hierba mala....is what we always said for weed.... but then switched to grama for grass in a lawn.... like the saying.. hierba mala nunca muere.......

i called a colombian freind in miami...he said grama too..but he hasnt lived in colombia for 20 years.....

so far I have not seen any lawn grass here, but I have a nice yard full of weeds.

So many different words in Spanish for the same thing. Then if you don't say the correct word prefered or pronounce it perfectly by the person you are talking to, they don't have a clue to what you are saying or even try to understand. The other day I had trouble using the word sillin. I didn't put enough i in the last part of the word. Well excuse the f out of me! Very frustrating.
