Aline Berenice Medina Espejel

student•

that’s a very good distinction, while “talk big” works better with bragging, exaggerated confidence, promises orego-driven speech

Exactly. Talk big is about the ego, while dish out is about the delivery of information—often unsolicited or blunt. You've nailed the nuance.

If dish out is about serving up opinions, what kind of situation do you think would make someone spill the beans instead?

Aline Berenice Medina Espejel

student•

en la 7 tambien pudiera quedar talk big?

Aline, talk big implies bragging or making empty promises, while the context for sentence 7 is about someone actively giving their opinion to others.

Does "dish out" feel more like a one-way delivery of opinions compared to the boastful nature of "talking big"?
