me. And it wasn't my intention to offend you either. I know that I do not have to answer. As I said before, I do it with pleasure. - 003492fc, Aug 29, 2013

Just remember to show your attempt. In this case choose the best one and then others can correct you without the concern for homework being done. Again, I personally know that you study hard! Keep up your great learning! - bandit51jd, Aug 29, 2013
