María Eugenia Wachtendorff Chile En Chile es igual que en Venezuela. "Como la gente" es lo contrario de "Como las bestias" o "a la brutanteque". 14:12 Jun 23, 2005  Manuel Cedeño Berrueta Por estos lares, hacer algo �como la gente� significa poner el debido cuidado en su ejecuci�n a fin de obtener un resultado apropiado. Lo contrario es hacer algo �a las patadas�. Saludos. 13:33 Jun 23, 2005  Ernesto de Lara In mx. we say: "como la gente manda". This means that goods or services should be delivered covering the people expectations. It is used as a complaint. 12:53 Jun 23, 2005  Automatic update in 00:

4 mins   confidence:

como la gente (aquí) like you Explanation: This would be based on Brazilian Portuguese influence. This is simply a suggestion since this is in Argentina, and perhaps the listerner is Brazilian, or maybe even the speaker. In Brazilian Portuguese, quite often "a gente" is used to refer to the other person, that is "you" be "you" singular or plural. Just a possibility. If appropriate in this case, it would in essence mean, "... make me some educational software like you did [in your particular circumstance].
