Meaning of al pie de letra by Felipe Lorenzo del Río





Felipe Lorenzo del Río

al pie de letra
  24

Adverbial phrase, literally translated from the Latin ad pedem litterae, because the first translations of the latin Spanish word-to-Word, were made by placing the castellana under ( walk ) the Latin, which means literally, without interpretations that make reference to the meaning of the expression. For example, the Romans used to say in their everyday conversations: " ab ovo usque ad mala " with what they wanted to say from beginning to end; However the expression to the letter means from egg ( 41 hors d'oeuvres; up to 40 apples; dessert ).
