- swsieber 3y agoThis reminds me of when I (a native english speaker), was speaking spanish and said I was glad someone could spend time with their kids. I was later corrected that the verb I used (prestar I think) for "to spend" had the negative connotation of "to waste". Oops. Edit: this was in a religious context as a missionary, which reminds me that "perfect" in scriptures is also misleading to a modern native english speaker. Other, perhaps better words include "whole" and "complete". I wonder if that is a common synonym in other languages.
