Hola, Viejeros. Today, Anna and I are doing La Compa Grande. The big shop. Our new apartment is completely, a bit worryingly, empty.

So we've come to Mercado Have you heard of Mercadona? It's one of Spain's most popular supermarkets. And the objective today is to stock up on everything from cleaning supplies to food. I know. It might not sound too romantic. But when we're together, even buying milk is fun. Vale.

Lista? Contigo, always. Foy. I'm a lot. lucky man. Let's start with some useful supermarket Spanish. The shopping cart, right now empty, is El Carrito de la Compa. El Carrito de la. This is literally the little cart of the shopping. the cart the compra

the shopping therefore the shopping list would be the list can you guess it la Combra that's it the list of the Compa the list of the shopping

next we have the checkout La Caja La Caja And finally we have the supermarket, which you might know if you've listened to previous episodes. That is el supermercado. So, and here's a bonus question. If the supermarket is el supermarket, what is the market?

A market that's not so super. It is el mercado. We just get rid of the super. Anyway, we'll start with the basic. Let's start with the basics. We'll start with the basic. Detergent,

fregona, scoba. And no forget the sponges. Necessitamous limpier well, our nidito of love. Ah, nidito de amor. She calls it all.

little love nest. I still can't believe she's really here. By the way, this isn't just for me or Anna. If you find yourself moving abroad, whether short term or longer, it's those seemingly insignificant everyday words that will catch you completely off guard. So with that being said, the detergent is el detergente. El. Detergente. Think about how detergent without it you deter people. So you need detergente not to detergente. Next we have the mop which is la fregona.

La fregona. And next is the broom. La Escoba. La Escoba. Think about how it kind of sounds like Escobar. And that's somebody I'd like to hit with a broom. And then, as Anna rightfully pointed out, we have the sponge, which is la esponja.

La esponja. Oh, and something else will need is an all-purpose cleaner. El Limpiador multi-usos. So, Lipiator Multi-usos So, moving on to the bathroom section we have

Papel hygienico Jabon Tuayas and Anna You want a alfumria suave for the

baio? Yes, like those of hotels Only that this hotel is for two So to recap on what we just said we started with

Papel Ingenico toilet paper El Papel hygienico Then I said Jabon Can you think about what that might be

Any guesses? El habon is the soap Next I said Twayas Twayas las tuayas which are

the taos twaya tau I then asked Anna if she wants an alfumria de banio a bath mat alfumria

de baño and finally I think we would need el champu what does el champu Sound like.

Shampoo, of course. Well, we need to the basic for cooking. Aceite of oliva, extra virgin, pan, eggs,

coffee. And a sartem. I want to prepare to arpeas a manna. Yeah, I knew that muddarm me

with you was the best decision of my life. Oh yeah. If you didn't know, arrapas are basically, how would I describe the manner? They're the Colombian equivalent of sandwich bread, I would say.

Yeah, you can take the girl out of Colombia, but never Colombia out of the girl. So, I said we're going to need the basics in order to cook. Necessitamos lo basic to cocinar. And then I said Aseite de oliva And that is of course olive oil El

Aceite de olive or as they say here in Madrid El Aceite de olive And of course El pan
