Comeo celebrar Cinco de Mayo?

You're right, of course, Infra. I do get word order mixed up from time to time and end up placing the adjective in front of the noun as you would in English. So I end up wishing someone a feliz nuevo ano when I know damn well it's ano nuevo. BTW, why is it Nuevo Mexico, not Mexico Nuevo?And, foofie, yes I know about the upside-down q. marks in front of interrogatory sentences, along with upside down exclamation marks in front of exclamatory ones. I just don't have that stuff on my keyboard. No tildes either. I know that, technically, I didn't spell ano correctly above.

And I don't understand why I can't get rid of the italics in the part addressed to Foofie in the post above.

Highlight it and hit the italics button.

Too late now. Once you've posted, I can't edit. But I did what you're aing; didn't work.

You're right about adjective placement in Spanish, but like with everything else in language there are exeptions to the general rules, and with adjectives it depends on what one is trying to stress.

For example, mi viejo amigo means my old friend.

Mi amigo viejo, however, means my friend that is old.

I think that Mexico Nuevo would have a meaning something along the lines of, "a renovated Mexico."

That's interesting about how adjective placement changes the meaning of the two words, Infra. Thank you.

I've not noticed that to be true - I've observed it to be more a matter of minutes passed, as I've edited after others have posted many (well, at least several) times.

forget the NYT, I love the Smithsonian

We will be celebrating. And this year it falls on a Tuesday so we will make it a taco Tuesday and have all Mexican food for dinner. Oh yeah and of course margarita’s for the two adults!

You could make virgin piña coladas for the kids. Isn't that drink Puerto Rican?

It is Puerto Rican. I only knew that because I looked it up online. We better not though, it’s been a challenge just getting them use to living in a house with a Puerto Rican lol.

I've never taken cinco de mayo seriously, being from LA.

On the other hand, I get it happens.

Try to walk with care.

Ge'ez your a nut Morgan
