No es lo mismo que me enteré de algo que me enterré.
It's not the same to say "I found out about something" as "I buried myself".
Conversing at lunch yesterday, I committed the error of saying "Me enterré de...", to which V. responded "Nopo, te enterraron? Sabes que significa eso?" "Ooops! Sí."
And then I remembered a little song/chant thing I was taught, it went something like this...
A Tito le entierran mañana.
A Tito le entierran hoy.
A ti te van a enterrar.
They bury Tito tomorrow.
They bury Tito today.
They are going to bury you.
enterarse de algo - to find out something or to find out about something
enterrar - to bury (like in a grave)
This is just plain old regular Spanish.
