Phonetic sentence translation for intermediate English students.

Question

The sentence below is in English, but I have written it phonetically using the Spanish alphabet. Try to write it in proper English.

scuit miquidís

Answer 1

Could it be:

Let's go eat. Mickey D's. (the first part spoken rapidly and slurred)

Yes. - lorenzo9, Nov 14, 2010

If you read that in Spanish, it definitely does not sound even remotely similar to that sentence in English. Again, not if you read it like a native. - lazarus1907, Nov 14, 2010

If you pronounced it like a Mexican or Ecuadorian Spanish speaker and were speaking to a native English speaker in California over the age of 4, they would understand you. - lorenzo9, Nov 15, 2010

The way people speak is often very different from proper English, especially with very common phrases. - lorenzo9, Nov 15, 2010

Yes, Lorenzo -the 'let' is completely lost at the start and all you hear is " 's go eat" but slurred together. :) - galsally, Nov 15, 2010

Answer 2

scuit : 'S eat... or... Let's (go) eat

Let's eat Mickey D's!

Answer 6

First one is sweet. however, the second...no idea.

In the first one it should be /suit/ unless I am on the wrong track.

The seconds word makes no sense, not in this transcrption, lorenzo.

we would not use the qu for phonetic transcriptions, we use the k ;) - 00494d19, Nov 14, 2010

How do you get 'sw' from 'sc', Heidi? I'm lost! - galsally, Nov 14, 2010

I also think that "sweet" is more like "suit". Hmmmm What about "Is quit" ? - cogumela, Nov 14, 2010

Answer 7

I wouldn't get Mickey D's because we say 'Mackey D's' around here. I don't eat there either.

I was thinking about

'Scoot, me kiddies!'

but the emphasis is in the wrong place for kiddies, it would be 'miquídis', wouldn't it?
