Carite definition

Question

Saben lo que la palabra Carite quiere decir? El dicionario no tenia la definicion y en el web encontre que es el nombre de dun pescado. Puede ser que Carite esta relacionado a la cocoa? The word came from a poem by Luis Pales Matos "rumbo al Carite dulce de don Antero Aponte.

Please do as Mardle suggests down below mate , you have had 5 years to do it i think it is about time that you reciprocated the respect that we show to yo. Thanks mate. - ray76, Sep 4, 2016

I think you're taking this a bit too personal. I answered all the questions I saw at the time I registered. You're accusing me of disrespecting you, but you have no problem trying to shame me in public. I also wonder why you are so concerned about this. - donrono, Sep 6, 2016

I just looked at my profile. You and the person before are being rather presumptuous. Since I did this profile about 5 years ago, there was no question about skill level at the time. I would have to delete my current profile and start a new on in order to - donrono, Sep 6, 2016

place my skill level. I also don't know why you or the person below care so much what my skill level is. - donrono, Sep 6, 2016

Answer 1

Can you add your language level in Spanish and English to your profile? Ironically you have filled in some of your profile with details [eg birthday] that I would not have expected.

I hadnt heard of this poet from Puerto Rico. He sounds interesting, though while he was alive it seems some of his countrymen were not happy that a white/light skin man was getting a reputation for poems relating to the African heritage of some Puertoricans. Carite is the area of Puerto Rico where he was born. There is a forest and now a reservoir. RAE has Cari as a Latin American word for grey and there is a fish called carite but I assume it was given the name because its prominent colour is grey.

I have no specific knowledge.

As I said above, at the time I did my profile they didn't have a section for me to place my skill level but they did ask me for my day of birth. - donrono, Sep 7, 2016

Glad someone more knowledgeable has answered! - Mardle, Sep 3, 2016

Actually, you have given much more information than I did, cheers! - 005faa61, Sep 3, 2016

Those are good answers, but if you look at the poem, Carite is capitalized. I just verified with a friend from Puerto Rico that Carite is the name of a neighborhood in Puerto Rico. - donrono, Sep 7, 2016
