Nadie se nace como maestro de karate. Todo el mundo tiene que empezar en alguna parte.

No one is born a martial arts master. Everyone has to start somewhere.

Si bravo Ann - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 11, 2015

Very droll perspective. ;) - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

PS I'd love to be the guy who puts you over the top for 100K points. ;) - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

Very funny, Bosque :) I guess that if you don't do a good job ...you're in for the 'chop' ! lol - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

:) - Pablo064, Dec 12, 2015

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 12, 2015

:) - sanlee, Dec 12, 2015

By the way, Jrschenk, I love the word droll. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 12, 2015

Answer 3

Primer intento: El sol saldrá por el este, pero pone por el oeste—aquí nos volveríamos a elegir para comprar un cuchillo barato.

Segundo intento: El sol puede salir por el este, pero se pone por el oeste—aquí todos tendríamos que poner para un cuchillo de 99 centavos.

The sun may rise in the east, but it sets in the west—here we would pony up for a .99 cent knife.

There is a way to do things in the east, but a different way to do things in the west—here we would choose to purchase an inexpensive knife.

Jr good post, but what does 'pony up' mean, please? I have never heard that expression in all my life! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

Feliz... "to pay for" note the italicized explanation following the sentence... I often do this for non-native English speakers. - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pony+up - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

Pony up works where I live as well. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 11, 2015

Jr I am a native English speaker lol but we have/use different idioms in British English! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

Jr/Bosque, is this expression, 'pony up' slang or simply American colloquial speech / street talk? - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

Feliz, I am not sure, I have been hearing it all my life, but I have many states (15) spread across the continent. - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

I meant to say "I have lived in many states" - jrschenk, Dec 11, 2015

" I have been hearing it all my life" = I have heard it all my life, to translate for the British English speakers who complained when I said a similar construction sounded okay to me. :D - bosquederoble, Dec 11, 2015

..sol pude salir, pero 'se' pone..I think you could say 'aquí todos tendríamos que poner para un cuchillo de 99 centavos' :) - Pablo064, Dec 12, 2015

*puede not pude - Pablo064, Dec 12, 2015

:) - sanlee, Dec 12, 2015

Gracias, Pablo, I worked so hard to be so wrong, but I can see that this is much better! Thanks! ;) - jrschenk, Dec 12, 2015

Answer 5

She has a black belt in Kung Fu! She is actually a master of the 7th grade (7th Dan) Nobody insults her and lives to tell the tale! If you think she is fast now, wait 'til you see her taking on all the guys at the club at the same time...she leaves them literally fighting for breath!

Con correcciones:

¡Tiene cinta negra con en Kung Fu! ¡En realidad, es una maestra del grado siete (7)!Nadie la insulta y cuenta el cuento (o sale con vida)! ¡Si crees que se mueve rápidamente ahora, espera hasta que la veas enfrente a todos los tipos (o hombres) en el club al mismo tiempo ...de verdad, los deja costando muchísimo respirar!

Editor's note: I had great difficulty in knowing how to translate three parts of my post: 1.knowing which verb to say she is fast now. Do I use the verb to fight...because she fights rapidly in the club or do I use the verb: to move which covers both the actions of chopping the bread and fighting in the club? 2. wait 'til you see her taking on all the guys 3 The hardest of all: She leaves them literally fighting for breath . ..tiene cinta negra en Kung..se mueve..veas enfrente not 'se'.. - Pablo064 19 hrs ago

Muchas gracias, por tus correcciones

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Nickel, my mind/intentions were pure when I wrote it. I am not responsible for how people interpret it! ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

I know mate sorry NB ruined the way I should think. - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 11, 2015

That's okay, don't worry, Nickel, nearly all of us guys struggle with those kind of thoughts at times, when we are tempted! Please, just remember that the context determines the meaning in languages.This context is about making bread and martial arts! - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

Not just context, but it influences meaning in a big way! - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015

Quick question did you mean guys as people or guys as in men ? - Nickelbackfan1, Dec 11, 2015

Guys as in men which is why I translated it as tipos or hombres, :) but that was the easy part :) - FELIZ77, Dec 11, 2015
