"Qué habrá pensado..."

"Qué habrá pensado..."

5
votes

So, I was reading through some news on Yahoo!, and I found this story...

Cuando veas este video del fan taiwanés de béisbol que sostiene a su hija para recoger una pelota que salió a terreno de foul.., uno de los primeros pensamientos sería ..¡¿qué demonios habrá pensado la esposa

What confuses me a bit is the last phrase, "¿qué ... habrá pensado la esposa?

I know "habrá pensado" translates to "will have thought", but that seems a bit odd here. Is there a better way of translating / wording this?

If you would like to see the original story, it is here.

Thanks!

My best translation of that would be: What the hell will his wife think?

You're right, I shouldn't have put "have thought" but I wasn't thinking :~) - Jack-OBrien, Sep 29, 2011

I think it would be something like "what the hell must she (the wife) have thought?"
