"Most Interesting Man in the World"

You know the Dos Heches (sp?) advertisements on TV? Where the "Most Interesting Man in the World" closes them by always saying ......

"Stay thirsty, my friend."

How would you translate this? "Tiene sediento, mi amigo"?

That would be more like "Be thirsty, my friend".

How would you indicate that you are to "stay thirsty" ???

Thanks for the help.

Can you send your reply to ..... d.monaghan@comcast.net

Hi, noguera!

I'd say:

"Sigue sediento, amigo mío"

Probably: Sigue teniendo sed, amigo

In Spanish, the saying is "tener sed" (to have thirst). There are a few different ways to get the "to stay whatever" idea across. A common way is seguir + present participle.

You might be able to say "Quédate sediento, amigo" as well.

Wait for more responses, though, as I am not a Spanish native. - webdunce, Jan 6, 2011
You're right excepting in "queda sediento"--> Quédate sediento or Quédate con sed. - cogumela, Jan 6, 2011
