New Game - I M P

Question

There are many words in English with the prefix “Imp”.

Update - As pointed out by Estaban in the comments below "imp" is not a prefix. The prefix is only "IM"

I made a mistake.

The idea is to find one and write a sentence using it and translate it into Spanish.

Many of the Spanish words start with “Imp” too.

Example.

Negotiations have reached an impasse.

Las negociaciones han llegado a un callejón sin salida.

Easy right?

Fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge.

This thread has no official corrector so please correct where you can. Gracias.

The little imp...lol - rac1, Apr 13, 2014

A minor correction: the prefix is actually "im", not "imp". Actually, in my English dictionary, I couldn't find even one word that had "imp" as a prefix. But it's still a fun game, nonetheless. - Esteban3304, Apr 13, 2014

I found a whole list. - rac1, Apr 13, 2014

But in my example the "prefix" is only "im" amiga :) - ian-hill, Apr 13, 2014

I should not have called "imp" a prefix but rather "words that start with imp". - ian-hill, Apr 14, 2014

I once had a nice sports car for sale in an online automotive website. One "rich" gentleman in England had an "assistant" write me with some excuse regarding how the rich man "just had to send me" more money than I was asking for regarding the price. - Esteban3304, Apr 13, 2014
