Answer 4

Every smile tells its own story

= Cada sonrisa puede contar su propio cuento

= Corregid mi español, por favor

Original sentence:

Cada sonrisa puede contar su proprio cuento

"its own story"...no apostrophe necessary :) - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

Remember, just one sentence :P the first one is almost perfect, but the word is "propio". The second should be "Cada sonrisa cuenta su propia hisitoria" Great job, again :D - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

¡Por cierto, Feliz! - Ingeteacher, Jul 3, 2011

very true!! :) - 001a2987, Jul 3, 2011

feliz, you must be more careful correcting....we cannot accept the post unless you correct all mistakes! - 00494d19, Jul 4, 2011

Okay sorry Heidi and thank you I did correct my mistake in my first sentence propRio --> propio I just deleted the second sentence because Vicente said I should have written just one sentence :) - FELIZ77, Jul 4, 2011

Answer 5

Sonreirse es contagioso, pero encabronarse es odioso. No importa que tengas dientes o no.

To smile is contagious, but to get pissed off is hateful. It´s not important that you have teeth or not.

Jeje - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

Sun Smile, I think you must have inspired this thread - 005faa61, Jul 3, 2011

Oh, because of my name? Sonrisa? :) - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

Of course - 005faa61, Jul 3, 2011

"Sonreír es contagioso, pero encabronarse es "detestable" (sounds better). No importa *si* tienes dientes o no" Just minor corrections to make it more natural :D Muy bien hecho, Julián - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

jajaja - 001a2987, Jul 3, 2011

Encabronarse. I'm learning a lot of new words today! - MLucie, Jul 4, 2011

You can find the most beautiful smile when you least expect it . . . . . . .

Se puede encontrar la sonrisa más hermosa cuando uno menos se lo espera . . . . .

Bien hecho - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

Muy bien, Inge ! A suggestion : I think "cuando uno menos se lo espera" sounds better, but yours is right, anyway :D you always surprise me, eh ! Great job - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

¡Porque a mí me gusto tanto este juego! Muchas gracias por continuarlo, Vicente ;) - Ingeteacher, Jul 3, 2011

Answer 7

Every face with a smile is beautiful.

Todas las caras con una sonrisa son bonitas hermosas.

NO pictures please!!

Would it be "todas las caras" or "cada cara"? - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

"todas las caras" is right :D and your sentence is right, too (although, according to the English version, it should be "hermosas" instead of "bonitas", but it doesn't matter that much, hehe) I love the picture ! very good :D - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

Gracias! - SonrisaDelSol, Jul 3, 2011

Estoy de acuerdo contigo, Sonrisa . . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Jul 3, 2011

Estoy feliz de que aún estoy sano en mi vejez

You've used "de que" very well ! Great job, Wilbur, it's perfect as well. - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

it is in book 4 of my course and I have only just finished that one so it is fresh in my mind. - MaryMcc, Jul 3, 2011

That's great, Wil :D Sigue así - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

Answer 13

It takes 72 muscles to cry but only 15 to smile, so cry more and get more exercise.

Toma 72 musculos para llorar pero sólo 15 para sonreir, así que llora más y harás más ejercicio

Perfecto, but in this case, I would prefer to use "less muscles" and smile the whole time :o hahaha very good ! - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011

I sound like a bit of an anti-christ saying to cry more... oops - dewclaw, Jul 3, 2011

Soy perezosa, pues haré lo contrario, D ;) - Ingeteacher, Jul 3, 2011

Zadeworks, it´s plural so "fewer muscles" would be used. "Less" is singular - 005faa61, Jul 3, 2011

what? - dewclaw, Jul 3, 2011

Oh, thank you very much, Julian ! I didn't know that :D Thanks for correcting me - Vicente1, Jul 3, 2011
