Answer 1

Dicen que el dinero no puede comprar felicidad. Es cierto, pero si no tienes dinero, probablemente no estás feliz.

They say that money cannot buy happiness. That is true, but if you do not have money, you are probably not happy.

Ahaha, I think love is better than money, and I am not actually poor. :-P - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

...and I am happy! haha +1 - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

Perfect. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

¡Gracias Lazarus! - 001a2987, May 28, 2011

Congratulations on winning IndianaChris :) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Thank you very much Hanna!! :) - 001a2987, May 28, 2011

Answer 2

No me preocupo mucho por el dinero; el dinero no me compra el amor

I don't care too much for money; money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love

Lol The Beatles are crazy! - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

I think I am way off.---A mí no me importa el dinero--would that be better? - sanlee, May 27, 2011

No me preocupo mucho por el dinero?? - sanlee, May 27, 2011

I don't know Sandy, Lazzy will tell you when he gets here :-) - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

I think I like the last one better. - sanlee, May 27, 2011

Both "Me preocupa el dinero" and "Me preocupo por el dinero" are grammatically correct and both are constantly used. However, the former is more used when you are worried and unsetteled, and the latter more in the sense of being concerned. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

There should be a semicolon after money, though. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Thank you, Lazarus! - sanlee, May 28, 2011

Answer 3

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure as hell helps!

Dinero no puede comprar la felicidad, ¡pero es seguro que ayuda!

Lol, nice one ;-) - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

Good. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

¡Gracias. Laz! - NickDan, May 28, 2011

Answer 4

Si tuviera mas dinero, iría a la universidad. Si obtuviera un mejor título, ganaría mas dinero. Si ganara mas dinero, iría a la universidad otra vez, porque estudiar por toda la vida es mi sueño.

If I had more money, I'd go to university. If I got a better degree, I'd earn more money. If I earned more money, I'd go to university again because to spend my whole life studying is my deam.

Nice :-) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Just three things: "ganara", a comma after "vez" and "toda la vida". - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Well said, rabbit. To me, there's nothing more fun than taking classes. - babs_irish, May 28, 2011

Answer 5

Money is not the root of all evil, but rather the lack of money is.

El dinero no es la raíz de todos los males, sino la falta de dinero.

Easy rule, pesta: there are over 1100 words ending in -dad. All of them, without a single exception, are feminine. It should be "toda maldad". - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

"Root of all evil" is traditionally "la raíz de todos los males", but your version does not sound bad anyway. Also, the last part is correct, but it sounds a bit strange. I would definitely say "..., sino la falta de dinero", avoiding the repetition. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

¡Gracias, Lazarus! - pesta, May 28, 2011

Answer 6

Hay muchas cosas que el dinero no puede comprar, Muriel, y la tarjeta de crédito no funcionará tampoco!

:-P - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

I think maybe it needs to be a double negative and use "tampoco"? Or maybe not o.O Wait till lazarus gets here! P.S. I love the flowers on your profile! - rabbitwho, May 28, 2011

With negative sentences, it is always "tampoco" (either), not "también" (too), like in English. Otherwise, it is perfect. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

thank you! - 00b6f46c, May 29, 2011

Answer 7

My mother always said don't marry for money, divorce for money. Wendy Liebman

Mi madre siempre dijo: No te casas por dinero, divórciate por él.

Haha, :) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Mi madre siempre dijo que no me casara por dinero, sino que me divorciara por él. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Alternatively: "Mi madre siempre dijo: No te cases por dinero; divórciate por él." - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Gracias, Hanna y Laz. - Leatha, May 28, 2011

Answer 8

I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.

No quiero ganar dinero; solo quiero ser maravillosa.

Marilyn Monroe

Mhmm :-) That is a funny thing for a rich person to say! :) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Good, but I would have used a semicolon here. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Yo quiero los dos. - rabbitwho, May 28, 2011

Thanks, Lazarus :) - --Jen--, May 28, 2011

Answer 10

Cuando fui a Francia, el dinero usan estuvo se llamada "el franco". Ahora se llama "el euro".

When I went to France, the money they used was called "the franc". Now it is called "the Euro".

That note looks very weird! :) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

A couple of things: "se llamada" and "Ahora se llama". Also, the currency in Spanish is called "franco". - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

muchas gracias Laz, I wasn't sure about the franc thing. - amykay, May 28, 2011

I changed the pic Koalasan, thx. these are actually French notes (or used to be!) - amykay, May 28, 2011

OPk, sweeet - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Answer 11

En mi estudio, he aprendido que Panamá usa el dinero americano norteamericano, el dólar, y que el canal de Panamá enlaza el mar Caribe y el océano Pacífico.

In my study, I've learned that Panama uses American money, the dollar, and that the Panama Canel links the Carribian Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

In Spanish, "norteamericano", since "americano" includes Latin America. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Gracias, Lazarus! - bandit51jd, May 28, 2011

Answer 12

In my opinion, I prefer using euro to using US dollar because of its greater value.

En mi opinión, prefiero usar el euro a usar el dólar norteamericano debido a su valor más grande.

Lol, at least Australian money is colourful! hahahahahahahahahhahaha. but they are pretty coloufull, ours still looks better Fidalgo;) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

Gracias, Koalasan :) I have added something new to my sentence :) - Fidalgo, May 28, 2011

Haha, very funny! I like that :) - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

"usar el euro a usar el dólar norteamericano" (de los EE. UU. is also correct, but it sounds unusual to me) - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

I don't mind the notes, but i hate the coins because they all look the same. They should introduce more shapes and more of the silver colour. - rabbitwho, May 28, 2011

Gracias por todo, Hanna, Larazus, y Rabbitwho :) - Fidalgo, May 28, 2011

Answer 13

Nadie diga, tengo basto dinero. Siempre desean mas.

No one says, I have enough money. They always want more.

Vikin, I have enough money, I don't need anymore! ahaha just kidding, +1 - Destroyed99, May 28, 2011

"Nadie dice que no tiene suficiente dinero. Siempre desean más." - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011

Answer 14

Es una lástima que tanta gente haga cualquier cosa por el dinero.

It's a shame that so many people will do anything for money.

Lol, true! :-) - Destroyed99, May 27, 2011

Good. - lazarus1907, May 28, 2011
