Answer 1

Hi Roselyn,

You need to select the Spanish to English tab in the translator. Also, make sure you use a personal pronoun to avoid ambiguity. Ej. Él come sandía.

yes,,i did,,but sad to say,,cannot be,,the response with me venga sandía,,i repeat,and repeat,,but still,,thanks for you,,hehehe - roselyn00, May 12, 2012

I am not sure what you are doing. I got "He eats watermelon" and "He eat watermelon" - francobollo, May 12, 2012

Yes,i understand,,that come sandía means,, He eats watermelon,,base in my understanding,but i want to translate it in English so that i know better and how,where i going to use it,, but i believe translating with your is good and can help you much,, - roselyn00, May 13, 2012

I believe that translating it with your own is good,,but you need to take time to those word even its simple,, so that you know and where you going to use it,, - roselyn00, May 13, 2012

Hola Roselyn,

I see you are trying to conjugate the word eat. It's always good to try and do it first, by yourself.

Click on the "Translate" tab at the top of this page. Then type in the word "eat" which is the word you want to conjugate. At the bottom of the translations for the word "eat" you will see the English Conjugations for the word eat. The chart should help you with your translations.

If this doesn't help, leave a comment and I will try to help you with this.

ok,,by the way thanks for that,, but im just want to know..If what the uses,of come, como,comemos, and comes,that's why i am looking for come sandía,,cause i use to translate it using the translate above,,but the result is Venga sadía,, - roselyn00, May 12, 2012

and i am just want to know that, if what is the specific uses of each word,,, - roselyn00, May 12, 2012

thanks,,for showing and interest to help me,, muchas gracias - roselyn00, May 12, 2012

Answer 4

The translator is confused. If you type "ella come sandía" you will get an accurate translation. If you type "él come sandía" it thinks "come" is English "come" (venir). Translators don´t always know verb conjugations, which is what is happening here. They can be idiots at times.

No,,i didn't type " ella come sandía" cause you know i am Learning using Learn Spanish 1,then the lesson i learn,,is # 1.11 which stand for,,"Ser vs Ester",then i get difficult to understand when i can't translate,, come sandía,that's why i am looking - roselyn00, May 13, 2012

any idea if where i could translate it,, - roselyn00, May 13, 2012

"Come sandía" as a separate sentence and with no other context is imperative (demanding) while talking to someone in familiar "you" (tú) and telling him or her to "eat watermellon" - 005faa61, May 13, 2012

Answer 5

Please put the words you want translated inside quotation marks. This will help other members to know what words you want translated. One is able to follow this convention even though not familiar with the language. I believe that you want us to translate the words, "Come sandía." It means, "He eats watermelon."

Yes,,, i understand the meaning even the result is spanish,,but i wan to translate it in english,,so that i understand better,,if how and where i going to use it.And i want to know better if what is the specific uses of it word,by the way thank you !! - roselyn00, May 13, 2012
