Asi que ahora, lo que toca

Question

¿Podrías decirme se esta frase es correcto?

Así que ahora ,lo que toca es hacerse las maletas y la mañana madrugar

Muchas gracias por su ayuda.

Sorry I forgot to put in what I thought is the translation .

Context : After a day of preparation before a trip or journey

"Well, all we have to do now is pack our bags and get up early in the morning "

Strange sentence for a beginner in spanish , could you give some context please. - ray76, Jan 13, 2015

It looks ok to me - but wait for a native speaker. - ian-hill, Jan 13, 2015

Answer 1

Así que ahora ,lo que toca es hacerse las maletas y a la mañana madrugar

So now, it's the time to pack (the bags) and in the morning, rise early (wake up early)

"Well, all we have to do now is pack our bags and get up early in the morning "

Bueno, todo lo que tenemos que hacer ahora es empacar/hacer las maletas y levantarnos temprano en la mañana.

edit:

toca = turn/time, instead of touch (determined by context)

also in the same context as turn and time, you could also apply "as far as ... is concerned"... right?

Chileno, I think you can use 'tocar' but I can't say I'm very sure that it is common, but there is a gardening site called ' lo que toca en el huerto' . - annierats, Jan 13, 2015

Meaning: What one should do now, at this time of year, or whatever, in the veg garden..So it might work??? - annierats, Jan 13, 2015

I just wasn't sure that "toca " was correct Thanks chileno - aocroc, Jan 13, 2015

Answer 2

Like annie said.... hacer las maletas. It's pretty much a South American Spanish term I think. From my Mexican experience though, Empacar is more common.

In Spain they say hacer la maleta, it is quite normal, I think. - annierats, Jan 13, 2015

@Jack---"hacer la/s maleta/s" is in all the College textbooks in the US. - Daniela2041, Jan 13, 2015

Answer 3

I think you just need ' hacer las maletas' not hacerse. Mañana tenemos que madrugar.

Cracking good effort though, well done. And I'm not a native, await further answers.

I heard it over Christmas , but I wasn't sure if I had remembered it correctly. The translators couldn't work it out.!! - aocroc, Jan 13, 2015
