to say bad things about someone when they are not present
hablar mal de alguien cuando no está presente (ablar mal de algien kuando no esta presente)
"I don’t like people who talk behind my back."
"No me gusta la gente que habla a mis espaldas." (no me gusta la hente ke abla a mis espaldas)
the best of a group; the finest selection
to be in charge while someone is away
to clarify the truth after a misunderstanding
a secret enemy
money earned with little effort
to make progress or advance
