Answer 4

I can have nightmares without seeing pictures like this.

Puedo tener pesadillas sin ver fotos como así.

Welcome to my nightmare!! - Jraider, Nov 23, 2013

"ver fotos como esta (esta = esta foto)" or "ver fotos así" (like this in general) - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 5

Él tiene muy mal gusto para vestir sentido de vestido ,

esos pantalones son ridículos.

Él no estará nominado para el club de golf.

He has very bad dress sense , those pants are ridiculous.

He will not be nominated for the Golf club.

'dress sense' = "gusto para vestir". So: "Él tiene muy mal gusto para vestir, esos pantalones son ridículos" + "El no estará/será nominado para el club de golf". Un saludo Ray. - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks mate, I just knew that there would be a phrase for dress sense, but could not find it. I list of these would be handy , I may look them up. - ray76, Nov 23, 2013

It's "Él no"(with accent), my mistake. - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

I did not think you would notice , it is hard to do the capitol with an accent so I fudged it , I should have known you were " Hawkeye " - ray76, Nov 23, 2013

I try to do my best :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 24, 2013

Answer 6

No matter what you do, keep away from the ferris wheel!

¡No importa lo que hagas, aléjate de la noria!

Very good! - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

That's close to what I was thinking,except I thought merry- go round. - heliotropeman, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 7

Is there something wrong with me if I think this picture is beautiful?

¿Hay algo mal en mí si pienso que esta imagen es hermosa?

"¿Hay algo mal en mi...?" is grammatically correct. But I think most of the times you will hear: "¿Me pasa algo (malo) si..?". The phrase "¿What is wrong with you?" is translated as: "¿Qué te pasa?" or "¿Qué pasa contigo?", also "¿Cuál es tu problema?" - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Good to know. Thanks. - AnnRon, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 8

Hey, Bozo - it's easier to shave yourself before you put the collar on.

¡Bozo -- es más fácil de afeitar antes de poner el collar!

"Es más fácil afeitarse antes de ponerse el collar (in general)" or "antes de ponerte (tú) el collar". Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 9

El título: ¡Carnaval espeluznante a noche!

Caption: Creepy Carnival at Night!

I ain't goin'!!!! - Jraider, Nov 23, 2013

at night = "de noche" or "por la noche". :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Sometimes you might also hear: "a la noche" - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 10

¡Mi lápiz de labios se está corriendo!

My lipstick is running!

Jajajajajaja - rac1, Nov 23, 2013

Should be "se está corriendo". Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

jejeje - Aranjuez12, Nov 23, 2013

¡Es Pennywise!

I hate that movie sorry....couldn't sleep for three weeks when I was kid....along with all the other movies of Stephen King. not my kind of movie - Aranjuez12, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 13

Come on! Join us! It will be fun, I promise you.

¡Venga! ¡Acompáñanos! Será divertido, te lo prometo.

Good! Just remember "acompáñenos" is for formal you (usted) and "te lo prometo" is for informal you (tú). "¡Venga! ¡Acompáñenos (usted)/Acompáñanos (tú)! Será divertido, se (usted)/ te (tu) lo prometo." - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Or you can skip that just saying: "lo prometo" (I promise) :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks Rel. Cup!! Have a nice day :) - 00b5f6c6, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks lilium, you too :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 14

Welcome! Do you prefer to have your blood sucked by a vampire, squeezed by a python, or bees all over your body? I can offer something scarier.

¡Bienvenido! ¿Prefieres ser succionado por un vampiro, ser estrujado por una pitón o tener abejas en todo el cuerpo? Te puedo ofrecer algo más aterrador.

In English passive voice is much more used than in Spanish, this is one example of that. "¿Prefieres que te succione la sangre un vampiro? (active)" or "¿Prefieres ser succionado por un vampiro? (passive)" - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

Plus: "... ser estrujado por una pitón o tener abejas en/por todo el cuerpo?". Very challenging and well approached. Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

I don't know what to choose :) - 00b5f6c6, Nov 23, 2013

Thanks, RC. I don't intend to learn speaking like that to people! - Raja-jani, Nov 23, 2013

Answer 15

he has spilled ketchup.

Se ha derramado Ketchup.

Very good use of "se" here - meaning that he spilled ketchup all over his own face. See that it's context-dependent because it can also mean "Ketchup has been spilled". Saludos! - RelaxingCup, Nov 23, 2013

gracias RC - Aranjuez12, Nov 23, 2013
