Question

Cuando sonreía, le salían dos agujeritos la mar de bonitos.

My translate is "When she smiled, they (2 guys "maybe") stuck in a hole sand in the beach" right???

Thank you Heidita.. I'll take it into my consideration. - Miro74, Mar 16, 2011

Answer 1

dos agujeritos = dimples

la mar de algo = muy, mucho

la mar de bonitos = muy bonitos.

Con ese vestido, te ves la mar de graciosa!

You look wonderful in that dress!

When she smiled, two lovely dimples appeared on her cheeks.

La mar de bonitos = muy bonitos. I can understand now! - Miro74, Mar 18, 2011

Answer 2

I believe it means that the girl has cute dimples.

Literally, "when she smiled, there were two little holes (for lack of a better word ) that came out (of her, hence the le) that were very very nice (la mar de (algo) means something/someone has so much of a certain trait.)"

my idea, as well - Gocika, Mar 16, 2011

This is correct. However, I like Miro's version, as it is one of the most creative mistranslations I have seen in a good while! :-) - Gekkosan, Mar 16, 2011
