Answer 1

Hello Dyanich,

Welcome to the Spanish Dict forum

Jimmy is correct, in Spanish the construction acabar de = / means to have just done something

Acabaste = You finished (simple past)

but Acabaste de decirlo = You have just said it

The word said in this sentence (context) is translated by the preterite form of acabar; acabaste (you said, familiar form)

Please also be aware that when the verb acabar is not followed by the preposition de its meaning changes to: to complete/to finish!

You said in your request,

Quiero saber que este frase significa! I want to know how to say this phrase in English.

You should say: Quiero saber qué signfica esta frase = I want to know what this sentence means or better still, Quiero saber ¿qué significa esta frase? Acabaste de decirlo

I hope this helps

acabar can actually be used with many prepositions meaning different things .. for example .. acabar con, acabar por etc .. can also be used without a preposition as a verb transitive .. example . - 00b055e0, Jun 12, 2014

Answer 4

Preliminaries: Obtaining an Image URL

To add a picture, you mustl first know the picture's web address/URL (the web address will usually start with the letters "http://www."). A simple way to find the web address for your desired picture is by right clicking on the picture and then clicking on the option that reads, "Copy Image Location." This will automatically copy the URL to your virtual clipboard. Once the URL has been copied to your virtual clipboard, you can later paste the URL into the appropriate position within the Markdown code by holding down "Ctrl + P."
