Delegado not Delgado
Posted by charley on February 24, 2019, 7:28 pm
I see in a lot of posts the word "Delgado". Our new Delegado is Francisco. He is the Delegate of Municipality of La Huerta in La Manzanilla. Delgado means thin...not quite Francisco...

Funny thing. I've always been a skinny guy and when I spent some time in Colombia in the late 80's, I got to know some Colombianos. As their reputation is, they are quite direct and used to call me Flaco. I used to reply, no soy flake, soy delgado. They laughed, but continued to call me Flaco. | -------------------Re: Delegado not Delgado

Delgado is an adjective : Thin . Flaco is an adjective and noun : Skinny. Usually used as a name or for younger men. As they love surnames (apodos) no surprise they called you FLACO . | -------------------Re: Delegado not Delgado

How about the building where Francisco has his office? Is that also the delegado? | -------------------Re: Delegado not Delgado

It is called La delegacion...(del municipio de La Huerta) The other official place is "oficina del Ejido" north of the bookstore. I am still confused by who does what... and different duties.... but I am not a permanente residente....Daniel can may be explain it.

I am sure there are others who could do a better job of explaining. As far as I know Ejido is land and Delegado is civil law. | -------------------Re: Delegado not Delgado

AND FURTHERMORE, it is "muchas gracias", not "muchas garcias" and in responce, "de nada" is correct, not "dinero". | -------------------photo of Delgado?

A suggestion is to not have a photo for his personal security. | -------------------Re: photo of Delgado?

Francisco is an elected official. He also runs the ambulance of "proteccion civil". Well known in the community. Picture of him at Walk/Run Feb 17.
