A Few Curiosities of Spanish

<p>This is a fun word. It isn&rsquo;t one of those &ldquo;English doesn&rsquo;t have it,&rdquo; things. It&rsquo;s just a bit unique and clever.</p> <p>In English, &ldquo;<strong>unos/unas</strong>&rdquo; translates to something like &ldquo;<strong>some</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>a couple</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>a few</strong>,&rdquo; or &ldquo;<strong>around</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>about</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>or so</strong>.&rdquo; For example, you might say, &ldquo;See you in&nbsp;<strong>a few</strong>&nbsp;weeks,&rdquo; or, &ldquo;I need&nbsp;<strong>a couple</strong>&nbsp;apples,&rdquo; or &ldquo;I live&nbsp;<strong>about&nbsp;</strong>five miles from work.&rdquo;</p> <ul> <li>&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s meet up in&nbsp;<strong>a few</strong>&nbsp;weeks.&rdquo;<br /> <em>&ldquo;Nos vemos en&nbsp;</em><strong><em>unas&nbsp;</em></strong><em>semanas&rdquo;</em></li> <li>&ldquo;You need&nbsp;<strong>a couple</strong>&nbsp;papers.&rdquo;<br /> <em>&ldquo;Hace falta&nbsp;</em><strong><em>unos</em></strong><em>&nbsp;documentos.&rdquo;</em></li> </ul> <p>Great, so what&rsquo;s so interesting?
