Question

¿Cómo se pasa al castellano la siguiente oracion? Para los argentinos es muy comun decir: ella dijo que si y el que no, pero en ingles no me suena correcto decir: my sister told her not. My mother yes... "... Mi hermana le dijo que no. Mi mamá que sí. Mi hermana que no. Mi mamá que sí." Muchas gracias

Puedes, por favor, decirnos cuál es tu lengua materna? - rabbitwho, Jan 15, 2012

Answer 1

Ella dijo que sí y él que no: "she said yes and he said no."

Mi hermana le dijo que no, mi mamá que sí: "my sister said no but my mom said yes."

That's not it though. "My mom asked me if I was tall?" "I said no". That's wrong, though "Le dije que no" is right in Spanish. - rabbitwho, Jan 15, 2012

that's wrong? "I said 'no'" is a complete sentence - unMica, Jan 15, 2012

maybe I see what you're saying, I added "and" and "but" to the sentences - unMica, Jan 15, 2012

To have it right for an exam it would have to be "she said "yes" and he said "no"" as far as I know. - rabbitwho, Jan 15, 2012

But in everyday writing absolutely I would say it your way! - rabbitwho, Jan 15, 2012

Answer 2

There's no one way of saying this.

She asked me if I was tired. I told her I wasn't. / I told her I was. I said "yes". I said "no".

She asked me If I wanted to go to the shop. I told her I didn't. / I told her I did

She just asked me if it was raining. I told her it isn't / I told her it is.

He said he loved me. I told him he didn't. / I agreed he did.

She asked if I could fly. I told her I couldn't. / I told her I could.

"What should I tell him?" "Tell him yes!" "Tell him no"

She asked what she should tell him. They told her to tell him yes/no.

She asked if I was tall. I told her I wasn't. I said "no".
