"Me despertó una mordida en mi oreja"

Question

Can't understand the sentence

me despertó una mordida en mi oreja.

Answer 1

I woke up with a pierced ear.

En el interés de los estudiantes de inglés quisiera decir que aunque esta es una interpretación interesante y plausible, no es la traducción más directa. Una mordida es "bite", y no se convierte en "piercing" a menos que se produzca una perforación. - Gekkosan, Dec 14, 2010

Answer 2

The phrase "me despertó una mordida en mi oreja" is understandable enough but at the same time a little confusing without the context of the dog; For people, we use "Oído" and for animals, "Oreja."

I would also say "... la oreja."

Answer 3

It was a story about a dog, so in this sentence the dog was telling how he was woken up one morning by a cat who was biting his ear. But I still liked the answer about pierced ear

Answer 4

Answer 5

got it! thanks anyway!
