I'm not sure as I hadn't been watching Startrek but if this is the vulcan salute shouldn't it read 'live long and prosper'? - Naya_Dask, Oct 27, 2013
You're right. It's better the way you say. I'm changing the title :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 27, 2013
Dif tor heh smusma, Relaxing Cup (live long and prosper in the vulcan language). :) - Naya_Dask, Oct 27, 2013

¡Maldita sea Jim!

Soy un Vulcano, no un que habla español hispanohablante.

Damn it Jim!

I am a Vulcan, not a Spanish speaker.

You live long and prosper, but I choose to have all the fun!

Te deseo una larga vida y prosperidad, pero yo decido tener toda la diversion!

(Explanation: The first part of the sentence is spoken loudly, but the second part silently in the heart!)

n Spanish, that sentence sounds better if you translate it as: "Larga vida y prosperidad" (literally: long life and prosperity). So, I would say: " (Te deseo una) larga vida y prosperidad, pero yo decido tener toda la diversión." Jejeje - RelaxingCup, Oct 27, 2013

"¿Me puedes dar el número de tu cosmetólogo y peluquero?" I've never heard "cosmetólogo". Here we say "esteticien" :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 27, 2013
Thanks R. Cup :) Do you know how to say "esteticien" on English, is it "cosmetician" or some other word? - 00b5f6c6, Oct 27, 2013
Try DesiLu studios!!!! - Jraider, Oct 27, 2013
:) Hola Jraider!! - 00b5f6c6, Oct 27, 2013
"Esteticien" or "esteticista" means beautician. - RelaxingCup, Oct 27, 2013
