Answer 1

"Which one of us is going to be the fairy on the top?"

¿Quién de nosotros va a ser el hada en la parte superior? "

lol@the fairy! I would have thought that would be 'fairy'(very) obvious, Ian lol :) - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

Hola Feliz. - ian-hill, Dec 11, 2015

:D - Pablo064, Dec 11, 2015

I love to see , the fairy on the Christmas tree , but its a wonder she has a smile on her face , seeing the Star is in such a delicate Place :). - ray76, Dec 11, 2015

Answer 2

No importan las circunstancias, la vida trata de sostenerse y de llevar a cabo su destino, aunque el mundo le proporcione una situación en la que una vida normal o incluso adecuada es casi imposible.

The circumstances don’t matter, life tries to hold on and carry out its destiny, even when the world provides a situation in which a normal or even adequate life is almost impossible.

I wonder if you were trying to avoid the double 'incluso' good choice but from the point of view of a native eng speaker doesn't sound 'even' repetitive in the Eng too - Pablo064, Dec 11, 2015

Yes, I was trying avoid the incluso twice, but I think English speakers are more tolerant of repeated words than Spanish speakers. I never know. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 11, 2015

Answer 3

Charlie's tree was small and thin, he was sad, so his friends decorated the tree to cheer Charlie up. Than they sung Christmas carols around the small tree.

Charlie's árbol era pequeña y delgada estaba triste, por lo que sus amigos decoración el árbol para animar Charlie. Que cantan villancicos alrededor del árbol pequeño.

Feliz Navidad temprano todo el mundo

Nickel, El árbol de Charlie fue pequeño y delgado. Estaba triste por eso sus amigos decorarón el arbol para animarse . - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

Después, cantaron villancicos aldrededor el pequeño árbol. - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

Buen intento ,Nickel ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

I am not very good at Spanish but I gave it my best shot mate :) - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 10, 2015

Don't worry, Nickel, you tried your best! :) :):) - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

One easy thing to learn in Spanish is that native Spanish speakers never use apostrophes to indicate who owns/possesses something! They say el perro de Nickel = Nickel's dog (literally: the dog of Nicklel) I hope this helps! :) - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

"Sang," not "sung." - AnnRon, Dec 10, 2015

Thanks Feliz sorry I kept calling you Felix my auto correct kept changing it some times computers are annoying :) . - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 10, 2015

No worries, Nickel these things happen I use predictive text on my phone and it adds accents and changes things too unless I confirm each word ! - FELIZ77, Dec 10, 2015

some suggestion 'el árbol de Charlie era pequeño y delgado, él estaba triste..decoraron el..para animarLO (to him) or 'para animar a Charlie.... - Pablo064, Dec 11, 2015

I think it is 'then' so 'Entonces (ellos) cantaron.. ;) - Pablo064, Dec 11, 2015

Pablo, I initially suggested using the personal pronoun él (estaba triste) in this context for clarification but decided that it would be obvious that the word él must refer to Charlie and not to the tree, because trees don't have feelings like we do - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

as far as we know! ;) (except in stories like Lord of the Rings) - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

jajaj okay - Pablo064, Dec 12, 2015

I think they could have feelings too - Pablo064, Dec 12, 2015

Answer 8

Es muy interesante : un pequeño árbol de Navidad en el centro de un lugar dejado de la mano de Dios y unos juguetes.

It is very interesting: a small Christmas tree and some toys in the center of a place forsaken by God .

Suggestion: Put "and some toys" after "Christmas tree" to avoid the impression that the Christmas tree has been forsaken by God and the toys. - AnnRon, Dec 10, 2015
