Answer 2

Hi "mum", I hope you get better soon and that it wasn't because of the tacos I brought from Mexico.

Hola "mami", espero que te mejores pronto y que no haya sido por los tacos que traje de México.

Yes, it's kind of an international mum.

Chilaquiles verdes por desayuno..... I really miss that! Your picture reminded me of things I miss about Mexico. :) - Nicole-B, Jul 7, 2011

Ah ! Now I am hungry and cannot break my diet , drat. - ray76, Jul 7, 2011

Buena respuesta :) - Fidalgo, Jul 7, 2011

I want!!! You better make me these whenever I come to visit you in Mexico. You can leave out ''that'' in your English sentence. Other than that, it is perfect, as always ;) *hugs and kisses hermanito* - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Short and sweet. Good job Sandy :) - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Thanks! - sanlee, Jul 9, 2011

Answer 6

Hello Mrs. Gomez, I'm so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well after that dinner I cooked for your family, and next time I will not add the hot chicken feet.

Hola Señora, lo siento al saber que no se siente bien después de la cena que cociné para su familia, y la próxima vez no voy a incluir las patas picantes de pollo.

Perfect sentence pesta, very good job :) - Dakie, Jul 6, 2011

Great! I was afraid I was getting rusty on the "formal" mode of address. Thank you, Dakie! - pesta, Jul 6, 2011

No way, it's very usual to address a "Mrs" that way. ;) - Dakie, Jul 6, 2011

I use to love chicken feet...stew, curry, in souse, in soup. Oh well, I weren't be seeing that for ages. Excellent work pesta!!! Thank you for always posting on my threads *hugs* - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

I love chicken feet too. Great Chinese "dim-sum" delicacy! :) - pesta, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 7

Por favor mejórate pronto. Echo de menos poder jugar con tu colección de cabezas humanas reducidas.

Please get well soon. I miss being able to play with your collection of shrunken heads.

por favor mejórate pronto...; although the rest is correct, you changed the meaning of "missing" for "being sad"...; change it if you want...; very good job ;) - Dakie, Jul 6, 2011

Thanks. I did cheat using "triste," because I was afraid I was a little over my head with what I *really* wanted to say. With help from SD's phrasebook, I gave it my best shot above. Please let me know how close I came? - territurtle, Jul 7, 2011

A hint: "extraño/echo de menos" is always followed by a verb in its infinitive form. - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

Heavens, you're a **wonderful** teacher!! - territurtle, Jul 7, 2011

Thank you turtle :) you're correct now. - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

Haha, who wouldn't miss the shrunken heads! lol :) - pesta, Jul 7, 2011

Nice :) - Fidalgo, Jul 7, 2011

Thanks Pesta and Fidalgo! - territurtle, Jul 7, 2011

The Adam's family :O I have not seen that show in ages. And yes, Gabby is a wonderful teach and great English Student ;) Keep up the good work turtle *Hugs* - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 8

Lamento escuchar que su madre está enferma después de practicar paracaidismo en las Cataratas del Niágara..Tal vez no fue tan buena idea después de todo. No obstante, espero que (ella) se recupere lo más rápido posible y trate de aprender un pasatiempo más seguro la próxima vez tal como jardinería.

= I am sorry to hear that your mother is ill after skydiving into Niagara Falls. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea after all. Nevertheless, I hope she recovers as quickly as possible and tries to take up (learn) a safer hobby next time, such as gardening

Corregid mi español, por favor

original caption; Lamento escuchar que su madre está enferma después de paracaídismo en Cataratas del Niagara..Tal vez no fue tan buena ídea después de todo. No obstante, espero que (ella) recupere lo más rapido posible y tratar de aprender un pasatiempo más seguro la próxima vez tal como jardinería.

There's not a verb for "skydiving" in Spanish so you have to say something like: después de practicar paracaidismo (no accent) en las Cataratas del Niágara (accent)...; idea(no accent)...; espero que (ella) se recupere lo más rápido (accent)...; - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

y trate de aprender (subjuntive)...; Bien hecho Paul ;) - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

Gracias Dakie desfortadamente he cometido muchos errores en esta frase - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2011

not a big deal, everybody would have understood the message. :) - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

Haha.....good sentence Paul. I see you are writing more and more :) I love reading your post on here. They are always interesting. *Hugs* - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 9

Querida Señora Gibss, Lo siente no siente bien espero que te mejores pronto.
Dear Mrs. Gibbs, I'm sorry your not feeling well I hope that you get better soon.

In order not to be redundant, I'd change "lo siento" por Lamento, so: Lamento que no se sienta bien, espero que se mejore pronto. (or everything tú or everything usted) good job Jason ;) ;) - Dakie, Jul 7, 2011

Jason there is a little error in your English sentence. You are not feeling well/ you're not feeling well. Also, put a full stop after ''well'' and you can remove ''that''. - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Keep up the good work and thank you for always posting *hugs* - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

Answer 10

Querida Señora Naru,

Ja ja ja. Esto es exactamente lo que usted se merece después de lo que ha dicho sobre mi.

Rebecca

Dear Mrs. Naru,

Ha ha ha. This is exactly what you deserve after what you said about me.

Rebecca

Esto es exactamente que se merece después de que lo dijo sobre mí. - HotChickCD, Jul 8, 2011

exactamente lo que usted se merece...; buen trabajo rabbit ;) - Dakie, Jul 9, 2011
