issa, this cannot be understood. - 00494d19, Oct 10, 2009
Thank you for starting this. I slept late today. It's definitely too much for one person to do it every day, but I think someone should. - Goyo, Oct 10, 2009
You're welcome, Goyo :) Heidita, couldn't it be translated to: "If it wasn't for Spanish, I'd freeze"? - Issabela, Oct 10, 2009
no - 00494d19, Oct 10, 2009
first, I see no sense in it in english either, then in Spanish it must be subjunctive....many changes - 00494d19, Oct 10, 2009
In English, it's second conditional; and I thought that I could express it in Spanish in a similar way. It's like "It's so great that I've got Spanish, otherwise I'd freeze". - Issabela, Oct 11, 2009
Si no fuera por el español ... - samdie, May 25, 2010

Para una mala pasada a la fiesta de Adriana, su marido congeló insectos para hacer cubitos de hielo.

(For a practical joke at Adriana's party, her husband froze bugs in the ice cubes.)

"Espero no congelarme/que no me congele cuando vaya de camping este fin de semana." I hate spiders therefore I hate camping! :P - InésDelRío, Oct 10, 2009

Fuí fuera y era helado.

  1. Era - you should use the imperfect tense, as you're somehow describing the scene.
  2. Conhelado means frozen: pescado congelado, verdura congelada; helado means freezing.

Thank you! I knew congelar meant to freeze but it is just for things (in that sense I mean)? Cool, thanks for the input. :) - - Jason7R, Oct 10, 2009

Nunca se congela en Bolivia, aparte de en lo alto de las montañas.

No me pagas por eso. Haré tu tarea en cuanto se congele el infierno

(o en cuanto los cerdos se vuelen, lo que venga antes)

La primera vez yo la vi no pude quitarme los ojos de ella, estuve congelado. Sabía que era la chica de mis sueños.


(The first time I saw her I couldn't take my eyes off her, I was frozen. I knew that she was the girl of my dreams.)
