how do you say "make up tardies"

Question

trying to translate a couple of phrases:

Tardies will be given if a student arrives after 5:50am, After 5 tardies, a make-up assignment will be needed

Answer 1

I know how to make a Tardis.

Can you send me the recipe? I'd like one, please. It would take up a lot of space in the dorm, but inside IT, there's plenty of space! - MacFadden, Aug 13, 2010

Hello, and welcome to the forum. This is a learning site and not a free translation service, so while we are happy to help you, we ask that you give the translation a try yourself. Then we'll provide corrections and suggestions for improvement. If you need help, use the dictionary at the top of the page or the free translators on the main page. When you finish, just post your attempt here or edit your question to include it.

I do have some advice, though. 'Tardy' cannot be used as a noun in Spanish, so I would try translating the phrase, "After coming late to class/being tardy five times..."

Also, please be aware that we appreciate proper capitalization and punctuation and such, so when you get a change, please edit your post a bit to reflect these standards. You'll get a badge in the process.

tardies (noun) isn't in my English dictionary either, (slang?) - 0074b507, Aug 13, 2010

Not slang exactly. I think it's just one of thoes things that is accepted in a school attendance context because it is so often used/convenient. It's not OED-worthy, I don't think. - MacFadden, Aug 13, 2010
