Answer 6

¡Es humano hacerse el avestruz!

( It is human to play the ostrich! )

Please correct my mistakes..

• hmmm "desempeñar" does not work here. es humano "hacerse" el avestruz. (Meaning to imitate its behaviour) Hi sv2qp!! - cogumela Nov 29, 2010
• Thanks cogumela.! - sv2qp Nov 29, 2010
• That 'que' shouldn't be there. 'Hacer(se)' is an infinitive, and as such it doesn't to be 'encapsulated' by 'que' to form a direct object. If the verb were conjugated, then you'd need that 'que': 'que se haga el avestruz'. - bill1111 Nov 29, 2010
• I'll go with 'hacerce' Bill I like it more as infinitive..:) thanks.! - sv2qp Nov 29, 2010

Answer 7

Pues, esto es definitivamente una mejora. Obviamente, la cabeza estaba en otra cosa cuando decidí hacer esto.

Well, this is definitely an improvement. Obviously, my head was in something else when I decided to do this.

• Don´t know if this translates to spanish properly. Almost said ¨My head was UP something else...¨ Would that translate better? - ronm192 Nov 29, 2010
• Please correct my Spanish. And, please tell me how the translation comes across in Spanish!!! - ronm192 Nov 29, 2010
• la cabeza estaba... Well done, ron! - cogumela Nov 29, 2010
• Thank you cogumela!!!! - ronm192 Nov 29, 2010

I need a new boyfriend. This one has a big head. (This is an idiom meaning "he thinks he is wonderful")

Necesito un nuevo novio. Este tiene una cabeza grande.

• Good :) - cogumela Nov 29, 2010
• Of course, 'tener una cabeza grande' doesn't mean that you think you are very clever.. just that your head is big :p - bill1111 Nov 29, 2010
• We would just say, he has a big head and it is understood that we mean he might think he is "full of himself" - Brynleigh Nov 29, 2010
• for example: Stop flattering me,I will get a big head! - Brynleigh Nov 29, 2010

Answer 13

It really wasn't the best time in my life to score a 'hole in one' !

¡Realmente no ha sido la mejor ocasión en mi vida para embocar un hoyo en uno!

Editor's note; For those not familiar with the game of golf, a 'hole in one' is where a player succeeds in hitting the ball into the appropriate hole in one shot!(I have achieved this in the game of Putting a number of times in my life... but not golf !) lol

Corregid mi español, por favor

Original Caption:

¡¡No iba a ser, en serio, la mejor vez en mi vida embocar un hoyo en un golpe!!

Sabía que debía ir a la izquierda en Albuquerque.

I knew I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque.
