Answer 3

All her (girl-) friends said that she married the most handsome man in the neighbourhood

= Todas sus amigas dijeron que se casó con el hombre más guapo de la vecindad

Editor's note/s: Yes, I know that this is really a dog but the ''tongue in cheek'' humour using the illustration is designed to make you think that she married a dog. The reality is her husband is not pictured. Sorry, guys she's already taken! rofl

Original sentence:

Todas sus amigas dijeron que se casó con el hombre más guapo en la vecindad

• :) - PrincessMari Jan 23, 2012
• Since they say that ''beauty is in the eye of the beholder'' and it would be next to impossible to know what each girl here would agree to as being: ''handsome'' ....I decided to post a ''tongue in cheak''' humerous response!... - FELIZ77 Jan 23, 2012
• correction: cheek - FELIZ77 Jan 23, 2012
• Muchas gracias, Princesa :) - FELIZ77 Jan 23, 2012
• ... de la vecindad (or del vecindario) Well done, Paul! :) - cogumela Jan 23, 2012

Answer 5

Handsome is in the eye of the beholder.

El guapo está en los ojos de quien lo mira.

El guapo está en los ojos del que mira.

• with improvement gracias a Cogu but keeping the word of the day although it doesn't really translate well :(

• La belleza está en los ojos del que mira. ( The sentence with guapo makes no sense) Well done, kiwi! :) - cogumela Jan 23, 2012
• thanx cogu, yes I know it should be belleza and that guapo won't fit well but I was just trying to have a play on words :) - Kiwi-Girl Jan 23, 2012
• But... there is no play on words. I mean, the sentence just makes no sense, kiwi . Maybe you mean: ¿El guapo es el que mira? - c - cogumela Jan 24, 2012
• And apart from that "de quien lo mira" What does the "lo" mean there? This sentence is wrong, as simple as that. - cogumela Jan 24, 2012
• I love this! - Gillygaloo Jan 24, 2012

• You can also omit the verb: Si estás buscando un hombre guapo, inteligente.... But if you add the verb, it must take subjunctive, just because you are not focusing on a determined man, who has those qualities, but rather on any man who may have those.... - cogumela Jan 23, 2012
