Answer 1

Be careful what you wish for, I am full of gas. Tenga cuidado con lo que desea, estoy lleno de gasolina.

"Tenga cuidado con lo que desea, estoy lleno de gas." Be careful what = "Tenga (usted) / Ten (tú) cuidado con lo que". Plus: See that 'gas' in American English is gasolina in Spanish. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Thank you RC - pmikan-pam, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 2

?? Come on baby! light my fire.??

¡Vamos nena! enciende mi fuego.

Perfect! Just one little thing: to close exclamation marks. :P - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

I always forget how to do it on my keyboard. :) - ian-hill, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 3

The flame on this matchstick resembles my hairstyle, don't you think?

La llama de este palillo se parece como a mi peinado, ¿no crees?

"La llama de este palillo/cerilla/cerillo se parece/asemeja a mi peinado, ¿no crees?". It is said his hairdresser is on fire. :P - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

It brings out the highlights I think! jeje - pmikan-pam, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 4

Baby, you and I are like gasoline and matches. Together, we can set the world on fire!

Baby, tú y yo somos como la gasolina y unos fósforos. ¡Juntos, podemos prenderle fuego al mundo!

Very good! - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 5

Anybody got a stick of dynamite?

¿Alguien tiene un cartucho de dinamita?

big-ga-badda-boom - Aranjuez12, Nov 7, 2013

Typo: "alguien". Otherwise ¡boom! - perfect. :P - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

RC not a typo but rather a mistake. Thanks. - gringojrf, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 6

I always use one of these after I eat too many beans.

Siempre uso uno de éstos después de que como demasiados frijoles.

Note: I tried this one on my own and then went back to use the translator for help....mine was close to what the translator spit out, but I didn't use "que." I really struggle with que when it doesn't translate to what....seems like it has so many uses. Assuming that it belongs in the sentence above, can someone help me with the significance?

Sometimes you have to look at things as a group or phrase, not individual elements. Después de que is like after or after which or afterwards. Después de can also be followed by an infinitive. So one can say después de comer... - rogspax, Nov 6, 2013

Thanks Rogspax. This is actually the second time you've helped me today because I saw a meme you created over on Memrize. :) - vevans, Nov 6, 2013

I would take Rogspax excellent advice. I think the best way to say it is: "Siempre uso uno de estos después de comer demasiados frijoles". - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 7

Dijeron ayer " encenda un fosforo antes subirá esé ascensor. Yesterday they said" Light a match before you get on that elevator."

And the story continues... - vevans, Nov 6, 2013

"Encienda un fósforo antes de subir a ese ascensor". :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Where is this story going Helio? You are the great storyteller - pmikan-pam, Nov 8, 2013

Answer 8

Come closer, my little butterfly. The flame is enchanting, isn't it?

Acercate, mi pequeña mariposa. La llama es encantadora, ¿no?

"Acércate, mi pequeña mariposa. La llama es encantadora, ¿no?" or "La llama es cautivadora, ¿verdad?" :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 9

Come close! Come close! I promise it would not hurt much!

¡ Acércate! ¡ Acércate! Prometo que no dolerá mucho!

"Prometo que no dolerá mucho" or "que no te (to you) dolerá mucho". He's lying! jeje - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Thanks, RC. You're right: he's lying! - Raja-jani, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 10

Este es muy moderno, cuando era un niño se utilizó dos piezas de maderas.

This is very modern , as a kid we used two pieces of wood .

"Este/Esto es muy moderno, cuando (yo) era un niño utilizábamos (we) dos piezas de madera." Here "madera" is singular because is uncountable - "piezas" is plural. Hola Ray! - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

And when I was young we used to strike rocks together.. - annierats, Nov 7, 2013

Answer 11

Somebody bring me a cake to light or I melt the little girl!

Traigame un pastel encender o se derrite la chica!

"Que alguien me traiga un pastel que encender o derrito la chica"

"Que alguien me traiga un pastel" or "Tráiganme un pastel" + "que encender o derrito / derritiré a la chica" :D - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Woh! :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

Hungry are we, control yourself Jeje - pmikan-pam, Nov 11, 2013

Answer 12

También tengo uno azul. Al principio quise/quería usar las pastillas pero un chico ya había robado la idea.

I have a blue on as well/ At first I wanted to used tablets but a guy already had robbed the idea.

"Al principio quise usar pastillas" Here you can use "quise" or "quería". It does not change the meaning. :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 7, 2013

¡No se preocupe! Sólo estoy buscando la caja de fusibles a oscuras, No tengo (ninguna) intención de prender fuego al pelo de nadie.

Don't worry! I'm just searching for the fuse box in the dark, I have no intention to set anybody's hair on fire.
