Project 1000 - Spanish Words - #11 [ENG]
As I already was writing last week, at the moment my motivation towards this project and Steemit in general went a bit down. I am dissapointed of the Roadmap 2017 that just was published.
I hope this is only temporary, and Steemit continous to be an awesome place.

el rastro → the trail
la caja de cambios → the Gear Box/Transmission
el azogue → Mercury, Hg (archaic Spanish)
recriminación → recrimination
titubear → to hesitate (stutter is "tartamudear")
Thanks for your feedback.
I checked again some translations http://dict.leo.org/ and it shows me, el azogue can be quicksilver or mercury, I assume mercury fits better ?
I changed recriminación from accusation to recrimination,as it is probably more accurate, same goes for titubear, but in my opinion el rastro can be both flea market or trail, e.g. I remember the famous "rastro" in Madrid.
I also left translation for la caja de cambios according to this translation http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/gangschaltung
Where are you from ? Gracias !
Of course that "el rastro" can be a flea market. Just as "the dog" can be a grocery store!
Gear shift is a literal translation of individual words, the conjunction of both define the part of the car. NEVER translate literally, that is what google translate does (thus the awful quality of the output).
PS: I'm native bilingual English-Spanish
But of course, you can always use a dictionary that never had to speak instead of trusting natives.
No need of being cynically...
