Hola, Bandit! Do you mean the adjective is plural as well? Aduaneros oficiales ? - Findy, Jul 14, 2013

Since you have two (plural)....A veces aduaneros hacen cuatro patas. (I think) - bandit51jd, Jul 14, 2013

aduanero can mean "customs" or "customs officer" - bandit51jd, Jul 14, 2013

Have a great time! Gracias por tu participatión! - bandit51jd, Jul 14, 2013

The English concept of official is within ¨aduanero¨. (I believe) - bandit51jd, Jul 14, 2013

Is that better? ;D - Findy, Jul 14, 2013

¨tienen¨ might be better than ¨hacen¨ - bandit51jd, Jul 14, 2013

(These comments seem to be posting in mixed up order). - Findy, Jul 14, 2013

Anyway, changed it.... gotta run!! Thanks for the fun game! - Findy, Jul 14, 2013

Argh... should that be hacen, not hace? - Findy, Jul 14, 2013

I may be typing to fast! lol Yes, it would be hacen. But now I´m thinking ¨tienen¨ might be better, but I´m not sure. - bandit51jd, Jul 15, 2013

Yes! I tried it with tienen in the translator and it looks more like how I wanted it to sound (in my English sentence). ¡Muchas gracias otra vez! - Findy, Jul 15, 2013
