Answer 1

¡Oye, hombre! Hay algo raro que está creciendo del techo. ¿Qué es y cómo se lo quita?

Hey man! There is something strange growing from the ceiling. What is it and how do you get rid of it?

Often "cuál" is used before ser with questions. In this case, however, I believe "qué" is correct because it is like asking for a definition.

I don't know, but get a picture of it! :) - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

se quita. in this case we would be more colloquial: oye, tío, ...está colgando del techo. - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Thanks Heidita. - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 2

Sing us a song, you're the noodle man.

Cántanos una canción, tú eres el hombre de los fideos

Cántanos una canción, tú eres el hombre de los espaguetis.

Amber, very cute and creative. Although I can tell you're thinking about Billy Joel again. :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

ahaha, when I first looked at the picture I sang in my head .... Noodle man, don't worry, take your tiime, don't hurry, Noodle man, the wooooorld is at your command....He's a real noodle man ... etc ;) - billygoat, Jul 31, 2017

el hombre de los fideos...even though these are spaguetis...so it is espaguetis or simply pasta. - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

What a dumb mistake...Thank you, Heidi. :) - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

Instead of fideos? - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

That one is perfect, Billy. jejeje - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

Answer 3

¡Tuve un sueño más guay anoche, estaba lloviendo, los espaguetis Y los hombres guapos!

I had the coolest dream last night....it was raining spaghetti AND handsome men!

I like your dream, well, part of it. jejejeje - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

Which part....the noodles or the guys? - Echoline, Jul 31, 2017

lloviendo espaguetis y hombres guapos :) - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Thank you for the correction. Sometimes when I dont put in the article it needs to be there and other times I put it in and it shouldnt be there. I have no idea how to tell the difference. - Echoline, Aug 1, 2017

Not the noodles. jeje - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

¡Es el Monstruo Volador Espagueti!

rAmen. - jtaniel, Jul 31, 2017

:) - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Heidita: you didn't say this time if my correction was necessary. If it is, could you say so. I think the contestant will assume it isn't if you don't do so....maybe that's what you meant with your smile. ? - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 5

"Are you sure that you dropped your cap in here?"

-¿Estás seguro de que has dejado caer la gorra aquí?

Or pet snake, good one mate. - ray76, Jul 31, 2017

Ian: have a vote. I think you should say: ¿Estás seguro de que.... - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Yes, and I added the "surplus to requirements" that to the English as well. :) - ian-hill, Jul 31, 2017

I noticed that :) I like the phrase "surplus to requirements" It sounds so much more sophisticated than optional. :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Yes, it does. I agree with you about that phrase, Dilken. That's our Ian!! - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

:) - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 6

It's haircut day here on Sesame Street.
Es el día del corte de pelo aquí en Plaza Sesamo.

Tantos fideos serán suficientes para toda la aldea en este año.

So many noodles will be enough for the whole village this year.

Si no terminamos esto pronto, seremos nosotros los que están vamos a estar con el agua hasta el al cuello.

If we don't finish this soon, it will be us that are in hot water.

:-) - Echoline, Jul 31, 2017

jejejeje - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

los que vamos a estar con el agua al cuello. even though the pun doesn't really work, bosque - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

I thought it might not, but it was closer than "we have to use our noodles" where all I could come up with was cocos or calabazas. Thanks, Heidita. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 9

Don Fideo Pastagiglio es el supervisor en el almacén en donde se guardan los espaguetis cosechados en la frontera Suizo-Italo. Si le interesa a usted, puede ver la cosecha misma en el enlace siguiente: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXvou6RcWzM

Don Fideo Pastagiglio is the supervisor in the warehouse where spaghettai harvested on the Swiss-Italian border are stored. If you are interested, you may see the actual spaghetti harvest at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXvou6RcWzM

Thanks, Don! :) - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

entre Suecia e Italia - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 10

The noodles are prepared to be sold to consumers. La pasta se prepara para venderla a los consumidores.

NKM. preparadoS :) vender may be OK. I would have written venderlos. (sell them) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Looking at the dictionary entry for vender, I'm fairly convinced that you should include the los. This verb is normally transitive (requiring a direct object) and I don't think Los fideos can become the direct object by implication in Spanish. - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

I hope without any added substances, like hair. jejeje I know, my bad. :) - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

la pasta se prepara para venderla a los .. - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Gracias tanto por las correcciones. - NKM1974, Jul 31, 2017

It's alright Ken, the other fella is the back-up counter :) - jellonz, Jul 31, 2017

J: fraid not, I messed him up when I started counting backwards from one hundred. :( - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

In Spanish :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

:) - jellonz, Jul 31, 2017

jeje, and counting...lol - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Lol Heidi. - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

Answer 12

Mira, dije que están creciendo fideos en los árboles.

See ,I said they are growing noodles on trees.

:) - ian-hill, Jul 31, 2017

If we can grow a noodle, we can grow some cash. jeje - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

I was going to bring up the noodle and tree thing. :) - Sassette, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 13

Eso no es nada. Espera hasta que veas ¡el tamaño de su wok!

That's nothing. Just wait until you see the size of his wok!

Sorry, yes, my mistake! - billygoat, Jul 31, 2017

Billy: No hay problema. Que tengas un buen día. - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

cheers , you too :) - billygoat, Jul 31, 2017

Lol!! ¡¡Genial!! - rac1, Jul 31, 2017

:) - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Muchas gracias Heidita! - billygoat, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 14

Los cientificos ahora pueden crecer el pelo artificial que, por una coincidencia divertida, tiene el color y el grosor de cabello de ángel pasta.

Scientists can now grow artificial hair which, by an amusing coincidence, has the color and thickness of angel hair pasta.

At least they're making progress, but few would go for the pasta look. lol - Sassette, Aug 1, 2017

The scientists recommend a basil-and-tomato-based conditioner :) - mattb1of6, Aug 1, 2017

Lol You are so funny. :) - rac1, Aug 1, 2017

Thanks for your support ;) - mattb1of6, Aug 1, 2017

lol with the conditioner. You put thought into this! - Sassette, Aug 1, 2017

Answer 15

Digo yo que ellos bombeen el sitio con una ojiva de queso.

I say they bomb the place with a cheese warhead.

Thanks for the corrections, DilKen!

Sassette. There are two words which are very popular in Spanish...que and de. I think you need one of each in your sentence. Let's see if you can figure out where :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

wow, ken, this is amazing...I had no idea what sas meant....you understood her right there and then. wow, that is really something else. and you are right, actually, with que and de the problem will be solved, wonderful - 006595c6, Jul 31, 2017

Heidita: It's probably because the English is perfect without that and of and I've made the same mistake many times. :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Sassette, since Heidita didn't give you the actual placement of the que and de I will if you give up. Just say uncle :) - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

Sassette: this is one case where I think using "yo" would actually be a nice touch, and I would prefer it after Digo instead of before in this case in the Spanish. - DilKen, Jul 31, 2017

I won't cry "UUUUUncle" yet. I'll look at it now. :) - Sassette, Aug 1, 2017

Perfecto - DilKen, Aug 1, 2017

I share the omission of "que / de" issue Sassy. My trick with is to include them whenever "that / of" can be squeezed into the English. More often than not it works. - jellonz, Aug 1, 2017

What nuance does placing the subject pronoun after the verb create Ken? - jellonz, Aug 1, 2017

Jellonz: It isn't very common, but it is sort of like underlining and bolding the I at the beginning of the sentence in English. Or when speaking, saying I louder and longer before continuing with the rest of the sentence. - DilKen, Aug 1, 2017

Good to know. Thanks Ken. - jellonz, Aug 1, 2017

Thanks jellonz and Ken! I assumed that was the case with yo being an emphasis, not that it's required. It fits here. :) - Sassette, Aug 1, 2017
