peer agreement (net): +3Four things OR a few things Explanation: In colloquial Spanish in Spain, "cuatro cosas" often means just a handful of things, like, "cuando me fui de viaje me llevé cuatro cosas". It doesn't necessarily mean exactly four things, but in the right context it can. For example, if your context says something like, "A María le damos dos cosas y a Nacho le damos cuatro cosas", it is definitely using it as a finite number. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 minutos (2024-01-02 09:24:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It can also be used as part of the idiom "decir cuatro cosas a alguien": https://tureng.com/es/espanol-ingles/decir cuatro cosas a al... We'd really need the context, the sentence where you found it, to be able to tell you the exact definition. |
