Answer 1

The mother is speaking to her daughter: "Let me see your 'selfie' that you have just posted on your "facebook"profile! Yes, I know (am aware that).you would like a boyfriend but you won't get (find) a good one by lying about your age....anyone could tell at a glance that you're not 16 yet! I think you should learn to be more honest first, don't you?!"

La madre está hablando con su hija: "¡Déjame ver tu 'selfie' que acabas de poner en tu perfil de 'Facebook'! ¡Sí, me doy cuenta de que te gustaría tener un novio pero no vas a encontrar un buen novio por mentir acerca de tu edad ...qualquier persona con solo echar un vistazo podría darse cuenta de que ya (o todavía?) no has cumplido 16 años de edad! ¡Creo que primero deberías aprender a ser más honesto cuando hablas de tu edad ¿no!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Feliz: Very nice. I think por mentir works OK. You could also replace "por mentir" with "mintiendo" which would act as an adverb of vas a encontrar and would translate as "by lying" (without using por) - DilKen, May 18, 2017

Thank you, Ken :) - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

Answer 2

Espeja, espeja en mis manos, ¿quién es el puto de madre más malvado en toda la selva?

Papá, primero, necesitas decir "OK Google" o "Siri"

Mirror, mirror in my hands, who is the meanest SOB in all the jungle?

Dad, first you need to say "OK Google" or "Siri"

I went to camp as a child in Wisconsin and some camp members were from Mexico. I seem to recall them using the phrase puto de madre. Like many memories of my childhood, I wish I would forget. lol - Sassette, May 18, 2017

I know it's a little naughty but I thought I'd take a chance - DilKen, May 18, 2017

I'm ok with it. It just brought up a childhood memory, that's all. - Sassette, May 19, 2017

Answer 3

"Papá, lo tienes de atras al frente."

Answer 4

¿Papá,es el ipad mejor que la tableta ?

Dad, is the ipad better than the tablet?

Answer 5

El cuidado parental sufre mucho cuando los padres pasar demasiado tiempo enviando mensajes de texto en sus teléfonos celulares en vez de interactuando interactuar con sus bebés.

Parental care suffers a lot when parents spend too much time sending text messages on their cellphones instead of interacting with their babies.

¡Muy bien dicho, Bosque! ;) - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

Bosque: I could be wrong, but I think you need to use the infinitive - interactuar - instead of the gerundio here :) - DilKen, May 18, 2017

I was mentally still working off pasar and contrasting with enviando. But since it follows a preposition, I suspect you are right. :) - bosquederoble, May 18, 2017

Yes, the infinitivo is needed here ....interactuar :) - FELIZ77, May 18, 2017

Answer 6

Esta foto demuestra que los simios evolucionaron de los humanos.

This photo proves that apes evolved from humans.

Answer 7

The adult gorilla is using the mobile phone. Meanwhile, the young gorilla is looking at the portable screen. El gorila adulto está utilizando el teléfono móvil. Mientras tanto, el gorila joven está mirando la pantalla del móvil.

N K M you can use while in English and mientras in Spanish here if you join the two sentences. If you start a new sentence you need to say Meanwhile and Mientras tanto. - DilKen, May 18, 2017

Answer 8

Los niños siempre quieren ayudar a sus padres a descubrir la nueva tecnología.

Kids always want to help their parents figure out new technology.

Answer 9

Mama, dije no fotos!

Mom, I said no pictures!

Kristen: I believe, in Spanish, we need to insert "que" in this type of sentence. dije que no fotos. I know, it doesn't seem to make sense to an English speaker, but that's how it's done. - DilKen, May 18, 2017

Even to say: I said no! You would write Dije que no! - DilKen, May 18, 2017

Also, with decir it is customary to include the indirect pronoun of the person you are speaking to: Mama, ¡te dije que no fotos! - DilKen, May 18, 2017

Bueno, hijo, dice aquí que evolucionamos de algo llamado Purgatorius. ¡Parece una rata! ¿Sobre qué esos seres humanos tontos pensarán a continuación?

Well, son, it says here that we evolved from something called Purgatorius. It looks like a rat! What will those silly humans think of next?
