Questions & Answers about Mi hermano anda curioseando porque quiere un reloj de bronce.
Why use anda curioseando instead of está curioseando?
What verb does curioseando come from?
It comes from curiosear, which means to browse, look around, or even to pry or snoop. As you might guess, it is closely related to the word curioso (curious).
Why does the sentence say reloj de bronce instead of just translating 'bronze watch' word-for-word?
In Spanish, you generally cannot stack nouns to act as adjectives like we do in English. To describe what an object is made of, you must use the preposition de followed by the material. So, a bronze watch is always un reloj de bronce (literally, a watch of bronze).
