"Dead woman walking" in Spanish?

Question

How do I say "dead woman walking" in Spanish? Thank you very much.

Welcome to the forum. =) I edited your title and question for clarity. - NikkiLR, Mar 29, 2012

Answer 1

"Mujer muerta andando" (I think for this context the continuous verb form "andando" is better as it describes what the woman is doing. The adjective form "andante" describes the type of woman...as in "a walking woman" (as opposed to "a woman walking")

"Mujer muerta caminando"

Tienes razón. No tomé eso en cuenta. Más bien se refiere al gerundio del verbo "caminar". Jaja. Buena observación. Aunque en las versiones "hispanas" de series o películas de zombies traducen "walking" como "andante", así esté al final o no de la frase. - -cae-, Mar 29, 2012

Answer 2

Para mí sería:

"Mujer muerta andante".

No eh, esa frase se refiere a cuando un convicto es sentenciado a muerte: "Dead man walking", generalmente la dice el custodio que lo acompaña desde su celda al lugar en donde va a ser ejecutado =), no traduzcas las cosas de forma tan literal =) - DoverMob, Mar 29, 2012

Answer 3

Just for culture, from The Urban Dictionary:

1. Dead man walking

US: A death row prisoner on his terminal walk to eternity inherites the unenviable title of 'dead man walking'.

As the prisoner set of for his last walk to the gas chamber the other con's slowly shook there heads from side to side and muttered 'dead man walking'. by Blue Cawdrey Nov 21, 2004

Then:

That's a slang expression used in prision for dead sentenced convicts..., it would translate as: "Hombre muerto en camino" o "Mujer muerta en camino"...

Answer 4

That's a slang expression used in prision for dead sentenced convicts..., it would translate as: "Hombre muerto en camino" o "Mujer muerta en camino"...

Answer 5

caminar mujer muerta

I think that "walking" in this case is used as "adjective". :-) - -cae-, Mar 29, 2012
