"bien enseñado & mal enseñado"

Question

Hi friends,

I have learned these two new expressions today ..

Bien enseñado : Well bred. Mal enseñado : ill-bred..

There are no examples provided in the book where I learned them but it seems that it must be used in context of domesticated animals as I ran a search on SD and the dictionary section here says that "bien enseñado means : house trained) .. So it seems that we use it in the context of Dogs and other pets ...

Can these expressions also be used in the context of humans and children (like we use bien educado or mal educado).. ??

Thanks in advance..

Thanks for suggesting the correction Falda Regards Joydeep (Jimmy)

Should that be 'bred'... ? ;-) - Faldaesque, Mar 19, 2015

Answer 1

Yes, you can use it in the context of humans. you can say for example:

Mi hermano siempre hace su cama por las mañanas, está muy bien enseñado.
