Please correct my mistake. Thanks. - chantaneeyip, Nov 13, 2015

"What a brave cat and timid dog!" would be best. Looks like Pablo wants you to put "!" at the end of your Spanish sentence. Otherwise great! - Jubilado, Nov 13, 2015

Thank you very much, Jubilado. - chantaneeyip, Nov 13, 2015

¡Qué bien ! Para un perro no es un problema nadar, mientras que el gato no sabe.

How good ! For a dog it is not a problem to swim, while the cat does not know it.

Good Porcu, For a dog, **it** is not a problem to swim, while the cat does not know **it**. - sanlee, Nov 13, 2015

..para el perro no es un problema nadar..mientras que el gato no sabe.. :) - Pablo064, Nov 13, 2015

Or "...while the cat does not know how." - jtaniel, Nov 13, 2015

Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Nov 14, 2015

Answer 5

That cat has just saved one of his nine lives..

Eso gato acabo de salvar uno de su vidas nueves.

Wennix, acabo de salvar You always use the infinitive form of the verb after using the construction: acabar de You conjugate: acabar de + infinitiv form of requiered verb. For example: Acabo de **volver** a casa = I have just returned home - FELIZ77, Nov 14, 2015

Thanks Feliz. - Wennix, Nov 14, 2015

You are welcome, Wennix :) - FELIZ77, Nov 15, 2015

Also, "una de sus nueve vidas " Numbers are not pluralised in Spanish :) - FELIZ77, Nov 15, 2015

and 'ese gato acabA..';) - Pablo064, Nov 15, 2015

Answer 7

Good thinking (idea) cat! Now, let's see if the dog is clever enough to follow suit! (To copy your example!)

¡Buena idea, gata! ¡Bueno, vamos a ver si el perro tiene suficiente inteligenca para imitar (o seguir?) tu ejemplo!

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

:) - Pablo064, Nov 14, 2015

Muchas gracias, Pablo :) - FELIZ77, Nov 14, 2015

Answer 8

Un tipo listo siempre monta unos pocos métodos de huir varias vìas de escape antes de ir a sus asuntos.

A smart cat always sets up a few several escape routes before getting down to his business.

.. 'vías de escape' would be better,,'unos pocos' doesn't fit...I'd say 'un par de vìas de escape...' :) - Pablo064, Nov 13, 2015

How about varias? - bosquederoble, Nov 13, 2015

And I thought montar would be the issue. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 13, 2015

Mucho mejor! not at all, it's used in Spain of course I think I would have said 'siempre pone...' - Pablo064, Nov 14, 2015

Thanks, I almost used planea. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 14, 2015

Answer 9

Del manual de supervivencia de los gatos: Cuandose es perseguido por un perro, si es posible, saltar sobre una tabla de surf y montarlo a la seguridad.

From the cat survival manual: When chased by a dog, if possible jump onto a surfboard and ride it to safety.

(There's something about using infinitives for commands that I don't quite like, but I've been given to understand that it's legitimate. ¿Verdad?)

Ann, I have certainly seen the Spanish use infinitives as commands for notices like, No usar el ascensor en caso de incendio = Do not use the lift in case of fire (used in hotels) - FELIZ77, Nov 14, 2015

..cuando se es perseguido...I'd say montarla a una zona segura..but it's okay - Pablo064, Nov 14, 2015

Gracias, Pablo y Feliz. - AnnRon, Nov 14, 2015

Answer 10

¿Cuál crees que es más inteligente: un perro o un gato?

Which one do you think is cleverer: a cat or a dog?

:) - Pablo064, Nov 13, 2015

No copetition really, who trains it's owner and who gets trained by the owner? - annierats, Nov 13, 2015

Answer 11

Es gracioso - el gato tuvo éxito, así que estamos diciendo que el gato es valiente y el perro es un gallina. Sin embargo, si el gato se hubiese caído al agua, diríamos que el perro es brillante y el gato es tonto.

It's funny - the cat was successful, so we are saying that the cat is brave and the dog is a coward. However, if the cat fell into the water, we would say that the dog is brilliant and the cat's an idiot.

Hhaha yes that is true, good point it depends on your perspective of the outcome! ;) - FELIZ77, Nov 14, 2015

..asì que estamos..se cayera al agua (anyway in Spanish you would say 'si el gato se hubiese caído al agua..) :) - Pablo064, Nov 14, 2015

Gracias Pablo! - Tiffanyrk, Nov 14, 2015

Dog to Cat: .....and stay on your side of the pool.
