What Is This Questions Asking?

Question

I am working on my homework and the cultura questions is about a reading of "Spas Naturales" and "Las frutas y La Salud".

I've looked up the translation on 5+ sites, and still don't understand what the following question is asking:

Una argentina te dice: "Voy a usar la cinta". ¿Qué va a hacer?

Can you please let me know what the question is asking? (a translation that makes sense please!)

Thank you for your time!

Well really , why dont you give us your translation and then we can correct it for you , we are not in the habit of doing your homework for you . - ray76, Dec 2, 2015

Honestly, the only difficulty I had was figuring out what exactly "cintar" means in Argentina. I wasn't sure if it meant ribbon, tape, measuring tape, etc. I appreciate you not giving me a direct answer and helping me trying to figure it out on my own. - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

Had you looked it up in a dictionary you would have seen that"cinta" means "tape". That is why we try to get you to do the work yourself , just try different spellings and you find it . - ray76, Dec 2, 2015

I meant 'cinta', accidentally misspelled it. Like I said above, I wasn't sure if it meant tape or measuring tape, which are two different things and require different answers. I did look it up on SpanishDict, it had several meanings. - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

I wasn't what it meant in the context, and wanted a second perspective. That's all. Like I said, should've phrased the question differently. I wasnt looking for an easy answer. Sorry if you felt like I was. - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

Answer 1

A argentinan tells you: "Im going to use the measuring tape/tape." "What is she going to do?"

Thank you so much; I greatly appreciate it! - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

I wonder if their class teacher would approve or their class mates ? - ray76, Dec 2, 2015

I am taking an online class and the professor usually takes 3-4 days to reply (it's so far about to be the fourth day). Also, I only had a problem with what cintar meant specifically (I searched several website trying to find out if it meant something.... - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

specific but nothing came up that helped me). I should've specified that in my question, so sorry about that. - adorabledoggies, Dec 2, 2015

If you had used Google translate you would have got the "correct" answer. - ian-hill, Dec 2, 2015

In the UK we don't say "measuring tape" we say "tape measure". - - ian-hill, Dec 2, 2015

when i said tape i meant as in the one that ou stick papers onto the window - Rey_Mysterio, Dec 2, 2015
