Well, I'm telling you all that I feel like my husband doesn't love me because I had an argument about my other kid's behavior because he says that I didn't raise them right but...
El otro día un chico me dijo:
- A mí me gusta "yo tuve".
Se refería a "you tube".
Casi no entendí nada.
That was easy jeje
Pues les cuento que siento que mi marido no me quiere porque tuve una discusión sobre la educación de mis otros niños porque él dice que no lo educó bien pero...
Well, I told them that I feel that my husband doesn't love me because I had a discussion (with him) about the education of my other kids, because he says that I did not raise him well (Her first child I suppose), but...
As nobody else wants to give it a shot:
here are two more answers
Patch:
Ok.... I'm telling you that I feel my husband doesn't love me because I had an argument about how I raise my other kids because he says I don't raise them well.
and this one by bosque:
(I am) sad because I had an argument with my husband.
Well, I am telling you all that I feel that my husband does not love me because I had an argument about the upbringing of my other children because he says that I don't raise/teach him (the newest?) well but...
I wonder if Spanish "baby language" is the same in all Spanish-speaking countries
j
¡ Qu´e nena pochocha!
El nene tene hamde.
Quero papa.
jajajajajaja lol lol lol
Somebody should teach English "baby language".
(estoy) triste porque tuve una discusión con mi marido
Pues les cuento: que mi marido no me quiere porque tuve una discusión sobre la educación de mis otros niños, porque él dice que no los educo bien.
!) I believe , as the as at the end of "los" is hardly not pronounced in other countries, she meant "los educo".
2) The first sentence was not well interpreted. (les cuento...), that mistake was made by everybody.
the best option would probably be: let me explain or "here goes..."
3) Mark, you used the wrong tense.
4) Feliz, you said : then let I tell them...
This was it:
I am sad because I had a fight /an argument with my husband
let me tell you/ok, I am going to tell you/let me explain/here goes: I feel that my husband doesn't love me because I had an argument (with him) about the upbringing of my other kids, because he says that I am not doing a good job /I am not educating them well.
So far two takers...have a go at it, as the answers are not completely correct ![]()
My question is; why did she say "otros niños if she wasn't talking about another niño? and doesn't the translation of "I raise him up well" work too? Thanks!
Hi Mark, I said this in my answer:
!) I believe , as the as at the end of "los" is hardly not pronounced in other countries, she meant "los educo".
Lo educo makes no sense, so as she writes just likes she pronounces, I am not surprised to see the "S" missing.
Look, both Alba and Patch instinctively answered: teach them well...
Both have had contact with a lot of hispanics.
Hi Heidita!
I agree with you regarding the translation of "les cuento"= I tell you (plural) [or Os cuento] But we translated "Lo educó" to "raise him" because of two reasons:
1- We saw the lo and 2- The woman said; "Mis otros niños" which indicated that there is niños y otros niños...
My question is; why did she say "otros niños if she wasn't talking about another niño? and doesn't the translation of "I raise him up well" work too? Thanks!
How about,
Let me tell you, I feel like my husband doesn't love me because I had an argument with him about the manners of my other children and he said that they don't have good manners...
Is that close?
!Jaja!
That reminds me when my then wife went to the store to look for pork hocks. Pork hocks, saeurkraut, and dumplings are typical German cuisine.

Thank you for posting this puzzle, Heidi:
I will give it my best shot (sttempt):
La frase entera: (the whole sentence)
Pues les cuento que siento que mi marido no me quiere porque tuve una discusión sobre la educación de mis otros niños porque el dice que no lo educó bien pero
= Then I tell them that I feel that my husband does not love me because I had a discussion about the education of my other children because he says that I did not educate him well.
El pasaje: (the excerpt) Triste porque tuve una discusión sobre la educación de mis otros niños porque el dice que lo educó bien pero
= Sad because I had a discussion (arguement) about the education of my other children (or boys) because he says that I did not educate (bring him up) him well but.....
Are there not at least two other mistakes in the text above, Heidi ....shouldn't it be los = them, to match (correspond to) los niños and educaron: "dice que no los educaron bien pero..
Perhaps she said that her husband only mentioned or referred to one child that he did that she did not bring up well
Lo educo makes no sense, so as she writes just likes she pronounces, I am not surprised to see the "S" missing.
What is it with the Spanish "S" by the way? A Spanish woman once told me that there are many variants of it in her country alone. At the end of words it tends get swallowed. Mind you, where I'm from we butcher all of our consonants so I shouldn't talk.
"Lo educo" could mean "I educate/raise him", right? For example...
-¿Qué haces con tu estudiente?
-Lo educo (Obviously not possible because we're talking about los niños).
That caused me confusion at first
I sent you a PM Heidi. Please be gentle with me
