An instant slide into glory nieta. Fantastica. - ray76, Dec 20, 2010

Good, Jen! :) - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Heh, this is a bit silly, but when you stretch an expression like 'por favor', you would stretch the final 'o' or 'r', not the 'v'. - bill1111, Dec 20, 2010

ohhhhh that's perfect! - Yeser007, Dec 20, 2010

Thanks Bill :). - --Jen--, Dec 20, 2010

You are right Billstpor, that is a bit silly! - 002262dd, Dec 20, 2010

Perfect caption Jen! - amykay, Dec 20, 2010

Good one, Jen! - 005faa61, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 1

No puedo creer que bebiera tanto anoche. Nunca vuelvo a beber más.
I can't believe I drank that much last night. I'll never drink again.

otra vez? - 0074b507, Dec 20, 2010

Definitely. I was changing my bad when you posted. Mea culpa. - KevinB, Dec 20, 2010

...creer que bebiera tanto...Nunca beberé otra vez is right, but, in my opinion, "no vuelvo a beber más" sounds more natural. Hi, Kevin! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Yes, of all things that could be said here, future tense and 'otra vez' are probably the least idiomatic. 'No voy/vuelvo a beber más' (or 'nunca más') are more common. - bill1111, Dec 20, 2010

Well, I said más at first, but changed my mind. Now I'll change it back. - KevinB, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 2

Oh.. es lunes .. Tengo que ir a trabajar.
( Oh.. its Monday.. I must go to work. )

Thanks Quentin..! - sv2qp, Dec 20, 2010

Right, Sks :) - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 3

¡Estos sofocos son un infierno!

These hot flashes are hell!

Good :) Hi, Cathy!! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

We ingleses call them 'hot flushes' Cathy! :) - galsally, Dec 20, 2010

'Sofocos' is usually enough to imply 'de calor', although it isn't incorrect to add it. What needs changing is the article: 'son un infierno' - bill1111, Dec 20, 2010

Así es como los osos polares se divierten en el hielo!

Answer 6

I hope that we can afford one of those new fangled snow ploughs soon.

Espero que nos alcance el dinero pronto para comprar uno de esos modernas barredoras de nieve

I hope.... ask for subjunctive. Espero que nos "podamos permitir" pronto "una" de "esas" modernas... Hi, Kiwi!!! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

In your version, it would be "alcance el dinero" - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Gracias Cogu :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 11

¡Shhh! Estoy tratando de pillar por sorpresa a aquel pingüino de allí. Shhh, I'm trying to sneak up on that penguin over there.

I had a real problem with "to sneak up on" so I am really looking forward to correction here, thanks!

His name is 007, Gary 007.... sweet!! - Jason7R, Dec 20, 2010

¡Shhh! Estoy tratando de pillar por sorpresa a aquel pingüino de allí. Or, estoy al acecho de aquel pingüino :) Yesero : - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 12

Aún no es invierno oficialmente ya estoy hasta las narices de tanto frío.

It's not even officially winter yet, and I already can't "bear" any more cold.

Aún no 'es' invierno oficialmente y ya no puedo soportar más frío. The last part admits many idiomatic versions : "ya estoy hasta las narices de tanto frío" or " no puedo con tanto frío" or "no aguanto más días fríos". - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Thank you cogu! I think 'hasta las narices" is perfect for this picture! - theresa5, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 13

No, todavía no es lunes. Solo estoy teniendo una pesadilla

No, it's not yet Monday. I'm just having a nightmare

please correct my sentence - Dennis_the_Adventurer, Dec 20, 2010

I see it right. The only thing is 'solo' it doesn't require tilde in this sentence. Hi, Dennis! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Days of the week aren't capitalized in Spanish: 'no es lunes'. As for 'requiring' solo never requires a 'tilde' anymore. It can safely be written as 'solo' in all cases. - bill1111, Dec 20, 2010

gracias amigos! - Dennis_the_Adventurer, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 14

¡Cómo odio estas manchas en mi cuello después de haber comido salmones frescos!...

How I hate these stains on my neck after having eaten fresh salmons!...

¡Cúanto odio...! or, better, ¡Cómo odio estas...! Well done, Luz! - cogumela, Dec 20, 2010

Thanks, Cogu:) - luz_72, Dec 20, 2010
