Answer 1

I love my students but sometimes they make me crazy.
Me gustan mis estudiantes pero a veces me hacen loco.

So true! Try to use "love" as a noun instead of a verb. - Paralee, Mar 2, 2012

"Me vuelven loco" is a more idiomatic translation. - FigueroaGaray33, Mar 2, 2012

Good phrase to know Figueroa. - katydew, Mar 3, 2012

Answer 13

I often hear mothers call their children 'mi amor' when they are talking to them.

A menudo oigo las madres se llaman llamarle a sus niñitos hijos, 'mi amor,' cuando les platican estén placticando a ellos.

"A menudo oigo a las madres llamarle a sus hijos 'mi amor' cuando les platican." No need for subjunctive, and "a ellos" is redundant when you have the "les." - FigueroaGaray33, Mar 3, 2012

Thank you FG for the corrections. It's lovely to have help. - katydew, Mar 4, 2012
