- 1820, anonymous author, Diálogo entre Dominjos e Farruco:
- Eu ben sei que si lle preghuntases esto ó Capitán, pode mui ben que che digha que non se acorda canto levou, pero para quitar a duda podes faser esta conta. Vinte e un foron os quintos, dandolle a cada un seis reás por día, importa sento e vinte e seis, e si nas dés leghuas tardaron tres días ghastaron tresentos setenta e oito, e dandolle ó que os levou outro tanto, asende o total a setesentos sincuenta e seis reás; ¿e os qué faltan hasta tres mil e seisentos?
- I know for certain that if you ask this to the captain, quite probably he will say that he doesn't remember how much money he took, but to clear up any doubt you can do this count. There were twenty-one conscripts, giving six reals each one per day, this amounts to a hundred and twenty-six; and if ten leagues took them three days, then they expended three hundred and seventy-eight. Giving the same amount to the guide, the total rises to seven hundred and fifty-six reals; what about what's missing up to three thousand and six hundred?
- (intransitive) to matter (be important)
