Answer 1

Please try to translate it yourself first. There may be idioms for this, but if there are we aren't supposed to provide them to you unless you make a first attempt.

I'll help you out. Pensar is the infinitive of the verb "to think," there are two ways of saying it, one using a gerund, and one using the imperfect past tense.

Good luck, even a bad attempt is good enough.

De hecho, now I've confused myself, I'll have to make my own thread because now I have a question, hehe. - Fredbong, Sep 7, 2009

¡¡Pero en qué estaría pensando!!

Esto es lo que diríamos en España.

What do you say when you did it because you weren't thinking? (beyond I suppose that we have to get married now or I'll never drink that much again) - 0074b507, Sep 8, 2009

Answer 3

¿Qué estaba pensando? - I think this is the correct answer, but there are others more qualified than me to answer this.

If you are new to using this site, I just wanted to let you know that it is possible to look up the translation of words and phrases on your own, using the dictionary and translator features.
