Answer 2

Yo cuando me voy de vacaciones, siempre pierdo el norte. w

When I go on vacation, I always lose my sense of direction.

correct me, please . - melipiru, ENE 20, 2010

Saca el "I'm" :) También es mejor no usar "the north" sino solamente "north" sin artículo - 003487d6, ENE 20, 2010

I'm confused: how do you lose North? What does that mean? - Lasairfiona, ENE 20, 2010

I think your trying to say " lose my direction " or something similiar to that... - hlsbookworm, ENE 20, 2010

hisbookworm: your -> you're :) - Lasairfiona, ENE 20, 2010

So "to lose north" is to "get lost"? Maybe it is more in the spirit of the photo to say "I get so lost that I can't tell up from down". - Lasairfiona, ENE 20, 2010

"I always lose my sense of direction" -- ¡gracias por el modismo nuevo! - kattya, ENE 20, 2010

thanks lasairfiona, and yes, I think she is trying to say something similiar to what you said kattya - hlsbookworm, ENE 20, 2010

"I always lose north=Become somethig crazy on occasion" - melipiru, ENE 20, 2010

thanks Dandi - melipiru, ENE 20, 2010

That's a good expression you have included. It's probably like ''to go out of one's mind'' - saulele, ENE 20, 2010

Another fun one: topsy turvy. Kinda like upside down but a little more crazy. - Lasairfiona, ENE 20, 2010

Answer 4

Como nota más alegre... El terremoto en Haití hizo que fuera más fácil dar saltos mortales durante un minuto más o menos.

On the lighter side... The earthquake in Haiti did make it easier to do somersaults for about a minute or so.

I'd like to add that no offense was meant. I got an email yesterday from friends living near PAP Haiti. They are grieving the loss of quite a few. But their letter was also mixed with humorous 'on the lighter side' anecdotes. Humor helps healing. :-) - chaparrito, ENE 20, 2010

omg....jejeje, great and correct. - 00494d19, ENE 21, 2010

Answer 10

Dicen que esta es la mejor forma de enseñar el trasero al sol.

They say that this is the best way to 'moon' the sun.

The double entendre works in English but not so well in Spanish. *moon* - *enseñar el culo* - Izanoni1, ENE 20, 2010

Thanks Izanoni~~is there a better word than 'culo' that I can use (i.e. behind, bottom, etc) and still make the point or is "enseñar el culo" the more common & understood phrase of the language? Thx for your help! - Dee914, ENE 20, 2010

I think I found one~~~el trasero~~~??? - Dee914, ENE 20, 2010

"Boy" is not used that way in Spanish. Try "!Vaya!" or "¡Caramba!" :) - kattya, ENE 20, 2010

kattya, I know 'Caramba' but what is 'Vaya''? - Yeser007, ENE 20, 2010

My teacher uses Vaya as Wow. - Lasairfiona, ENE 20, 2010

Answer 14

Mirando abaja a realidad y gravedad.

Looking down at reality and gravity.

Please correct any mistakes, I was unsure of whether I should use LA realidad and LA gravedad, but wouldn't that be the eqvivalent of the reality and the gravity? - ThereseM, ENE 20, 2010

I think it would be: 'Mirando hacia abajo a la realidad y la gravedad.' Nice idea! :-) - chaparrito, ENE 20, 2010
