Answer 5

Giraffe: Who does that idiot think he is fooling?

La Jirafa: ¿A quién cree ese imbécil que está engañando?

I had a lot of trouble with this sentence.

I feel your pain, amigo, it seems I struggle on the simplest sentences. ;) - jrschenk, Nov 7, 2015

Gringo, I found a very similar sentence in my Oxford Spanish Dictionary: ¿A quién te crees que estás engañando? I think your sentence is therefore correct ! ;) - FELIZ77, Nov 7, 2015

I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Nov 7, 2015

Gring, You have my sympathy, a ' se' or no 'se' ? Uno se cree but giraffes, who knows? - annierats, Nov 7, 2015

:) - Pablo064, Nov 7, 2015

Answer 6

Oye, ya que voy a jugar un actuar de hipopótamo en la película, pensé que iba a en tratar de ver el mundo a través de los ojos de un hipopótamo, pero tengo que decirte, me pareció una mejor idea sobre el papel que en la realidad.

Hey, since I am going to play a hippo in the movie, I thought I would try looking at the world through the eyes of a hippo, but I have to tell you, it seemed like a better idea on paper than in reality.

..ya que voy a actuar de hipo...pensé en tratar de ver.. :) - Pablo064, Nov 7, 2015

Gracias, Pablo. ;) - jrschenk, Nov 8, 2015

Answer 7

The man looking out of the model rhino: "This is our new observation tool for studying the behaviour of animals in their natural habitat. We hope that the rhinos will not venture (approach) too closely, for they will probably notice that our rhino is not real and if they (were to) chase us we 'wouldn't have a leg to stand on" lol

El hombre que está mirando por el modelo de rinoceronte: << Esta es nuestra nueva herramienta de observación para estudiar el comportamiento* de los animales en su hábitat natural. Esperemos que los rinocerontes no se acerquen muy cerca porque es probable que noten que nuestro rinoceronte no es real (o verdadero); ¡y si nos persiguieran, llevaríamos todas las de perder! >>

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Editor's note/s:: I found the expression for " not to have a leg to stand on" (colloq/idiom) = llevar todas las de perder I found this difficult to translate because I had to do it in the past subjunctive ie; if they were to chase us, we would not have a leg to stand on! (We would not have much chance of survival! lol)

:) - Dogboy1000, Nov 7, 2015

..nos persiguen.. but as you did it is okay too :) - Pablo064, Nov 7, 2015

Thank you very much, Pablo :) - FELIZ77, Nov 7, 2015

Answer 8

Pensaron que eras tan inteligente cuando se diseñó esta cosa, pero hay una cosa que se les olvidó. No hay instalaciones de aseo.

You guys thought you were so clever when you designed this thing, but there's one thing you forgot. No toilet facilities.

..cosa que se les olvidó.. jajaja good one - Pablo064, Nov 7, 2015

No entiendo. Doesn't the verb in the second clause have to agree with the noun in the first clause (you guys)? I guess I still don't "get" the reflexive use of "olvidar." Back to the books. - AnnRon, Nov 7, 2015

Having thought it over, I see the correction version of my second clause translating into English as something like "but there's one thing that forgot itself on them," in which case the corrections make sense to me. Am I on the right track now, Pabo? - AnnRon, Nov 8, 2015

That would be "corrected version," not "correction version." Apparently I can't think and type at the same time. It's a real handicap. :>) - AnnRon, Nov 8, 2015

Pablo, not Pabo. Blush. - AnnRon, Nov 8, 2015

pablo sounds like 'pavo' but it is how my little nephew call me since it's hard for kids to pronounce 'blo' - Pablo064, Nov 8, 2015

pavo is turkey but it more common hear it as 'tonto' (silly) 'sos un pavo'... 'que se les olvidó a ustedes' if it makes more sense to you but you can also say 'sola cosa que olvidaron' and you can use 'le' if you wanna sound like someone from Paraguay :) - Pablo064, Nov 8, 2015

*'eres' un pavo - Pablo064, Nov 8, 2015

Answer 9

Después de toda la fama por su caballo, los troyanos decidieron que tenían que intentarlo con otro animal si iban a sorprender a alguien.

After all the fame from their horse, the Trojans decided that they would have to try with another animal if they were going to surprise someone.

:) - Pablo064, Nov 7, 2015

I love it hahahaha :) - FELIZ77, Nov 7, 2015

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 7, 2015

Whoa, I didn't see yours before I put mine up. But mine stays anyway! ♥ - Daniela2041, Nov 8, 2015
