This time we’re going to pay attention to fixed phrases that are based on repetition. These are not RPS heritage only, but can be heard all across Spanish speaking countries.
Here they are:
- Más y más
- Poco a poco
- Día a día
- Ojo por ojo
- Cara a cara
- Mano a mano
- Rey de reyes
- Boca a boca
- De lado a lado
- Paso a paso
- Codo a codo
- Sea lo que sea
- Tiempo al tiempo
- Sonreír de oreja a oreja
Good luck with using them,
