Answer 1

La primera cosa que los maridos nuevos tienen que aprender es, 'Tenemos que hablar' en realidad quiere decir 'Tienes que escuchar'.

The first thing that new husbands have to learn is, 'We have to talk' really means 'You have to listen'.

Pues, tienes razón! Y no ha de ser así? je je! - mountaingirl123, Jan 7, 2011

Lo aprendí temprano, y esa es la razón que llevo 25 años casado. - KevinB, Jan 7, 2011

Answer 3

¡Yo soy la jefa aquí, no tú! ¿Entiendes?

I'm the boss here, not you! Do you understand?

Please check my sentence. Thanks! - Dennis_the_Adventurer, Jan 7, 2011

Since the female lion appears to be speaking, 'la jefa' might be more appropriate. - KevinB, Jan 7, 2011

Kevin is right. You need personal pronouns here: Yo soy la jefa aquí, no tú. Good, Dennis :) - cogumela, Jan 8, 2011

Answer 12

¿Se supone que he de creerme que esa mujer/leona de anoche era tu prima Leslie? ¡No soy tan tonta! ¡Maldita sea!

Am I suppose to believe that that woman from last night was your cousin Leslie? I am not a fool! Damn it!

¿Se supone que he de creerme que esa mujer/leona de anoche era tu prima Leslie? ¡No soy tan tonta! ¡Maldita sea! - cogumela, Jan 8, 2011

(Ella) should be removed. Era -imperfect tense- is the only correct here. I added "tan" for emphasis reasons ( although it is not mandatory) and the idiom is "maldita sea" - cogumela, Jan 8, 2011
