SD's phrasebook

Question

A while back many of us spent many hours submitting English phrases and other members gave us the Spanish equivalents (if they existed).

The link to that phrase book is not shown on the Q&A page.

It is here if you want to have a look

Example

without rhyme or reason ? = ? sin qué ni para qué

Meanings

His idea is stupid it is without rhyme or reason.

something makes no sense or is illogical

I would suggest members to bookmark it. - rac1, Aug 10, 2015

Answer 2

Thanks, Ian. Below is a link with instructions to add a phrase if you so desire.

I was told phrases could no longer be added several months ago ... are they being taken again? - Esteban_317, Aug 11, 2015

They can be added Steve but no one is suggesting Spanish equivalents anymore. - ian-hill, Aug 11, 2015

Answer 3

Thanks Sir Ian and SD. This is exactly what I was interested in because English phrases don't necessarily carry over into Spanish as I had learned (remember my word of the day entry about pigs flying? Well, pigs don't fly in Spanish; horses do.)

I hope the list keeps growing and growing.

How do you get to the phrasebook?

Maybe rac1 (Amber) can help you find it cos I don't know except by searching for it. :) - ian-hill, Aug 11, 2015

Answer 4

What a great list!! When I was playing around on it, I saw "I couldn't care less", a common expression. I also saw "I could care less" which is not a proper saying, but is a "misstatement" of the proper one. Could that one perhaps be taken off, as we do want to teach proper English. Thanks!

I have heard it said - strangely. - ian-hill, Aug 11, 2015
