I was confused by Nathasa first answer. She wrote poco a poco

Gus said:

Yes indeed poco a poco is used often in Guatémala ans La republica del Salvador. I am not sure about Mexico but it (the frase poco a poco ) might be use there.

Gus, please note that we weren't talking about poco a poco (a standard phrase everywhere in the Spanish-speaking world, as far as I know), but poco poco. Natasha suggested that this might be an error for poco a poco in the very first post, but my subsequent comments were about La Cosa's translation of poco poco.

Yo no entendí qué es la pregunta aquí . . .

Answer 14

We are going to be friends! I translated it by using the translator on this website.

I've heard it somewhere....maybe it's central america spanish..... Maybe the only phrase I remember from Panama. Not sure....I will ask around. Don't mean to provide false information.

Do you feel better.....poco poco (Little bit)

La Cosa, where did you get that? Remember that un poco means "a little bit," but poco by itself means "not much." So if someone answered poco poco, I would think it meant "not much, not much."Me siento un poco mejor = I feel a little betterMe siento poco mejor (sounds odd) = I feel little better (that is, not much better)Incidentally, one of my favorite songs is La Bamba, and I was crushed to learn years back that its lyrics mock the way gringos speak Spanish. There is a line that says "Para bailar la bamba, se necesicita una poca de gracia." Foreigners probably try to make all the nouns agree in gender, matching poca to gracia, but "un poco" is invariable.

Answer 15

Aside: there's a bar / restaurant here in Jefferson City called "La Bamba." My husband asked me about the name, but I didn't know where it came from . . .

Viene de Veracruz, México, donde nació La Bamba. Los cantantes en restaurantes veracruzanos, por ejemplo, cambian las letras de la canción en el acto, a fin de que las letras se refieran a los clientes. Muy gracioso, a veces.
