How do you say "too humed to live" in spanish?

Thanks, Kay

Welcome Kay! Spanish will always be capitalized in this context, fyi... thanks! :) - cristalino, Aug 23, 2011

Answer 1

If you are talking about an object, like for example a house, you would say "La casa es demasiado húmeda para vivir", or the climate, "El clima es demasiado húmedo para vivir", but if you are referring to the weather conditions, as you would with the usual "it" that does not refer to anything in particular, as in "It is too humid...", then you have to say "Hace demasiada humedad para vivir".

Answer 2

Do you mean 'too humid to live'?

I'd say... 'demasiado húmedo para vivir'.

Any idea why "humeda" and "húmedo" are pretty much synonymous, but only one has a tilde? Just the last letter differs, so why should the emphasis in pronunciation? :) - cristalino, Aug 23, 2011

Good catch. The dictionary entry lists húmedo/a and separately lists humeda (this one has to be an error). - pesta, Aug 23, 2011

Thanks Pesta... guess it isn't serious enough to merit moderator attention? Just found it somewhat unusual is all.... - cristalino, Aug 24, 2011

Answer 3

Or too humiliated (to continue living)? A stretch, I know... jeje

Soy Estoy demasiado humillado para seguir viviendo.

Just practicing, mind you....

Por favor, corrígeme cuando me equivoco.

In any case "Estoy...", but "Me siento" is a more common option. - lazarus1907, Aug 23, 2011

Thanks Laz! I tend to jump the gun with those two... :) - cristalino, Aug 23, 2011

Had written this in the comment section, but that can pretty much get buried if the post doesn't draw additional attention...

Gracias por adelantado....

What makes you think that "humedo" is anything other than a misspelling?
