Doesn't anyone on Survivor know Spanish? I'm not really fluent and I knew Rob was full of it.

I think "from the sea" would be "del mer".

Or "mar", as in Del Mar, CA. Mer is French.

Si, "mar". Me llama "Colordeagua". Color de agua. Color of water / water color(s). Me gusta los colores de agua. Four years of high school Spanish many (many many) years ago.

You are exactly right about the preposition, Dogdoc. "De" has many different usages, but its most common are "of" meaning possession or origin ("from") or material. el libro (book) de (belonging to) Maria Juan es (is) de (from) Puerto Rico una caja (box) de (made of) madera (wood) Nashville was at the 2000 census about 10% native Spanish speakers. I am sure it has gone up since then -

That should be "me llamo", not "me llama".

Very welcome, Dogdoc! Even though I learned Spanish as an adult, I learned it the same way kids do, listening and speaking. It was a real revelation to go to language school in Mexico a couple of years ago amd learn to read and write it AND grammar rules! Who knew!?!
