<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 64191, member: 33"]I think possibly "acontesio" is misspelled and is supposed to be <i>aconteció</i> -- that is a verb form meaning "it came to pass" according to Google translate. I don't know what the "le" is all about. And the "a" after the word often means "to" but can have other prepositional meanings like <b>at, of, into</b>, or <b>by</b>. Maybe this is also idiomatic and can't be directly translated?</p><p><br /></p><p>I love that all of us with rusty Spanish skills have the opportunity to work on something like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
