Hello. Thank you for all the time you're putting into this. - 0095ca4c, Nov 2, 2013

Hello Margherite. I am glad to contribute my two cents :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 2, 2013

You contribute much more than that, RC.:) - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 1

Yo me quedo con lo que gana a todos.

I will stick with that which wins them all.

"Yo me quedo (estrictamente )con el que gana a todos." :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

I actually mean the word that wins them all which is undefined in this case. I'll stick strictly with the (whichever is) that wins them all. Would you say it same way? - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

Ok. If the speaker is, for example, someone that doesn't know the game. He would say: "Me quedo con el que sea que (whichever is) gane a todos" or "Me quedo con el que gana a todos, sea el que sea. (whichever it is)" :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

It's the use of ''el'' I was wondering about. So I'll stick with your first suggestion as estrictamente sounds beautifully. Hola RC. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

I would say , "I will stick with that which wins them all " I feel that "strictly" is superfluous" and "which wins them all" is almost a question., - ray76, Nov 3, 2013

I stand corrected. Thanks a lot Ray. I'm buffled as there doesn't seem to exist any neutral article like ''it'' in spanish. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

You could use "lo" as in: "Me quedo con lo que gana a todos." "Lo" can be anything. - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Muchas gracias a ambos Ray y RC. Ahora es perfecto en ambos los idiomas. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

I shall put my money on you. - annierats, Nov 3, 2013

Risky annierats. I get bored easily and might quit anytime. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

Today I will mark this as best answer because of her perseverance in finding the most accurate translation for her answer. :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 5, 2013

Congratulations Naya! - pmikan-pam, Nov 5, 2013

Answer 2

Chop, chop, you're dead!

Corto, corto, ¡estás muerto!

Yep, only 3. Don't make scissors angry. - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 3

Juego terminó, mi mamá esta llamandome tengo que cortar los arbustos.Game over,my mom is calling me to cut the bushes.

Lol - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

Yeah, yeah.. Edward. Didn't you find a better excuse? :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

"El juego terminó, mi mamá esta llamándome: tengo que cortar los arbustos." or "El juego ha terminado, mi mamá me está llamando para que corte (to cut) the bushes". :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Thank you. - heliotropeman, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 4

¡Que alguien vaya y consiga el periódico!

Somebody go and grab the newspaper!

I wasn't sure if it would be consiguen or consigue, because the person is asking several people. - 0083f5dc, Nov 2, 2013

jejeje - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

jejeje. It would say: "¡Que alguien consiga el periódico! (alguien, singular)" or also "¡Que alguien vaya y consiga el periódico! (go and grab)" :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Yes! paper! - annierats, Nov 3, 2013

Thank you, RelaxingCup. - 0083f5dc, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 5

I'm all scissors today!

¡Soy todo tijera hoy!

Edward Scissorthumbs! - 0095ca4c, Nov 2, 2013

jajaja - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

That's perfect. It can be: "Soy todo tijera" or "Soy todo tijeras". :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Muchas gracias, RC! - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 6

Rock I win, scissors you lose.

Piedra yo gano, tijeras tú pierdes.

Hola amigo! ¿Cómo estás? - 0095ca4c, Nov 2, 2013

Muy bien, Y tu mi amiga? - Ranman, Nov 2, 2013

Bien también. I'm just googling 'wolf poo'. I saw something on my walk in the woods and I don't know what it is so I don't know if I should be worried about my dog. - 0095ca4c, Nov 2, 2013

Jeje...:) - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

That's perfect. Just one thing: in Spain we say: "Piedra, papel, tijeras":) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Thanks RC: ) - Ranman, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 7

Purl Stich

Tejer una puntilla dos.

Knit one purl two.

Good one! Up you go Ray. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

I've been looking into it and I think it should be: "Uno al derecho, uno al revés". But I still doubt: is it "pearl" or "purl"? - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

I don't do much knitting :) - ian-hill, Nov 3, 2013

@ relaxingcup, I have made a mistake in the spelling , you are right it is purl. - ray76, Nov 3, 2013

New word for me too :) - ian-hill, Nov 3, 2013

@Ian: Neither do I. What I'm familiar with is the urban dictionary. Stands for a man sitting in between two women the way Ray is at this very moment. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

@Naya_Dask, click on the link and all will be revealed , Urban dictionaries are "urbane" mayhap. - ray76, Nov 3, 2013

Do I have to learn to knit just to vote you up! Hola Ray. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

??? I have no idea what you mean,shouldn't the English be purr? ( sitting between two women, purring as they purl or whatever?) - annierats, Nov 3, 2013

Thjanks Annie , I corrected the wrong one , it should be right now , I am getting old you know. - ray76, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 8

Quero jugar al juego del ahorcado en vez de este.

I want to play hangman instead instead of this game.

I prefer play dumb instead. Easier to catch up. :) - Naya_Dask, Nov 3, 2013

Grandmother's footsteps ismyfavourite, actually. - annierats, Nov 3, 2013

Should be: "Quiero jugar al juego del ahorcado en vez de a este." Hola annie :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 4, 2013

Answer 9

¿Así quien es papel?

So who's paper?

He is. jeje - rac1, Nov 3, 2013

Yours okay (just the accent in "quién"). I would say: "¿Entonces, quién es el papel?" :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 10

Johnny Depp's most recent movie left critics slightly confused.

La película más reciente de Johnny Depp dejó a los críticos ligeramente confundidos.

I think that the direct translation for yours would be: "La película más reciente" or "La última película" + "Jhonny Depp dejó a los críticos ligeramente confundidos". Yes, "confundidos" works better here. Very good! - RelaxingCup, Nov 3, 2013

Thanks! That sounds better. All fixed now. - vevans, Nov 3, 2013

Answer 11

Mr. Rock, go ahead and strangle him to end his misery! It is better to sit in jail than to watch this. And do me a favor: Don't tell anyone I said so.

Señor Rock, adelante y estrangúlelo para poner fin a su miseria! Es mejor sentarse en la cárcel que mirar esto. Y hágame un favor: No le diga a nadie que (yo) dije eso.

"Señor Rock, adelante y estrangúlelo para poner fin a su miseria! Es mejor sentarse en la cárcel que mirar esto. Y hágame un favor: No le diga a nadie que (yo) dije eso." Nice one! - RelaxingCup, Nov 4, 2013

Thank you, RC. You are the Guru. - Raja-jani, Nov 4, 2013

Answer 12

How about a come back? ¿Qué dices de una una remontada?

What does mean 'come back' here? To start playing again from the beginning? - RelaxingCup, Nov 4, 2013

English help for RC: "What does 'come back' mean here?" It means, scoring enough points to equal or surpass the opponent. - Raja-jani, Nov 5, 2013

Ok! Thanks! It is "una remontada". So: "¿Qué dices de..." or "¿Qué te parece..." + "una remontada?" :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 5, 2013

Thanks RC - pmikan-pam, Nov 5, 2013
