llama excelente, mi amigo! (I hope I got that right...) Technically speaking it would be: Una flama excellente (in a literal translation from excellent flame). The word "llama" means the same as "flama", except it would be used in a different way. More on the lines of a house fire. The cyber kind follows more along its original language (English), hence "flama" (flame) is more appropriate. In addition, the word "llama" could also mean (in English), "call", as in: She calls me = Ella me llama or, She calls tree names = Ella llama tres nombres Further, Llama = Llama (the animal from the Andes) In Spanish the doble letter "ll" sound as in the 'J' in Janis, and it is considered as its own letter i.e.: "ll" So: Los llanos llenos de trigo se llenaron de agua por las lluvias durante el verano. The plains full of wheat were filled with water due to the rains during the summer Either way, it was understood and appreciated as a compliment, thank you kindly sir...er. . . Chicken. Zorro
