What does yo cocinar cocino mean?
Expression
cook I do — the construction that concedes before it objects
The verb is repeated, first as an infinitive and then conjugated, to grant one half of something and hold back the other: cocinar cocino, pero fregar no. Very common in speech and next to impossible to find in a coursebook. It works with any verb: trabajar trabajo, dormir duermo, gustarme me gusta.
Estudiar estudio, pero no me entero de nada.
