✨Brillar por su ausencia is an idiomatic expression in Spanish that is used to indicate that someone is not in the place or at the time he/she is needed. It literally means to shine by his absence.
👨🏫History
👉This expression has its origin during the Roman Empire where it was a tradition, when someone died, to exhibit the portraits of all the ancestors of the deceased in the funeral urn.
🕵According to the historian Tacitus in his book III called "Annals", many people pointed out that the pictures of two criminals were not exhibited and they said those photos "Brillaban por su ausencia" at Junia's funeral: Cassius and Brutus (Julius Caesar's assassins).
Thus, in the 18th century, this phrase was popularized by the French poet André de Chenier.
✏Let's practice!
Leave an example with this expression in the comments below! I'll give you feedback.

🤔If we literally translate the idiomatic expression Sacar la casta, the meaning would be taking the breed out. However, taking the breed out is nothing more than having the courage to face situations with bravery no matter how difficult they may be.
🕵️♀️This expression is related to our ancestors. The meaning Casta in Spanish is ancestry or lineage. In this sense, "sacar la casta" has to do with the positive characteristics of our ancestors such as honor, bravery, courage, honesty, strength, among others.
👉That is why, when we say "sacar la casta", it refers to using any of the positive characteristics of our ancestors to face difficult situations in life.
💬Do you have an example using Sacar la casta? Leave it in the comments, I'll give you feedback.

Si traducimos literalmente la expresión idiomática en español Sacar la casta, el significado sería taking the breed out. No obstante, sacar la casta no es mas que tener el coraje para enfrentar situaciones con valentía por muy difícil que sea.
Dicha expresión tiene relación con nuestros antepasados. El significado Casta en español es ascendencia o linaje. En este sentido, "sacar la casta" tiene que ver con las características positivas de nuestros antepasados tales como la honor, valentía, coraje, honradez, fuerza, entre otras.
Es por ello que, cuando decimos sacar la casta, se refiere a usar cualquiera de las características positivas de nuestros antepasados para enfrentar situaciones difíciles de la vida.
