 * Regarding this comment, I'd be happy to be this group's mentor; so yes, you all can count with my help. ♠  TomasBat   20:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion for discussion
The three contributions that students need to do next partial (~October) is to significantly edit an article, create a stub and translate an article from English Wikipedia for Spanish Wikipedia. For more information, see the School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus page. As the members of this group are from South America, they will need your help to find the appropriate Wikiproject pages to work from. I have the Wikiproject pages for Mexico on the navigation bar but that would most likely not be of their interest. Thank you! Thelmadatter 14:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Amorfinos (STUB)
Amorfino is defined as some type of Ecuadorian poetry. It manifests Coast Folklore and represents, in a way, peasants’ feelings. They are mostly used in “montubios” roundups. Amorfinos are considered as a challenge, a sweet and delicate verse that tries to conquer a woman, occurrences that cause fun. They are a game in where comedy predominates and occurs by an interchange of experiences.


 * Cuando veo una morena
 * Me lo voy de medio lao,
 * Como er gavilán ar pollo,
 * Como la garza ar pescador.


 * El gallo en su gallinero
 * También se sacude y canta
 * El que duerme con mujer ajena
 * Paso a paso se levanta.
