Good morning amiga. - rac1, Sep 25, 2017

Good morning. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Sep 25, 2017

Hola Nick , gracias por esto.. - ray76, Sep 26, 2017

Hola Ray, you are most welcome kind sir. - Nickelbackfan1, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 1

Es la última vez que como elefante. Estaba tan bueno que no pude parar hasta terminarlo .

It's the last time I eat elephant. It was so good I couldn't stop til I finished it

Astotxua, we would say in English: It was so good, I couldn't stop 'til I finishED it! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2017

:D Excelente! - jrschenk, Sep 25, 2017

Thanks Feliz - 000a35ff, Sep 25, 2017

You are welcome, Astotxua :) By the way, the word 'til needs an apostrophe to show that it is an abbreviation and that letters are missing 'til is short for until :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2017

Adding to Feliz: " till " is also an acceptable alternative with no apostrophe needed. - jellonz, Sep 25, 2017

Muy bien :) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 2

Creo que este tigre vive en un Zoo, donde no tiene mucha oportunidad de hacer mucho ejercicio y así se ha engordado mucho.

I think this tiger lives in a zoo, where he does not have much opportunity to do a lot of exercise and thus he is very fat.

Si :) Se ha engordado mucho! - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Gracias Coffee - porcupine7, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 3

El primer plato era muy bueno. ¿Qué es para el postre?

The first course was very good. What's for pudding?

Can we use expressions? If so I would say "Qué hay de postre?" - caza, Sep 25, 2017

:) - jrschenk, Sep 25, 2017

I think you mean, "What's for dessert?" :-) - Echoline, Sep 25, 2017

Pudding is dessert in British English. This is correct: What's for pudding? ¿Qué hay de postre? - NKM1974, Sep 25, 2017

I didn't know that, NKM. So Brits say, "Pie is for pudding"? - AnnRon, Sep 25, 2017

@AnnRon, Pie baked in pastry is still pie. Have a look on the multiple meanings of pudding from this page. http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/pudding - NKM1974, Sep 25, 2017

We say "pudding" here in NZ too Ann, although in a restaurant it is always "dessert." - jellonz, Sep 25, 2017

Hola Caza ¿Qué hay de postre? es lo correcto :) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

I've opened a can of worms here! We (Brits) use pudding or dessert for "afters". Dessert would be more formal for example as mentioned previously in a restaurant, and pudding is commonly used at home and for children. - caza, Sep 26, 2017

I used pudding as I was talking about an animal and children and animals often go together. - caza, Sep 26, 2017

Strangely enough there is a Spanish desert known as "pudin" but I can't find the correct spelling. - caza, Sep 26, 2017

There's 2 versions with "í" accent: budín or pudín. - NKM1974, Sep 26, 2017

Thank you! I knew I wasn't dreaming. - caza, Sep 27, 2017

Answer 4

¡No debí haber comido tanto!
I should not have eaten so much!

Excelente :) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 5

No creo que las llamas a sentar bien conmigo.

I don't think llama agrees with me.

;) - jrschenk, Sep 25, 2017

Answer 6

El parque del tigre siberiano en Harbin decidió disminuir gastos y aumentar ingresos por medio de permitirles pagar a los visitantes por dar animales vivos a los tigres para comer. Parece que ha tenido éxito en más de una manera.

The Harbin Siberian Tiger Park decided to cut costs and increase revenues by means of allowing the visitors to pay to give live animals to the tigers to eat. It seems that it has had success in more than one way.

Just so no one doubts, My statement is based on reality. Animal welfare advocates are not particularly happy about the situation. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 25, 2017

Impecable Como siempre ;) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Gracias, Coffeelate. :) - bosquederoble, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 7

Pronto voy a tener a mis bebés.

Answer 8

¿Cómo se llama este gato? Parece zepelín. Le hace falta tirar un ‘peo”.

What’s this cat’s name? He looks like a zeppelin. He needs to fart.

Tal vez eso le alivie ;) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 9

Esta humana le dijo a su cachorro que yo o hubiera (había?) comiendo demasiado o estuviera (estaba?) embarazada. ¡Qué grosero! Humanos y su estigmatización constante de la obesidad—¡Hombre!

That human told her cub that either I had been eating too much or I was pregnant. How rude! Humans and their constant body shaming—Sheesh!

(Body shaming in Spanish anyone? I did the best I could.)

with corrections: Esta humana le dijo a su cachorro que yo o había estado comiendo demasiado o estaba embarazada. ¡Qué grosero! Humanos y su estigmatización constante de la obesidad—¡Hombre!

Google body shaming and click the wordreference site. This site is blocking me to post links. - NKM1974, Sep 25, 2017

Thanks, NKM. I already did that. I use that site a lot.The only relevant thread in their forum suggested "estimatización social"or preserving the English term. - AnnRon, Sep 26, 2017

...había estado comiendo demaciado...o estaba embarazada :) Everything else it's good! - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Muchas gracias, Coffeelate. - AnnRon, Oct 2, 2017

Answer 10

Obesity is not only a human issue, but also an animal problem. La obesidad no es solo una cuestión humana, sino también un problema animal.

:) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 11

Con una corrección:

El tigre está pensando: "¡A veces creo que tengo alergia a los lunes por la mañana! Me pregunto, ¿quizas podría volver a dormir y despertarme el sábado que viene porque siempre nos permiten levantarnos más tarde los fines de semana!"

A los lunes POR la mañana o a las mañanas DE los lunes - astotxua 1 hr ago

Mil.gracias por tu corrección, Astotxua

The tiger is thinking: "Sometimes, I think (that) I'm allergic to Monday mornings! I wonder ...perhaps I could go back to sleep and wake up next Saturday because we are always allowed to get up later at the weekend!

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Original caption (Spanish version only):

El tigre está pensando: "¡A veces creo que tengo alergia a los lunes de (por?) la mañana! Me pregunto, ¿quizas podría volver a dormir y despertarme el sábado que viene porque siempre nos permiten levantarnos más tarde los fines de semana!"

¡Muchas gracias por tu corrección, Astotxua :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2017

Answer 12

Cómo te sientes cuando finalmente terminas tu tarea de Español

How you feel when you finally finish your spanish homework

Welcome to SpanishDict and the thread. :) "Spanish" should be capitalized and you need a period at the end of your sentence. Good job though. :) - rac1, Sep 25, 2017

The word español is written all in lower case (small letters) but the English word 'Spanish' starts with a capital S! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2017

The name of the country starts with a capital E España :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2017

Answer 13

Nunca pregunta a una tigresa cuando dará a luz a menos que estés 100% seguro de que está embarazada.

Never ask a tigress when she is due unless you are 100% sure she is pregnant.

:) "Preguntes" - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017

I went with the command form Coffee. Should it not be used in this way? - jellonz, Sep 26, 2017

Answer 14

Pobrecito. Esta es por qué los animales salvajes encajó en la naturaleza no en un zoológico. Está foto me hace triste.

Poor thing. This is why wild animal belong in the wild not I a zoo. This picture makes me sad.

"Es por esto que...encajan"... :) - 00376109, Sep 26, 2017
