Why are you asking that, Casper? In Spanish, in this case when referred to foreign languages, we say that someone who doesn't know how to express something, "invents" (makes up) alternate words in order to fill that gap.
Ha!
This is true. It happens in all languages. But sometimes it's just a misunderstanding of an expression, not a simple 'guess' of what matches there.
Well, the question about this 'invention' thing is because of this (I don't know why, but she's relly upset, huh), where she said "inventandose",
aaaand something you said to me in my last translation into spanish!
