cuatromesino

Question

Can someone tell me what "cuatromesino" means? It was in "Velvet" (the best show, Spanish or English, I've ever seen!) this week. I looked it up here and on diccionarios.com, but no result. Thanks.

Answer 1

Sietemesino refers to "born at seventh month of gestation" (premature)

If it is of any help to you.

gracias, chileno. I should have gone with my first guess, which was "born very premature." That's what I got from the situation and what the characters had said previously. - rvf35, Sep 27, 2015

So is it fourth month of pregnancy or 'born' at 4 months in which case we say miscarriage. - Mardle, Sep 27, 2015

Exactly Mardle, or "stillborn", right? - chileno, Sep 28, 2015

Strictly before 20 weeks it is referred to as miscarriage, later stillbirth. - Mardle, Sep 28, 2015

Ah, OK. Thank you Mardle. - chileno, Sep 28, 2015

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum. Can you add your level of English and Spanish? The series is based in Spain. I don't know the meaning of the word. The series has English subtitlesb- did that give you a clue? Did you see the word written down? What was the context?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm a native English speaker. I used to have an advanced level of Spanish (lived in Spain for a year), but that was 25 years ago. But since I discovered Spanish television via the Internet, my Spanish has come back nicely. - rvf35, Sep 27, 2015

Rtve now adds subtitles and transcript to many of their series. I find sub's in Spanish helpful - Mardle, Sep 27, 2015

I suggest you add on your profile fluent for English intermediate or advanced Spanish. If you put it on the profile then if you ask or answer another question it is there. - Mardle, Sep 27, 2015

Mardle, like I always say "If I want to read, I go to the library and not to the movie theater" ;) - chileno, Sep 28, 2015

Well I like checking subtitles or a transcript. the transcript on rtve is great as if you don't understand a piece you can glance at the transcript or look at it later. - Mardle, Sep 28, 2015

However I don't like subtitles in English as I don't listen to the Spanish.If it is something I can or want to listen to twice I would watch first without subtitles and just enjoy. - Mardle, Sep 28, 2015
