How do you say, "Make a chocolate cake and put it on the table," in español

Question

How do you say, "Make a chocolate cake and put it on the table," in español.

Following is a translation from the SpanishDict. Translator:

(haga un bizcocho de chocolate y puso en sobre la mesa)

Thank you!

Does anyone know what "haga un bizcocho de chocolate y puso en sobre la mesa" means? - Maria-Russell, Aug 17, 2010

It means "Make a chocolate cake and he put on over the table". Not quite correct. - KevinB, Aug 18, 2010

Answer 1

If I were talking to someone I knew I would say:

Haz una torta de chocolate y ponla en la mesa.

If I wanted to say it more formally I'd say:

Haga una torta de chocolate y pongala en la mesa.

You need imperatives for "make" and "put". The word for "cake" varies a lot from place to place.

Edit: I know we always suggest trying the automatic translators, but they're really not very good.

Edit 2: I used "en" instead of "encima de" because it means "on", rather than "on top of". Most people would assume you want the cake on the table, rather than inside the table.

Answer 2

Are you going to have a try yourself Maria? Then we can help It's not too hard, just typing it into the translator bar above will give you a good place to start.

I already did, see how it was translated above. - Maria-Russell, Aug 17, 2010

Somehow, this translation does not look accurate to me. - Maria-Russell, Aug 17, 2010

Well done, it wasn't there before lol perhaps we were typing at the same time, I only suggested it because even if the translator isn't great, it shows that you've had a go and then people are more likely to help :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 17, 2010
