A diferencia de la mayoría de las mujeres, no me gusta ir a ver escaparates.

Unlike most women, I do not like to "window" shop.

I added this because, not only is it true, but I was curious if this phrase is used by Spanish speaking people).

Window shopping- to gaze in store windows with no real intention of purchasing anything. It also means to go to any store (with or without the windows) and "just look".

Window-shopping = ir a ver escaparates - --Mariana--, MAR 17, 2010
Thanks Marianne. It almost looks like the word "escape". Does this convey the meaning of "store windows"? - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
I just looked it up and it does. Thanks for the new vocab word! - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
In Argentina: "salir a mirar vidrieras"... I H A T E I T !!!!!!! Nicole! I can't believe you don't like it either. Most women just love it! - Benz, MAR 17, 2010
If you don't have the money to buy something, why waste your time looking at all of the things you can't have? - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
So Benz, which version would be correct? Are they both acceptable? - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
Window shopping is no fun! If I can't buy anything I won't bother to look at them either. - chicasabrosa, MAR 17, 2010
I've got a whole garage full of windows - not. :) - ian-hill, MAR 17, 2010
"ir a ver escaparates" is not heard in Argentina, but it's understandable :) - Benz, MAR 17, 2010
Gracias Benz. - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010

just for you - Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a2" means "a squared", which is the same as "a" times "a". - ian-hill, MAR 17, 2010

No me gusta esperar a las personas que llegan tarde a las reuniones. (I hope I got that right, but what I meant is that I don't like waiting for people who show up late on dates/meetings.)

Rikko - don't come to South America - it would drive you mad :) - ian-hill, MAR 17, 2010
Really? You might get into trouble with all the South Americans here for stereotyping them. ;-)))) - Rikko, MAR 17, 2010

Odio hablar con la gente egoísta.

I hate speaking with self-centered people.

Oops, sorry Ian. I was supposed to discuss what I don't like doing, but moved quickly into what I "hate" doing. wink

I also "don't like" speaking with self-centered people as well. LOL

No problem Nicole - I hate people who don't read the instructions properly :) - ian-hill, MAR 17, 2010
I hope that is just your fabulous British humor Ian! I really don't want you to hate me! jeje - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
jajaja... he's always kind of ironic... there are many in this forum... but he's a nice guy, I'm sure... - Benz, MAR 17, 2010
Wherever you are Nicole... you're my twin... I hate big egos too!! :) - Benz, MAR 17, 2010
I know Ian was just kidding. He is a great guy! - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
Benz, hopefully, all of the self-centered people are out window shopping so we can avoid them altogether! - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
I think the translation for self-centered people is "gente egocentrica", "egoista" is selfish... - Doriz, MAR 17, 2010
Doriz is right!!! egocéntrico is the word... and yes, hopefully we won't have the "pleasure" to run into them!!! jajaja - Benz, MAR 17, 2010
Gracias Doriz. I will change it. - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
But it is interesting that self-centered people are ALWAYS selfish as well. - Nicole-B, MAR 17, 2010
