Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help

recién, adverb
just, recently; newly

How people use words differs between Spain and Latin America, just as American and US English are different. In Latin America, you can use recién with a finite verb.

Recién se fueron.
They’ve just left.
Recién llegó.
He has only just arrived OR He arrived only recently.

In Spain, you only use recién with past participles ? a use which is also valid in Latin America.

los recién casados
the newlyweds
recién hecho
newly made

Be careful of your clothes if you see this sign!

RECIÉN PINTADO
