I believe the correct translation would be "no puedo descansar."

"Peder" is to be able to. If we conjugate to fit "I" it will be "Puedo," right? Obviously, to make it negative we must add the "no" before it.

"Descansar" is to rest. Notice how this is not a conjugated verb; thus, used in its infinitive state. That's because we have already established the predicate verb... "Descansar" is the direct object... or indirect object or something like that.

I think that you meant poder; not peder. Poder is an auxilary verb. Descansar is the main verb, not a d.o.. - 0074b507, Mar 20, 2010
Thank you for the correction. Poder is what I meant, and the main verb... sure sure I'll take your word. haha - nrdyAWSM, Mar 20, 2010
