As a highly qualified fortune-teller, I can assure you that all the nuts you want to give me will bring you a lot of luck.

Corregid mi español, por favor :) - Issabela, Jan 8, 2010

Should I use the subjunctive? and "de que" instead of "que"?? - Issabela, Jan 8, 2010

Now I checked the phrase with a good translator, backwards and forwards, Spanish to English and English to Spanish... and got the same results! - Issabela, Jan 8, 2010

No tengo idea :( - Issabela, Jan 8, 2010

Bien hecho:):) nueces era femenino, claro;) lo demás: como adivina..., muy buena suerte - 00494d19, Jan 8, 2010

Even if I wanted "mucha" refer to suerte? Like "a lot of luck"? Thanks :)) - Issabela, Jan 8, 2010

"Como adivina" should be "Como soy adivina." Yes, you can also say, "Mucha suerte." - 005faa61, Jan 8, 2010

I don't know about the adivina, I found similar examples in a dictionary, "como maestra" (as a teacher...) - Issabela, Jan 9, 2010

Why the sad face? Does that mean I have every thing wrong? - gloriadean, Jan 8, 2010

You've used gustar incorrectly, but I can't figure out how to translate that part of the statement myself. I hope a native will enlighten us. - webdunce, Jan 9, 2010

Acto should be Actúa - webdunce, Jan 9, 2010

I'm playing with things like "¿Cómo a una ardilla le gustes?" but that just doesn't seem quite right, yet. - webdunce, Jan 9, 2010

Thanks webdunce, I'm in first grade :o) This one was hard for me. I better stick to the easier ones. I thought I got a sad face because my joke was not funny. hee hee. - gloriadean, Jan 9, 2010
