Meaning of literalmente hablando by Felipe Lorenzo del Río





Felipe Lorenzo del Río

literalmente hablando
  20

Verbal phrase which means giving to the words used the proper sense and not the figurative as it might seem for the expression that is used, as when he says: stuck a chestnut with the door that literally broke the teeth. Literally means we mean that the teeth break was real. Some translations cannot be literally because they defeat the true sense, as in this English saying: a new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners: new broom sweeps well, but the old known everywhere.
