Propio

When someone sort of passes close...close enough for each of you to decide who goes first, one says "propio" ? What's the deal with that word? I understand how it's used but it doesn't match what is in the dictionary.

Read the thread just below--Mental Glossary. The use of 'propio' is discussed there.

Esperanza gives you a good hint, as usual.

Con permiso, Give me permission [Excuse me], you ask. Propio, comes the answer: It's yours. El permiso, that's it. In other words, go ahead, adelante.

Saludos,

Quevedo

P. S., Esteban... long time no see. Saludos, amigo.

Hello cyriaconnect,

You asked:>>please translate this to me because am a new beginner... 'A verte amigo, el gusto es mio!! Y gracias tambien a todos por la repuesta.

>A verte amigo, el gusto es mio means The pleasure is mine to see you my friend. Esteban said this in response to Sr. Quevedo's Long time no see. >Y gracias también a todos por la respuesta means Also, thanks to all for the responses.

And welcome to the Spanish forum. You can learn a lot here. Please ask questions. No questions, no answers.
