Find a word related to DO

7
votes

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word DO (verb) can be a noun

and then

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Example:

I would like to do this.

Me gustaría hacer esto.

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This is the previous challenge

No puedo hacer todo, dondequiera me gustaría hacer algo.

I'm not able to do everything, wherever I would like to do something.

.make do and save ? :) - ian-hill, Oct 14, 2012
I hope he fattens up soon. :) - ian-hill, Oct 14, 2012
Well, I don't know what mend is in Spanish, so I just made it up, you know? Nobody else knows either, with any luck! - annierats, Oct 14, 2012
Besides, make do and mend means you make lots of boring savings: When were you ever advised to throw away and spend? - annierats, Oct 14, 2012

Yo hago,es la frase favorita de cada mujer.

Yo hago; para algunas mujeres es una frase favorita,

A veces , yo hace , es más apropiado.

I do , is every woman's favourite phrase .

Sometimes , I did, is more appropriate.

I do; for some women is a favourite phrase .

I came to the conclusion that Ian can achieve many things, but this is not one of them.

Llegué a la conclusión de que Ian se puede lograr muchas cosas, pero este no es uno de ellos.
