The Comments |
Cheyette, if you were truly fluent in Spanish you would know that although migas are, indeed, bread crumbs, the saying "hacer buenas migas con alguien" in Jazil's post is a very common phrase in Spanish meaning "having a good relationship with someone". So please either stop lying or stop considering yourself fluent in Spanish.
Just the fact you consider Google translations correct would have been enough to give you away, but your post has clinched it.
To me you are clearly a troll who posts only to provoke reactions so from here on I am just going to ignore you and your comments.

Cheffette you said "jazil as migas are bread crumbs i fail to understand why you would make bread crumbs with anyone"
suggest you write to J.M. Cassagne (Spanish National who published the book of Spanish Idioms if you don't understand it....luckily I do)
And Lobin and Flybynight you are right thanks
It seems clear that Cheffette is just a numpty trying to incite argument.

Hi Stowaway
Welcome to EOS. Hopefully you will find this a very friendly forum! I assume that you looked up the expression if you had never heard of it before. It may be a regional thing, as my friend Juana María (who has had a very good education) told us it is an everyday saying.

Sue,
Methinks thou art a tad naive. stowaway is chefette under an alias. Common troll trick. Gets to the stage where they talk to each other because everyone else ignores them.

I would hazzard a very good guess that Stowaway IS Chefette as I believe EOS will have deleted his membership due to incitement. What a thoroughly odd person this member is.

Mike,
The difference between us is that I attack some of your arguments as invalid where you claim as undisputed facts what are, in reality, your unsubstantiated prejudgements. Having no other defence, you are left resorting to personal abuse. So which one would you say is more troll-like?
Your insistence on attacking me personally blinds you to the fact that my request for sources and evidence is not because I get some sort of thrill out of baiting you - you vastly overestimate your importance if you think that - but because I am genuinely interested in researching the topic. Patricia's source on this thread was interesting - albeit slightly irrelevant to your point as it refererred to first language rather than understood language. For all we know, your "undisputed facts" could have been gleaned from the Daily Mail.

Hacer buenas migas: Fomentar la amistad y el buen trato entre dos o más personas

Hacer buenas migas = to get on well with...
(Gran Diccionario Larousse)
(and then there is "hacer malas migas")

I once ordered migas Extremenos as a "starter" at a restaurant in Jarandilla. A large plate piled high with golden breadcrumbs, mixed with pancetta, chorizo, pimenton & garlic...all fried up in olive oil & topped with a runny fried egg....it's just a different take on bacon & eggs with fried bread. Very tasty, but a little filling for a starter.

Campana is absolutely correct when migas is used in this form.
hacer buenas migas= to get on well with someone.
