peer agreement (net): +1explanation below Explanation: well, I can tell you what do they exactly mean in Spanish, and then you can try to figure out how to translate them. I remember from when I was getting my driving license that, if you take a road (say, from Barcelona to Madrid) that road has one "dirección", but two "sentidos" as people can travel from Bcn to Madrid or the opposite. In english i would probably still use "direction" and 'senses", although i'm not sure. |
