I have tried translating another riddle.

El más tú tener da lo, el menos tú veo.

The more you have of it, the less you see.

What is it?

Please correct me and try to figure it out. smile

I'm stumped... - DJ_Huero, Mar 8, 2012
For which one.... Okay, the first one is dead so just try for the second one. - 00cdfbd9, Mar 8, 2012
Be sure you change the verb instead of just adding "tu". It should be El mas que tienes de una cosa, el menos que ves. - cekramer, Mar 8, 2012
its ok...you did ur best - Rey_Mysterio, Mar 8, 2012
Ohh okay. Thank you! - 00cdfbd9, Mar 8, 2012
Haha, thanks for the comfort, Hecho. ;) - 00cdfbd9, Mar 8, 2012
Don't worry! Some of the mistakes you made you don't learn until you are more advanced in Spanish. Just keep practicing. :) - cekramer, Mar 8, 2012

Es nada. smile I love this riddle! As far as the "lo"s, first you must decide whether the subject is feminine or masculine. Nada is not usually considered a noun, so I would say your subject would be "cosa" which is feminine. "It", meaning the thing, can be either lo, la, los, or las. "Cosa" is both feminine and singular, so you should use "la". Then, be sure to have it in front of the verb. For example, your first phrase should be "El pobre la tienen". Hope this helps!

It seems I saw a different riddle. Sorry. - cekramer, Mar 8, 2012
No, no, it was up, but I realized my translation of it was horrible. So here is a new one. But thank you for the advice! :) - 00cdfbd9, Mar 8, 2012

!Cataratas! , ¡Glaucoma!

-The Spanish translation should be something like this. = !Entre más tienes de esto, menos ves!

  • Catarata = Aging of the eye. It turns the eye cloudy and grayish. It makes the eyesight opaque until it blocks completely your sight. Click on Catarata
  • Glaucoma = is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged in a characteristic pattern. This can permanently damage vision in the affected eye(s) and lead to blindness if left untreated. Click on Glaucoma
