| English Transcription: Hi! I’m Antonio, a teacher with Real Spanish. Do you know the expression «salir de rositas»? It means someone has done something to earn a punishment or a scolding, such as a child’s prank, but doesn’t receive blame or punishment. Another expression with «salir» is «salirse con la suya». For example, listen to this conversation between Antonio and Celia, leaving a restaurant. Antonio: I don’t want to go out for dinner with that couple ever again. She’s a real pain, always wants to argue about something. Celia: Well, you’re right, tonight she just wouldn’t stop complaining. Antonio: First she doesn’t eat pizza because she doesn’t eat bread, next she doesn’t like Mexican food, then the bar on the corner is really tacky… Celia: The rest of us wanted to go to Pedro’s bar but in the end she got her own way, as usual. «Salir» has many other uses.
