Answer 1

No me gusta ni pasar la aspiradora ni barrer el suelo.

Edit:

No me gusta pasar la aspiradora ni barrer el piso.

I don't like to vacuum or to sweep the floor.

Spanish: No me gusta pasar la aspiradora ni barrer el suelo. English: I don't like to vacuum or to sweep the floor. - --Mariana--, Dec 9, 2011

I don't want to start a controversy here, but (smile)..."suelo" is usually the ground and "piso" is the floor inside. - --Mariana--, Dec 9, 2011

Answer 9

Loan me your maid my flat is very scruffy. Presta me su criada mi piso es muy desordenada

You need punctuation. "Presta me tu criada; mi piso esta muy desordenado." - --Mariana--, Dec 16, 2011

"loan" is more usual in the USA (formal) - "lend" is used more in Brit. Eng. - ian-hill, Dec 16, 2011

Mariana l think you forgot the accents ;) , shouldn't this be ''préstame'' and ''está''? or maybe l'm just confused? - 00b6f46c, Dec 16, 2011

Si, but not "scruffy"- that is used to describe a person, not a place. I would say maybe use "messy" or "dirty" instead? - kiersten11, Dec 16, 2011
