Please add more context. - rac1, Apr 14, 2016

Staying dry, Rac? ;-) - Winkfish, Apr 14, 2016

This time, I am, but now it's sunny again and beautiful. Yeah!! - rac1, Apr 14, 2016

'I had been ill before the festival so i couldn't go' ? - Louise772, Apr 15, 2016

Answer 1

This one the translator can handle. Give it a shot, post it.

A wonderful opportunity to actually learn something. The translations include both "podía" and "pude" - an inquisitive Louse can research those and go down many interesting paths. - jtaniel, Apr 14, 2016

I thought I knew all the Amirican idioms. "Inquisitive Louse" baffles me. ¿Estás hablando de piojos inquisitivos? - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2016

Typo--American - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2016

And another typo: "Inquisitive Louise"!!! - jtaniel, Apr 14, 2016

A vote from me and to me the "Inquisitive Louise" means that the Louise who posted could find all sorts of things were she motivated to do a little research. - Jubilado, Apr 14, 2016

Ah! I should have taken a second look at the name of the OP. People don't usually give their names as Louise and I do. Sorry, Louise! - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2016

Thanis for the vote, Jubi. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2016

Now, Dani! Have I ever not given you a vote? You who always (well, most of the time) leaves hearts on your comments to me? - Winkfish, Apr 15, 2016

You who always tell me "I done good"? You who ... Ah, well, you get my point! Cheers, Dawlin'!;-) - Winkfish, Apr 15, 2016

on the translator it says ' no puedo ir ' which i don't think is right ? - Louise772, Apr 15, 2016

Answer 2

A basic way to say it is "No pude ir."

I guess I can count on a vote from you. It's weird when I get a comment from somebody, but no vote. - Daniela2041, Apr 14, 2016

Answer 3

no pude ir
