I am not coming to the office today, we have too much snow.

Answer 5

Dad won't make it to work today, the neighbor got a little TOO drunk last night.

Papá no va a poder venir a trabajar hoy, el vecino se puso demasiado borrachito la noche anterior.

Based on your English version I would say: Papá no va a poder venir a trabajar hoy, el vecino se puso un poco borracho anoche. Buen trabajo. - Dakie, Mar 22, 2011

Hmm, se puso sounds a little better, but amongst those whom I speak with, borrachito would be a quicker and easer way of describing what I said. Un poco borracho is like he wasn't really that drunk, when really i'm using... - DJ_Huero, Mar 23, 2011

...that grammar method, "a little too drunk". Kind of like super small... I don't remember what those are called though. lol - DJ_Huero, Mar 23, 2011

Gracias gabriel... - DJ_Huero, Mar 23, 2011

Answer 6

I can't come to work today because of eye problems - I can't see working today.

No puedo ir a trabajar hoy debido de problemas en los ojos - No puedo ver trabajando hoy.

I don't know if the last sentence is a play on words but I would translate it with present continuous like: "No puedo ver trabajando hoy"; anyway it's a weird but Good job. :) - Dakie, Mar 22, 2011

Yes, it's a play on words. English "I can't see doing (something)" means "I am not inclined to doing (it)", "I cannot do (it) with my current mental attitude" - pesta, Mar 23, 2011

¡Gracias, Dakie! - pesta, Mar 23, 2011
