My Username

[edit]

Matatigre is a Spanish word that means "tiger killer" when translated literally. However, the term is used - in Venezuela, at least - to refer to a man who takes on a variety of odd jobs in order to make a living; that is to say, that this man would even kill tigers if he had to in exchange for a little something to live off of. At least that is my understanding of what this word means (you Venezuelans may feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken).

Anyway, I took a liking to the term several years ago and have used it ever since as a username for various programs; 36, for reasons that I can't explain, is my favorite number. Hence my username is Matatigre36.

(Me he preguntado por qué se dice "matatigre" y no se dice "matador de tigres," pero así sea. Al mismo tiempo también reconozco que no estoy MUY avanzado en el español. Me falta aprender mucho aún.)

Hobbies & Interests

[edit]

My hobbies and interests include reading, football, and learning foreign languages, hence the language boxes over yonder. Having served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Venezuela, I communicate in Spanish fairly well. Also, I studied Mandarin Chinese at the university for three semesters, though it has been a while so it's rather rusty. Finally, although I only know a few phrases of spoken Thai, I hope to take up a serious study of that language sometime soon (watch my Babel box).
