In this lesson, Marika explains, with examples from Yabla videos, two words that always puzzle learners: mica and manco. The first part is all about mica. Here's what you need to know!

"Manco" is a bit more complicated than "mica" because it's often used with irony. It's also used with the impersonal third person, making it rather tricky to translate. But remembering that it means neanche (not even) can help.

The word pure has several meanings, from "also" to "even," to "although." Marika explains them and gives us some examples in context.
