Seize the Day
鈥淎provecha." This is a word that I heard almost constantly when I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain, this past semester. It translates directly as 鈥渢ake advantage,鈥� but really is a command to 鈥渟eize the day.鈥� The Sevillanos use it in almost every context; you buy a coffee and the waitress says 鈥渁provecha鈥� instead of the typical 鈥渁dios.鈥�
