translation in future

Question

I'm not sure how to translate "i don't want a family because it's too early" using the future tense, and no other site has been able to help. I would think it'd be "No querré una familia porque es demasiado pronto" but I'm unsure of using es.

Answer 1

Oye, Pandas. I'm going to attempt to answer the "whole enchilada.'

I'm not sure how to translate "i don't want a family because it's too early" using the future tense, and no other site has been able to help. I would think it'd be "No querré una familia porque es demasiado pronto" but I'm unsure of using es.

First of all the first part "I don't want a family" Is present tense. "No quiero una familia"

To require a future tense in Spanish would mean a future tense in English like:' I will not want a family --and so on.

But to put it into the future and the last part in proper Spanish I offer:

"No querré una familia porque sería muy precipitado. (literally -too hasty)

"I will not want a family because it would be too hasty." is the way it needs to be restated to make sense in Spanish. As you know in Spanish, some things are not really translatable word for word. You have to make changes.

It's like there is no transitive verb "to like" in Spanish. You have to turn things around and using the verb "gustar" say that something "pleases" you or somebody else.

Dani, aun tu traducción a mí me suena rara. A mi manera de pensar, las dos clausulas de la frase han de estar en el presente o en el futuro y ya. De otra manera realmente no tiene sentido - 005faa61, Mar 5, 2015

Answer 2

I would like to know who deleted my answer to Pandas? It was a good answer, It is recorded on my profile, and I earned 20 rep points for it. What is going on here?

Tales cosas me dan mucho coraje. ¿Por qué poner tanto trabajo en una respuesta, y luego alguien la borra? Es una injusticia.

it is undeleted . - ray76, Mar 5, 2015

Thanks, Ray. I was really shocked to come here and find it gone. I'm really happy you could get it up again. Mil Gracias. ♥♥ - Daniela2041, Mar 5, 2015

However I think that Pandas (who might be female) may have been upset by the responses given to her question. I don't think she even went back to check her PM's. She may never come back. - Daniela2041, Mar 5, 2015

Why didn't you send one of us a pm about your answer being deleted? What time was it deleted? - rac1, Mar 5, 2015

I sent a PM to Ray. He took care of it. - Daniela2041, Mar 5, 2015

Answer 3

Please read this post before posting questions such as these.

Welcome to SpanishDict, Señor Twice-Unlucky Panda! Please use correct grammar and capitalization while you're here. This kind of question might confuse those that are trying to learn English.

If you will use our brilliant Conjugating Tool for the future tense of "want", the rest will slowly start falling into play.

When you said that "No other site has been able to help", I must admit that I was a bit puzzled. This is a (fairly) simple question that any Spanish learning site should be able to answer.

If you will post an attempt, we will be glad to help you!

With regards,

HCA Student

No I know how to conjugate the future tense, but the last part of the sentence is confusing me on if I should conjugate it or not. I would prefer you not to say things such as "Do you mean'No other website has done my homework for me?"' as it is very rude - pandas1331, Mar 4, 2015

It's a fair question, Panda. Please make an attempt and read a copy of the posting guidelines and rules. - rac1, Mar 4, 2015

Apologies Panda, but there are many students who post homework in an effort to get out of actually having to do it. I will edit my post. - 00ffada9, Mar 4, 2015

I understand your reasoning HCAStudent, many students are very lazy today. - pandas1331, Mar 4, 2015

@HCAStudent: I think Pandas is right. We are the only ones that the rescouces to do this type of question. SD is the only one that has ME! (lol) Seriously check out my answer. - Daniela2041, Mar 4, 2015

What happened to my answer that I posted to this question?? - Daniela2041, Mar 4, 2015
