Today we are going to learn a very common Spanish expression: Mi Media Naranja. This phrase is informal, it has an humorously and affectionate tone, similar to "my better half". This expression comes from Plato's Symposium, where Aristophanes told that originally humans were spherical like oranges, they  were double (man-woman, woman, woman, and man-man),  they had two opposite faces on the same head, four arms and four legs that they used to move by rolling, . Then one day, Zeus decided to split them in two. Since then we have all been presumably searching for the literally missing half we long to be reunited with. Example sentences: 1. Tú eres mi media naranja You are my better half 2. ¡Por fin encontré a mi media naranja! I finally found my better half. 3. Ahí viene mi media naranja. Here comes my better half. 4. María, te presento a mi media naranja. Mary, this is my better half. Watch the video to see the pronuncia...
