Continúa con la fase 3 de cualquier idioma:
Aprender la parte más complicada.
>Metáforas
>Refranes y dichos
>Frases en sentido figurado
>Regionalismos y lunfardo
>Leer y comprender material sobre un tema técnico

For example:
The nigger pot calling the kettle black -> Se asusta el muerto del degollado

Of course, tenses won't match fairly often, and some meanings are completely unintuitive, which significantly adds to the difficulty.

Buena idea. Soy bastante ignorante de las metáforas comunes. Es difícil adivinar cuáles son exactos, y cuáles son obsoletos.

>>103
I think you meant
>Buena idea. No conozco muchas metáforas de uso cómun.
which translates to:
>Good idea. I don't know many metaphors in common use.

I struggled with the second part of your post tho.

>>104
I wanted to say, "It's hard to guess which ones are accurate and which ones are outdated"

>>106
"Es difícil saber cuáles son acertadas(?) y cuáles están obsoletas".

I don't get what you meant by accurate. Accurate means correct/certain.
Do you mean accurate with regards to knowing which metaphors are correct or suitable in a given context? Or does it have to do with discerning an actual metaphor from a bogus one?

Obsoleto strikes me as odd in that context (in Spanish), given that it tends to be associated with technology/the way of doing something.
I'd use "cuáles cayeron en desuso" (which ones have fallen into disuse) instead, which lends itself better to this context.

Furthermore, the rule of thumb goes that the verb ser refers to the nature of something; its inherent qualities, and estar refers to the state something is in.
Fulana está fea -> Fulana is ugly (you don't like something about Fulana's current look)
Fulana camisa es fea -> Fulana is ugly (Being ugly is a trait of hers)

>>107
>Fulana camisa es fea
Qué?

>>107
Yeah I mean "real" metaphors/phrases, because sometimes it seems like the book is telling you bullshit that nobody really says, or only old people say

>>107
>>115
I meant "Fulana es fea".
Should have double-checked…
