Answer 1

Los platos tendrán que esperar.

The dishes have to wait.

"tienen que esperar". However it is more common to use other tenses: "Los platos tendrán que esperar" or "Los platos van a tener que esperar". - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 2

La madre de Alfredo es un poco tacaña.

Para ahorrar dinero lava los platos y a su hijo al mismo tiempo.

---

Alfredo’s mother is a little cheap.

To save money, she washes the dishes and her son at the same time.

"es un poco tacaña. Para ahorrar dinero lava los platos y a su hijo al mismo tiempo". The second part of the sentence is not a subordinate clause, so it doesn't need the conjunction. - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Gracias Billstpor...again, again! - Rolest, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 3

¡No me preguntes! el baño estaba lleno de platos.

Thank you bill. - ray76, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 4

Está más seguro aquí que en la piscina

It's safer here than in the pool

Answer 5

Si hubieras reparado el lavavajillas, no tendría que lavar los platos de esta manera.

If you mended the dishwasher, I wouldn't have to do the washing up like this.

"Si hubieras reparado el lavavajillas, no tendría que lavar los platos de esta manera" - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

you can also say "Si reparases el lavavajillas,.. " - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

:) Thank you - I'm very out of practice on this :) - sheila-foster, Oct 23, 2010

¡Hola, Sheila! It's great to see you! - sanlee, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 6

Splish, splash, I want to take a bath in private.Bath Song - not for the faint of heart)

Plas. Plas, quiero tomar un baño en privado.

You wouldn't say "salpicadura, salpicadura" here. It sounds worse than "splattering, splattering". You are not using a noun here, but an onomatopoeia. - lazarus1907, Oct 23, 2010

Thanks, any suggestions as to what word would work here? There is nothing in the dictionary. :) - Brynleigh, Oct 23, 2010

"plas, plas" is the only thing that comes to mind, but that is also used as an onomatopoeia of clapping. - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

thanks, I also found plas in a children's reader and so I guess it works :) - Brynleigh, Oct 23, 2010

Interesting song, Brynleigh..... - sanlee, Oct 23, 2010

jeje, my friend's little boy who is two, just loves it! - Brynleigh, Oct 24, 2010

Answer 7

Disfrute de esta - no puedo hacer esto para siempre!

Enjoy this - I can't do this forever!

I might be wrong here, but I don't think that even in latin america they would address a baby as "usted". I'd say: "Disfruta de esto: no podré hacer esto siempre" - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Thank you Billstpor. I actually meant this to be in reverse...I meant for it to be the baby talking to its parents - he is telling them to enjoy bathing him in the sink, because he won't be able to fit in the sink forever... - 001a2987, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 8

¡Eso sí, no de drenaje del fregadero, me va a tapar el tubo!

Just don't drain the sink, I will clog the pipe!

I don't think I understand the English sentence. If it was a typo and you meant "it will clog..", then I'd say: ¡Eso sí, no vacíes el fregadero que me vas a atascar la cañería! - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 9

Ahora sé qué pasa cuando se juega con la comida...

Now I know what happens when you play with the food...

Grammar is ok, but "sé lo que pasa" is more common. - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Answer 10

¡Hola amigo! ¿Atención a compartir su patito de goma conmigo?

Hey buddy! Care to share your rubber ducky with me?

¡Hola amigo! ¿Te importaría compartir tu patito de goma conmigo? - bill1111, Oct 23, 2010

Hola, Wansell . Please correct your sentence. Thanks - sanlee, Nov 22, 2010
