Answer 1

El que ríe el último, ríe mejor.. ¡cuidado!

He who laughs last ,laughs the best ,watch out!

The actual saying in Spanish is: El que ríe al último, ríe mejor... he who laughs last, laughs better - Tonyriva, Oct 22, 2010

Thank you so much Tonyriva, that is just as good and one may as well stay with the strenghth. - ray76, Oct 22, 2010

el último - 00494d19, Oct 22, 2010

In Spanish from Mexico "al último"... In Spanish from Spain "el último" - Tonyriva, Oct 22, 2010

From Mejico to Spain and down to Australia it is "el" ,well now it is . Thanks guys,sorry I was late. - ray76, Oct 22, 2010

quizá debería ser... el que ríe al último... no entendió el chiste, jaja... please... don't write Mejico, even though it's accepted by the RAE, we... mexicans do not like it, it's Mexico in Spanish and in English - Tonyriva, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 2

Entonces me quedé atrapado en el árbol, no es tan gracioso.

So I was stuck in the tree, it is not that funny.

Entonces me quedé atrapado en el árbol - Tonyriva, Oct 22, 2010

Gracias Tony. :) - Nicole-B, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 3

Jejeje, acabo de decirle a mi gemelo crédulo que es adoptado.

Jejeje, acabo de decirle al crédulo de mi gemelo que es adoptado.

Hehehe, I just told my gullible twin that he's adopted.

(Showing both corrections as I am not sure which one to follow.)

Good one, Rikko! - sanlee, Oct 22, 2010

*decirle a mi gemelo :D - LoaEtayo, Oct 22, 2010

"acabo de decirle al crédulo de mi gemelo". "a mi gemelo crédulo" sounds very weird, it's like you have a variety of them and gave nicknames to each to tell them apart. "Crédulo gemelo" wouldn't sound natural either. - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Thank you both, LoaEtayo and Billstpor. - Rikko, Oct 22, 2010

We were mentioning different things. She was talking about the lack of pronoun/preposition, and I was talking about something else, the use of the adjective. - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

ejej, qué malo rkko - 00494d19, Oct 22, 2010

Billstpor, what I am not clear about in your first comment is when you said "it's like you have a variety of them". Since I said "gemelo", there could only be two, i.e., the "speaker" and the other, and not a variety of them. In that case... - Rikko, Oct 22, 2010

... would the "a mi gemelo crédulo" still not be appropriate? - Rikko, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 4

Siempre se pone así cuando se mete mucha hierba gatera.

He's always like this when he has too much catnip.

Siempre se pone así cuando se mete mucha hierba gatera - Tonyriva, Oct 22, 2010

Wow - that was nothing like my attempt :-S - sheila-foster, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 5

Oh my God...stop....stop....I'm gonna pee myself!

¡Ay Dios mio! ...para...para...voy hacer pis¡

lol :) - FELIZ77, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 6

¿Es que verdaderamente piensas que puedes aprender español? Ha Ha!

And you really think you can learn Spanish? Ha Ha !

This one is a bit tricky. Subjunctive isn't totally out of the question, but in this **interrogative** (although ironic) sentence, the right mood is indicative "puedes", to suggest that for the listener it doesn't look like a possibility, but a fact. - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

If there were a followup, but not an interrogative sentence, then it would be in subjunctive mood: "No creo que puedas aprender español". - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Funny :) hahaha - FELIZ77, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 7

If this cat could fly he would choke all the birds in the sky.

Si este gato pudiera volar ahogaría a todas las aves en el cielo.

Si este gato pudiera volar ahogaría a todas las aves en el cielo - Tonyriva, Oct 22, 2010

Thanks so much, Tony:) - Brynleigh, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 8

¡No hay duda, soy más bonita que ella!

No doubt, I am prettier than her!

please correct my sentence if it has any errors, gracias - 009ee30f, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 9

Él no se ríe mucho tiempo!

He won't be laughing long!

Every time you put a redundant subject pronoun a kitten dies :) And the tense is a bit off here: "¡No se reirá por mucho tiempo!" - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 10

¡Demasiado vermú en mi martini!

Too much vermouth in my martini!

Answer 11

...entonces...jejeje...el ratón dijo "¡boo!"...jejeje..y esto gato valiente corrió a la caja de arena..JEJEJE

...then...hahaha...the mouse said "Boo!"...hahaha... and this brave cat ran to the litter box...HAHAHA

(I used the imperfect...telling a story...correct?)

"el ratón dijo" "este valiente gato corrió". I can't explain in a single line the difference, but it has to do more with how clearly defined or diffuse is the action in the timeline. In this case, "said" and "ran" are clearly limited in the time line. - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Thanks again. Just when I think I understand it...!?! - DR1960, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 12

Sister cat, laughing "My brother just told me he could charm all the birds out of the trees ! So I said to him you wouldn't know what to do with them when you caught them !"

La hermana gato riendo "Mi hermano me dijo que es capaz de convencer a los pájaros para que salgan de sus árboles. ! jajajaja í Por eso, le dijo: no vas a saber qué hacer con ellos cuando les atrapes! jajajajajajaja!"

Corregid mi español por favor

'La hermana gata, riendo:' , 'de convencer a los pájaros para que salgan de sus árboles' ' Por eso le dije: no vas a saber qué hacer con ellos cuando los atrapes' - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 13

Aw, come on, Jack! you promised not to tell Mom!

¡Oh, vamos, Jack! Usted prometió no decirle a mamá!

"usted" is redundant, so in this case it sounds bad. And "decirle" is lacking a direct object. It's either: ¡Prometió no decírselo a mamá! or "¡Prometió no decirle nada a mamá!" - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 14

A pesar de que llevamos el mismo abrigo, yo lo llevo con más estilo.

Even though we wear the same coat, I wear mine with greater style.

"yo lo llevo con más estilo" or "a mí me luce más" or "a mí me sienta mejor". Subject pronoun in the first version to put emphasis in 'I' - bill1111, Oct 22, 2010

Answer 15

I'm imitating a Siamese cat

Estoy imitando a un gato siamés
