Answer 3

Would you like to join me in my morning yoga and stretching exercises before I go for a dip?

¿Te gustaría acomparme en mis ejercicios matinales de estiramiento antes de ir a darme un chapuzón?

"que me acompañen" means "that they join me". Also, when you translate something like "my A and B (something)" you can't say "mi A y B de (cosa)". It's "mi (algo) de A y B". Finally, "ir para mi inmersión" sounds plain awkward :) - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

"¿Te gustaría acompañarme en mis ejercicios matinales de estiramiento y yoga, antes de ir a darme un chapuzón? - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Bill, thanks for the help. If I make mistakes every day, I learn every day. - JoyceM, Nov 11, 2010

Hm.. no, it's not "te gustaría que acompañarme", but "te gustaría acomparme". You are mixing it up with the expressions used for other persons, like: "¿Te gustaría que te acompañe?". In second person it's: "¿Te gustaría acompañarme?", without 'que' - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Thanks! - JoyceM, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 4

¿Calentamiento global? ¿Cuál es el problema?

Global warming? What's the problem?

cuál es el problema - 00494d19, Nov 11, 2010

Gracias Heidita. I'll go and do some revision on cuál vs qué later, plus I'll beat myself soundly for "LA problema" ;-) - Richard-Thomas, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 5

ahora sólo necesito un oso-kini.

Now I only need a bear-kini.

It sounds more idiomatic to put 'ahora' at the beginning of the sentence: "Ahora solo .." - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Done Bill - thanks, - ian-hill, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 6

....and this little piggy when to market.....

....y este cerdito fue al mercado....

Good one Marianne! I could bear....ly stop laughing! - 002262dd, Nov 11, 2010

'went' :> - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 7

It is cold in the Arctic. I could bear it no longer.

Hace frío en el Ártico. No pude aguantarlo más.

Ártico, no pude aguantarlo más. - 00494d19, Nov 11, 2010

'Arctic' (by the way, wouldn't it be more appropriate to say 'in the Arctic'?) . Also 'frío', with 'tilde'. And being a little picky, 'podía' sounds better than 'pude'. - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Yeah ! that is what i need to know , maybe it is not used ?? the "A" i mean. - ray76, Nov 11, 2010

Bill, I had "podia" first but Heidita suggested "pude" - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

No worries, both are ok I guess. - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

My computer will not let me put the tilde on the "A" - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

Try putting on the cap-lock then do it the way you normaly do. ´A, see it works, I only just found that out after your question, it just came to me ,and I have been trying for 9 months. - ray76, Nov 11, 2010

Just one thing: it's only spelled "Arctic" with that extra 'c' in English. In Spanish it's 'Ártico' - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Wha, I still cannot get the tilde to stick. - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

I have the code and it still will not stick. I am going now to stick my head in the oven. jajaja - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

Oh, thank you so very much, Heidita for coming to my rescue! It is a good thing I did not turn the oven on. lol - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

It is probably just an internet rumor, but I have heard that the sticking-your-head-in-the-oven method is one of the most difficult ways for inserting the tildes. - webdunce, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 8

Relajándose en la playa.

Relaxing at the beach.

¡Vaya, qué rocosa playa! - webdunce, Nov 11, 2010

'Relajándome en la playa.. ' - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

(it reminds me of those horrible English beaches.. no wonder they come to Spain!) - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Yeah, "let's all go sit on some rocks in the sun." - JoyceM, Nov 11, 2010

I'm not sure how to do this. I don't want the bear saying the caption. And, this caption could apply to any photo of a person relaxing at the beach. Relajándose, maybe? - webdunce, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 9

¿Me estás mirando a mi?

Are you looking at me?

mí , with 'tilde' - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 10

Can you scratch my back, please? I can't reach it.

¿Puedes rascarme la espalda, por favor? No alcanzo.

Again, it's picky, but in Spanish we don't use possesive determiners to talk about body parts: that's what the i.o pronoun is for: "¿Puedes rascarme la espalda?" - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 11

No hay verano en el Polo Norte, por eso estoy aquí.

There's no Summer in the North Pole, that's why I'm here.

'No hay verano.. ' - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 12

Aunque se trata de un fotomontaje me gustaría que fuera real.. dijo el oso.

( Although it is a photomontage I wish it was real.. said the bear. )

:) - 00494d19, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 13

Dicen que el sol hace crecer las cosas.¡Aquí está la esperanza.!

They say the sun makes things grow. Here's hoping .!

la esperanza es lo último que se pierde - 00494d19, Nov 11, 2010

Gracias novia ,siempre estoy esperando y buscando el amor . - ray76, Nov 11, 2010

Answer 14

I like to go "bear"-foot on the beach.

Me gusta andar descal-"oso" por la playa.

"por la playa" - bill1111, Nov 11, 2010

I like the pun! jajaj - Brynleigh, Nov 11, 2010

Thanks, Billstpor! - pesta, Nov 12, 2010

I tried for puns in both languages. This may be my very first Spanish pun. :-) - pesta, Nov 12, 2010
