Viernes de antro

Today's Friday to go clubbing. 


So that's why today It's time we play something of Rihanna which plays really good songs to throw a party. 
antro
Antro in Spanish means "night club", it's usually a bar where there is no dancing floor. 


50 years ago it was a third class bar, the worst place where people used to go to have a drink. 


Some good synonyms are: Bar, Pub, Discoteca. 


Así que: ¿qué vas a hacer esta noche?, ¿Vas a ir al antro? - So, What are you going to do tonight? , Are you going to the night club?. 


More informal sentences: 


¿Vamos a chupar? - Are we going to drink? 

¿Vamos a antrear? - Are we going clubbing? 


¿Vamos a echar trago? - Are we going to booze


Next time you go out with your friends tell them these sentences. Remember have fun and don't drunk drive.


Here you are the video of Rihanna Where have you been? - ¿En dónde has estado?


Enjoy it - Disfrútala!

Do you know how to say Start Up in Spanish?

Arrancar

Start up



Start up - to begin running Encender (un motor)


Example:
