peer agreement (net): +1| me pay... communication Explanation: I'm sorry to use English, but sometimes I can't encode some questions, which is strange...but as far as your question is concerned: this sentence is a mixture of 3 languages, the character wants to communicate with someone who does not speak his/her language. that's why he/she uses very simple words in different languages, so to be understood. "banco" refers here to "money" and the character who says these words doesn't have to know the true meaning of the word "banco", he/she just used the word that might be understandable to the man, who collects the money. Ususally, when someone doesn't speak any foreign language and wants to communicate, he/she uses the words that are easy to understand. :-) I hope it will help you. |
