My example:

English: If I don't bring something home this time my wife's gonna kill me.

Español: Si no le traigo algo a casa esta vez mi esposa me matará.

¿Ya tienes una sartén bastante grande, Mariana? - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

¡Gran título! - pesta, Aug 26, 2011

Nice picture, just a little observation in this phrase is not necessary "le" but if you wanted use it, you might say: "Si no le traigo algo a mi esposa me matará". Funny! :) - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

Oh, Mariana, you've got a wonderful winner today! You go, Girl!! :)) - territurtle, Aug 26, 2011

Answer 1

"If only he was out of that chair. I'm allergic to wood."

"Si tan sólo él fue salir de esa silla. Soy alérgico a la madera."

Tienes que esperar hasta que haga pipi, Marshi . . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

Lol Inge. - 0043ad50, Aug 26, 2011

looool, now this is brilliant - SpanishPal, Aug 26, 2011

Thank you so much SpanishPal. From you, that means a lot. - 0043ad50, Aug 26, 2011

Jejeje...... Muy bien, Marshall:) - migelis, Aug 26, 2011

This is really interesting to me. I think you need "si tan solo fuera..." but then I would say " fuera de esa silla..." If you put them together, it doesn't sound right though. You can't say ",si tan solo fuera fuera esa silla", can you? - MLucie, Aug 26, 2011

"si tan solo estuviera fuera..."? - MLucie, Aug 26, 2011

"si tan sólo estuviera fuera de esa silla." or you might say: "Si tan sólo estuviese sin esa silla" - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

Buena respuesta Marshall :) - EL_MAG0, Aug 26, 2011

Answer 2

My friend told me that here in this place I could find big fishes, but I don't believe that is true.

Mi amigo me dijo que en este sitio podría encontrar peces grandes, pero no creo que sea verdad.

Soon, you will be a true believer. :) - EL_MAG0, Aug 26, 2011

Wait and see! - ianta, Aug 26, 2011

.......,but I don't believe *it* is true. Good job. - SpanishPal, Aug 26, 2011

Amingo, 'fish' can be both countable and uncountable noun. Look here http://www.oxfordadvancedlearnersdictionary.com/dictionary/fish - SpanishPal, Aug 26, 2011

"here in this place" isn't a phrase most people would use. "My friend told me I could find big fish here" is more natural. Also the plural of fish is fish. - Leatha, Aug 26, 2011

@Leatha the plural of fish is both fish and fishes, check the above link. You can say here in this country, here in this school and here in this place. - SpanishPal, Aug 26, 2011

Please, help me, Is it wrong my phrase, do I need to change it? Thanks everyone! - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

"... I don't believe it is true." - pesta, Aug 26, 2011

or "... I don't believe that is true." - pesta, Aug 26, 2011

Thank you pesta :) - Animalescus, Aug 27, 2011

Answer 3

I think it’s good that we don’t know what life has in store for us . . . .

Creo que está bien que no sepamos lo que la vida nos depara . . . . .

Es por eso que no pesco :) - pesta, Aug 26, 2011

Great post Inge. - 0043ad50, Aug 26, 2011

Estoy de acuerdo, Inge:) - migelis, Aug 26, 2011

Bien dicho, mi amiga. - SpanishPal, Aug 26, 2011

Muchas gracias por todos los comentarios, mis amigos . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

How about this one: "Creo que está bien que no sepamos lo que la vida nos depara" - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

Estoy de acuerdo también. ;) - EL_MAG0, Aug 26, 2011

Tienes rázon. La vida nos da muchas sorpresas malas y muy poca buenas sorpresas.. - annierats, Aug 26, 2011

Wise.... :) - PrincessMariam, Aug 26, 2011

Muchas gracias por corregirme, Animal . . . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

Answer 4

The shark: this guy can't be serious or maybe he's the bait but doesn't know it.

El tiburón: este tipo no pueda estar serio o quizás él sea el cebo, pero no lo sepa.

Jejeje, Pal:) - migelis, Aug 26, 2011

Por cierto eso es el caso, SP . . . . . :) - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

Answer 5

¡Creo que necesito Pienso necesitar una línea más fuerte!

I think I believe I need a stronger line!

Hola, Bandit. Nice post:) - migelis, Aug 26, 2011

Probablemente tienes razón, Bandit :) - Ingeteacher, Aug 26, 2011

Hi Bandit, nice post - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

No sé si él saberlo o no, ... no todavía jeje pero pronto. Hola amiga mía :) - EL_MAG0, Aug 26, 2011

Bandit, I'd say : "Pienso que necesito..." would be more correct, don't you think? - culé, Aug 26, 2011

I'd say: "Creo que necesito..." - this is not so much about "thinking" as in "believing". - pesta, Aug 26, 2011

Migelis, Inge y Animalescus, muchas gracias! - bandit51jd, Aug 26, 2011

Also, Animalescus, I enjoyed visiting with you and Gary. - bandit51jd, Aug 26, 2011

Hola Amor, I was sorta doing a play on ¨Jaws¨, do you remember the line, ¨I think we need a bigger boat¨? - bandit51jd, Aug 26, 2011

Pesta y Culé, yes! "I think (that) or que but I believe pesta's idea of believing is good too! Thank you both! - bandit51jd, Aug 26, 2011

This is not about a sea and a shark in it. This is about a water mass in a shark's mou?th!

Answer 8

I hope to catch a little bit of fish to have for dinner.

Espero que atrapar un poquito de pescado para cenar.

Edit: Espero atrapar algunos peces para cenar.

Note: I used pescado because that is what I had in mind para cenar.

Muchísimas gracias por las correcciones.

Let me help: "Pescado" is dead fish, "pez" is alive, so will want catch a live fish, no a dead one. "Espero atrapar algunos peces para cenar" :) - Animalescus, Aug 26, 2011

Jejeje...... Bad luck, no dinner any more.:) - migelis, Aug 26, 2011
