(Sorry, I know that's Spanish and not Portuguese). This is a litle of topic.. but.. "de nada" is portuguese..i don't even recall it to be spanish.. maybe its an expession used in both languages..but.. one thing for sure.. "De nada" is what a portuguese replies when someone thanks him, or at least.. a polite one. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
