peer agreement (net): +2see explantion Explanation: Hi Laura In Mexico "de plano" is very common and it has many meanings: Ya "de plano" compre el reloj mas caro. here it means something like I "just went out" and bought the most expensive watch. So it would be something like I "just went for it". Another example: Speaker 1: me compre el reloj más caro Speaker 2: ¿de plano? Here it shows astonishment, the equivalent in english would be "really?" Hope this helps. |
