Language question for Spanish speakers (or drinkers) esp Mexican Spanish

Edited on Fri May-23-08 12:40 PM by Kali

Cute toast: Arribe, Abajo, __ Fuera, __ Dentro

Are those blanks "a", "al", or something else? Pretty sure not Afuera, right? Surprisingly I can't find the toast from the google. I suck at grammar and verb forms.

edit for spelling, typos, and other idiocies.

6. as in drinking

lift glass: arriba (up)
lower glass: abajo (down)
hold glass out in front afuera (or centro) (outside or middle)
say a dentro (inside) and drink

8. yeah, come to think of it I have heard that too

but I was probably drunk and didn't remember, I was jsut listeneing to Andy Hersey's song, Companero Blanco and I realized I wasn't sure how to write that if I ever wanted to. Knew I could get the answer on DU. Strange thought patterns eh?
