Nine letter word Challenge - 15

votes

Nine letter word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

The idea is to make words of 3 or more of the given letters.

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

T I F

L E B

A U U

The letter highlighted must be used. E

Find an English or Spanish word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

Example:

Toothpaste is usually in a tube.

Pasta de dientes es por lo general en un tubo.

For my nine letter word the poster will get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

So it doesn't have to be a word with 9 letters in it, but it just has to use only the letters that you give? - katydew, Sep 22, 2013

I would quite like a margaret too many :) - ian-hill, Sep 21, 2013
[...] después de un margarita de más. Or: después de unos/algunos margaritas de más. (more than one). - RelaxingCup, Sep 21, 2013
Hello It's una, unas or algunas" Margaritas. :) - 007e54d7, Sep 22, 2013
Thanks for the corrections! - rogspax, Sep 22, 2013
You are welcome ahh. And don't forget to separe the words "demás" => "de más"... http://www.livingspanish.com/Ortografia-porque-sino-demas-A.htm - 007e54d7, Sep 22, 2013
I have to disagree with that. In Spain we say "unos" (masculine) because it doesn't relate to the flower (daisy) but the cocktail (el cóctel). - RelaxingCup, Sep 22, 2013
See Francot's comment about how to write "de más" (two words) - RelaxingCup, Sep 22, 2013
Ups. I have been reading and I think "un margarita" is correct too, but I never heard un. I have heard always "una margarita" al menos aquí en México. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89l4hQVj-ds - 007e54d7, Sep 22, 2013

Please help me with my Spanish. - 0083f5dc, Sep 21, 2013
Since tipi is masculine it must be "muchos", otherwise is correct. Suggestion: See that in English you didn't write "that were made of sticks", just "sticky". In Spanish you can do so: "ha construido muchos tipis con/de palos". - RelaxingCup, Sep 21, 2013
Thank you very much, RelaxingCup. - 0083f5dc, Sep 21, 2013
