And the piece of cuttlery you eat it with is called fork. :) - Naya_Dask, Dec 12, 2013

Gracias RC :-)! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

I feel I am going to puke if I eat that .

Come on ray, no worse than seaweed!!!!! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Love seaweed mate , I could inhale it. - ray76, Dec 12, 2013

Pobre bebé.. - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

First part is perfect, the end should be".. si me como esto." Saludos :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Gracias amigo , I could say it was a typo, but it would be a "white lie" - ray76, Dec 12, 2013

It's OK. Just make sure you send it straight back in where you ate it from. Then you can eat it again. :) - Naya_Dask, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 3

¡Si no quita esto fuera de mi vista, voy a llamar a mi abogado y voy a interponer una demanda contra usted por maltrato infantil, mamá. Y ganaré.!

If you don’t take this out of my sight, I’m going to call my lawyer and bring a lawsuit against you for child abuse, mom! And I'll win!

Yes, stands a good chance. - annierats, Dec 12, 2013

Here come da judge!!! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Hurray! The carnivorous judge came to my assistance. I told ya I'd win!!! Hola Jraider. :) - Naya_Dask, Dec 12, 2013

Nowadays that is all too true! - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

RC? Any corrections on this please? It's basically the second part I'm interested in. - Naya_Dask, Dec 13, 2013

"Si no quita esto fuera de mi vista, voy a llamar a mi abogado y voy a interponer una demanda contra usted por maltrato infantil, mamá. Y ganaré." :) Un saludo Naya! - RelaxingCup, Dec 13, 2013

So, you repeat "voy a" after the conjunction "y", not the same thing in English. How strange! Anyway, thanks and good afternoon RC. :) - Naya_Dask, Dec 13, 2013

It's not necessary Naya, you can also say: "voy a llamar a mi abogado y a interponer una demanda" or just "voy a llamar a mi abogado e interponer una demanda" :) - RelaxingCup, Dec 13, 2013

Answer 4

Vale, si todos los pobrecitos niños hambrientes de Africa quieren comer este, dejales comerlo.

Ok, if all the poor , starving children in Africa want to eat this this, let them!

What a compassionate chap you are little one! - Naya_Dask, Dec 12, 2013

Jeje, - pmikan-pam, Dec 12, 2013

it is the comment that follows on from Pim pams. At least it used to be. - annierats, Dec 12, 2013

you can send it by airmail - Aranjuez12, Dec 12, 2013

Horse feed??? - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

"... África quieren comerse esto, déjales (comerlo)." Very good! - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 5

I'm not going to try it. Let's get Mikey, he eats anything.

No voy a probarlo. Vamos a Mikey, él come cualquier cosa.

Who's Mickey? Maybe a pet? If so: "Vamos a dárselo a Mickey" The rest is perfect. Saludos. - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

RC, Mikey was a character from a television commercial for a breakfast cereal called "Life". - Mainer, Dec 12, 2013

Bam! - Ranman, Dec 12, 2013

Yikes! Thanks RC! Mikey isn't a pet, so how should I correct? - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

Where Dat Mikey when we need him? - pmikan-pam, Dec 12, 2013

I think it is perfecto Annitlta - pmikan-pam, Dec 12, 2013

Jeje!Good one annie! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Jajaja, I just watched that commercial: "nutritious, delicious". If 'let's get Mikey' = 'let's give it to Mikey' then my previous correction qualifies. If it's more like: 'let's see what Mikey does' then "Veamos qué hace Mikey". Saludos - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Second thought: yours is probably perfect. The problem is mine because I'm trying to understand (and translate) every nuance of your English sentences. Perfect! - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Muchas Gracias RC! jajajaja - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

Thanks Pamalita. Thanks Ranman and JR! - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 6

Just wait! When I become a President I will prohibit consumation of broccoli by Decree.

¡Sólo espera! Cuando me convierta en Presidente voy a prohibir el consumo de brócoli por Decreto.

Very good! "Cuando me convierta en Presidente (omit the article)" + "el consumo de brócoli". Un saludo lilium! - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Gracias Relaxing Cup. Saludos para ti tambien! - 00b5f6c6, Dec 12, 2013

Good English, except "consumption." - Raja-jani, Dec 12, 2013

I like the consumation better..more interesting! - annierats, Dec 12, 2013

Hola Annie and Rajaji; I'm a bit confused now: consumption or consumation :). - 00b5f6c6, Dec 12, 2013

Long way to go, lots of broccoli to consume before you become a President, though. Eat! :) - Naya_Dask, Dec 12, 2013

Famous words from the young George Bush. - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Ha ha Jraider :) Hola Naya :) Poor child.. - 00b5f6c6, Dec 12, 2013

Oh Jr, you say the sweetest things. My eyes are still watering, I hope I don't put down the wrong spelling, because I cannot see. - pmikan-pam, Dec 12, 2013

Thanks RC - pmikan-pam, Dec 12, 2013

Everything good for you tastes bad to kids. jeje - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 9

Yo puedo mover el tenedor con la mente.Sí puedo hacer la lechuga a se caer al suelo.La fuerza es conmigo. I can move the fork with my mind. Yes I can make the lettuce fall to the floor.The force is with me.

Yeah, mind over matter: ) - Ranman, Dec 12, 2013

That's cheating! - annierats, Dec 12, 2013

Force it with the force! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

"(Yo) puedo mover el tenedor con la mente. Sí, puedo hacer caer la lechuga al suelo" or "puedo hacer que la lechuga caiga al suelo". + "La fuerza está conmigo". Saludos. 'Que la fuerza te acompañe' - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 11

What is this mom? It looks like rabbit food.

¿Mamá, qué es esto? Parece como comida para conejos.

No happy meal today kid!!!!! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Or worse. jeje - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

Very good! I would say: "Parece comida para conejos." But I'm not sure if that's just style. - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

In English we Americans overuse the word "like" so the como is my way of saying like and you are probably corect that it is superflous. - gringojrf, Dec 12, 2013

Answer 12

Si lo miro fijamente con suficiente fuerza tal vez mamá se lo llevará lleve!

If I stare at it hard enough maybe Mom will take it away!

I used to think like that. lol - rac1, Dec 12, 2013

He is using The Force, jajaja. "Si lo miro (at it)" + "tal vez mamá se lo lleve." (I would use subjunctive after tal vez). Un saludo! - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

Or it will start growing! - Jraider, Dec 12, 2013

Hola Annie y JR! Gracias, RC! - bandit51jd, Dec 12, 2013

Los niños nacen y se convierten en hombres con una aversión congénita de por verduras.

"aversión a/hacia/por (3 possibilities) las verduras". Saludos. - RelaxingCup, Dec 12, 2013

I wondered (when i wrote it) if the English should be "of" or "for" vegetables. I have changed both the English and Spanish to "for & por". - Moe, Dec 12, 2013

Girls too. jeje - rac1, Dec 12, 2013
