Hi, please use proper punctuation/capitalization when posting, there are people here learning English and we need to be a good example to them. I have corrected your post. Welcome to the forum! - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Hint... the word "hay" is used.... a form of the verb "haber".
"Hay" in Spanish means, "There is/There are".
"No" comes before the verb... so to say "I don't want", it would be "No quiero".
The word for waffles is "gofres".
Ok... give it your best shot!

gofres! I've never heard of that. I have actually only ever seen waffles regarded in Spanish as waffles (but Spanish pronunciation). - shakedowndave, Jun 11, 2011
A friend at work told me that... not sure if it's regional or not. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011
In Spain people say "gofre", a term borrowed from French, who borrowed from German. - lazarus1907, Jun 11, 2011
And the Germans borrowed from the Belgians, right? je je - cristalino, Jun 11, 2011

Right ! If you say "gofres" in México, no one will understand. We have U.S. to borrow terms; in Spain they have France. - Agora, Jun 11, 2011
Same for mufflers on a car! All kinds of shops that do "mofles" in this area... :) - cristalino, Jun 11, 2011
En Verdad Chris I have never seen another word for "mofles" - pacofinkler, Jun 11, 2011

Right words, wrong order. - gintar77, Jun 11, 2011
Close... try again. :) - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011
in Spanish, "no" always before the verb (and before direct and indirect pronouns, if any) - lazarus1907, Jun 11, 2011

No hay wafles = There are no waffles
No quedan wafles = There are no waffles left. or No waffles remain.
The second example would be useful when there were waffles, but they were eaten until none were left. That's likely. Waffles are tasty!
