Answer 5

Ay, como suda mi papi. (En voz alta)

Tener a tu papá es casi lo mismo de conveniencía que tener un perro. Siempre hay a quien echar la culpa.

Oh, how my daddy sweats. (Aloud)

Having your father is almost the same convenience as having a dog. There is always someone to blame.

Answer 6

¡Mira mamá! ¡Esto es lo que puede ocurrir si alguien me grita!

---

Look Mom! This is what can happen if I get yelled at!

"cuando me gritan" or "si alguien me grita" - Mokay, ENE 30, 2010

Thanks Mokay! I made the change. - Rolest, ENE 30, 2010

err, you deleted the verb ocurrir. "Esto es lo que puede ocurrir si alguien me grita!" - Mokay, ENE 30, 2010

oops! - Rolest, ENE 30, 2010

Answer 9

Yo recomiendo que ande más y coma celulosa.

I recommend that he walk more and eat cellulose.

Is good the use of subjunctive?

Yes - you could also say: I recommend that he should walk (...), but your sentence is also correct. - Issabela, ENE 30, 2010

Only the question: Is the use of subjunctive correct? - Issabela, ENE 30, 2010

Cellulose? Do you mean like 'fiber'? - chaparrito, ENE 30, 2010

Not fiber,diaper material - melipiru, ENE 30, 2010

:-D Got it! But in English it is very unlikely that anyone would think of that seeing the word 'cellulose'. Maybe just say 'eat diaper padding', or 'eat diapers'? - chaparrito, ENE 30, 2010

Answer 12

¡No me hagas enojar otra vez, Papá!

Don't make me angry again, Daddy!

hagas enojar - Mokay, ENE 30, 2010

Answer 13

¡No,no,no, es papá, haceel sudar como un cerdo! No, no, no, it's daddy, he sweats like a pig!

It's funny that in some languages (in my native as well) you can say that someone sweats like a pig, while pigs do not sweat at all (they have no sweat glands)! In order to cool themselves, they "bathe" in mud

Well I was wondering about that saying. Is it possible that whoever coined the phrase meant to say "He sweats thus he smells like a pig"? - Yeser007, ENE 30, 2010

While we're on the subject, how is it said in Polish? - Yeser007, ENE 30, 2010

Es verdad Isaabela. Se dice "sudar como un cerdo" o "Transpirar como un chancho", siendo el último más común en Argentina - Benz, ENE 30, 2010

I think it's just an example of a silly country saying. There are hundreds of such sayings in the US. I have also heard 'sweating like a dog', but neither do dogs sweat! And an unrelated one is: "That fits like socks on a rooster!" :-) - chaparrito, ENE 30, 2010

Answer 14

Luego voy a tirar las orejas. Next I am going to pull his ears.

le voy a tirar de - 00494d19, ENE 30, 2010

Answer 15

¿Usted piensa que esto es malo? ¡Adivine lo que hago ahora!

You think this is bad? Guess what I'm doing now!

Correct me please.

A day late and a doller short I guess. ;-) - 00d7cd75, ENE 31, 2010
