Answer 1

He visto perros de taza de té pero nunca gatitos de taza de té.

I have seen tea cup dogs but never teacup cats.

• I had never heard of either, but apparently they both exist! Good post Yeser! I had to look this one up, so apparently the norm is to say "perros taza de té" [without the first "de"] - gintar77 Sep 1, 2011
• Thank you Gintar. Actually, "teacup poodles" are a popular breed. - Yeser007 Sep 1, 2011
• Teacup Chihuahuas also - pacofinkler Sep 1, 2011
• I didn't know either. Smart:) - ianta Sep 2, 2011

• despierta :) - pesta Sep 1, 2011
• ¡Genial! ¿Qué puedo decir? Yo también soy dormilón. Un errorcito en tu español: deSpierta. Si quieres que la frase en inglés pegue con el español, diría: As one can see the little girl kitten, that is, the white one, is the....even from such an early age. - gintar77 Sep 1, 2011
• ¡Gracias! Y gracias por participar, también. - gintar77 Sep 1, 2011

What? We are too little to use the bathroom and my brother is constipated, so don't mind if your coffee tastes weird this morning.

¿Qué? Somos muy pequeños para usar el cuarto de baño y mi hermano está estreñido, así que no te enfades si tu café sabe raro esta manaña.

• Great caption, Leatha!! - territurtle Sep 1, 2011

Answer 7

¿los gatos en las tazas? ¿no el café? ¿ qué sigue? ¿ las tormentas en las tazas?

Cats in cups? not coffee? whats next? storms in the cups?

Referring to "tempests in teacups"

I think I like " perritos en las tazas" better but I am going to leave it as it is.

• ;)) - territurtle Sep 1, 2011
• Good job, paco! I don't know if it's colloquial, but "¿qué sigue?" doesn't sound natural to me. I would say "¿Y luego qué? -- Also, I would add the definite article to all the nouns here. Los gatos, el café, las tormentas. - gintar77 Sep 1, 2011
• Maybe ask your wife about "qué sigue"? - gintar77 Sep 1, 2011
• I did it more like speaking than writing - pacofinkler Sep 1, 2011
• I will check it out also - pacofinkler Sep 1, 2011

Please pour the cream into my cup first. My brother is asleep.

Por favor, vierta eche la crema en mi taza primera. Mi hermano está dormido.
