The Spanish art of flirting...

23 March 2012

During today's intercambio, I learned a number of phrases related to flirting... Apparently, in Spanish, there are distinctions made based on the type of flirting and who is doing it.

ligar--used when the person is the recipient of the flirting. Ex. Hemos ligado. People flirted with us.

coquetear--used when the subject is the person flirting. Ex. He coqueteado con él. I flirted with him.

liarse--implies something more than just flirting.

I also learned an adorable phrase for when someone pats himself/herself on the back for a job well done.

No tiene abuela--literally, he/she doesn't have a grandma.
