Looking back at your previous questions no one has related to you one of the rules here. If you want someone to answer your questions you need to make an attempt at it yourself first, or explain what it is that is troubling you. It helps to secure the idea that this is a teaching site and not a translations service. Your question is complicated enough that I give you the benefit of the doubt though.

And Btw, Fred? Starting a statement about rules with text speak seems contradictory. - LateToDinner, Jul 24, 2010

Fred, you have the right idea, but your translation is grammatically incorrect. Martha you need to un-accept this answer, please. - Gekkosan, Jul 24, 2010

I don't really consider btw to be chat speak, so I haven't ever bothered to selectively clear it out of my usage here on the site. Illegitimate acronyms are what I consider chat speak. But I suppose I will from now on. - Fredbong, Jul 24, 2010

Well done Fred ... may I suggest you make the correct answer bold? - LateToDinner, Jul 24, 2010

Not to confuse anyone seeing the vote on this, it was voted for the way Fred has gone out of his way to clarify for all. - LateToDinner, Jul 24, 2010

That's really nice, Fred! To me, this is what the Forum is al about: healping each other learn and have a good time! Kudos to you! - Gekkosan, Jul 25, 2010

Answer 2

Probably a good, a non-slang way to translate this would be: "no revivas tus experiencias de la secundaria"; or "no recuentes tus experiencias de la secundaria". More context would allow for a better translation.

Was it just that I messed up on the imperatives with negatives? ¡no me relates sus experiencias de colegio a mí! Better or worse? lol - Fredbong, Jul 24, 2010

Well, the thing is that as far as I can tell, the original does not specifically say do not rehash your experiences to ME. Just, "don't rehash them". So my option attempts to stay faithful to the impersonal mode of the original. - Gekkosan, Jul 25, 2010

Grammatically speaking, your translation is fine, by the way. - Gekkosan, Jul 25, 2010

Oh I see. Thanks Gekko ;) - Fredbong, Jul 26, 2010

Answer 3

Refrito = Rehashed

That's used in Spanish like our rehashed/revised etc - hope that helps.

Did you look this up or is it something you're familiar with yourself? This site's online dictionary only has it listed as a term used for food. - Fredbong, Jul 23, 2010

Yes, Fred, that's what the dictionary says, but Maria-Claire is right. It is a common slang word to mean rehashed. - Gekkosan, Jul 24, 2010

Gracias G - @ Fred - if in doubt give Google a shout lol - if you come across and phrase and want to know if it's commonly used pop it into Google, a miillion or so hits will put your mind at rest :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 25, 2010

Answer 4

Fred: From the RAE: refrito

Cosa rehecha o recompuesta, especialmente refundición de una obra dramática o de otro escrito.

Maria ... you're welcome!

:-) - Gekkosan, Jul 24, 2010

Thanks for that LateToDinner, I was just wondering where she got it from so I could find a new place to look things up (if it wasn't a personal experience case). The RAE is this something you can find online? - Fredbong, Jul 24, 2010

jaja thanx for that Late :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 25, 2010
