Permit me to chide you by pointing out the obvious: For any verb, X, you can't truthfully say you're not X-ing if you don't know what X means.
For the meaning(s) of 'chide', see <http://www.babylon.com/definition/chide/Spanish> or <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chide> or <http://www.wordreference.com/definition/chide>.
I'm certainly not, BTW, chiding you for your imperfect comprehension of English, which is a lot better than mine of Spanish.
