El verbo quedarse a llorar.

Question

"Si piensan esos asesinos que con el hecho de haber coincidido uno de nuestros muchachos con el ADN, nosotros vamos a quedarnos a llorar, queremos decirles que se han equivocado, que a partir de hoy, esta jornada de lucha va a llegar hasta encontrar con vida a nuestros 42 compañeros que faltan", dijo de la Cruz.

¡Gracias!

Answer 1

Do a little research. (Following Daniela's advise) Look up the verb quedarse. The word attached nos is the reflexive pronoun with the use of quedar. The preposition a connects quedar to llorar.

The protocol here is to give your own best attempt to determine the meaning, post it here with your question, then the others can help you either by confirming your attempt or explaining it further.

This really isn't set up to have another human being translate for you. Although sometimes a nice person here will do that.

Best success in your study!

Shalom to you to Jubi. This is a reflexive "nos" however from the reflexive expression "quedarse" a llorar. But I'm not going to be "nice" and translate. I'll wait to see what he comes up with. - Daniela2041, Dec 29, 2014

But it is a temptation--it's so easy! - Daniela2041, Dec 29, 2014

I changed my avatar for a while as a wish (and prayer) for the world as we change years. Being nice sometimes goes against being a teacher, n'est-ce pas? - Jubilado, Dec 29, 2014

Thank you jubilado and you also Daniela. Very sound advise you are offering. - ray76, Dec 30, 2014

@Jubilado. I'm always nice, N'est-ce pas? Some of my students don't think so when they look at their grade. - Daniela2041, Dec 30, 2014

Can't I pretty please stick in a teeny weeny answer? - Daniela2041, Dec 30, 2014
