walking home

Question

I'm trying to translate a joke into Spanish which starts:
Two women are walking home...
How would one describe 'home' here, as a concept (as they live at different houses)
Dos mujeres están caminando hacía sus casas?
I am presuming also that (as in English) you can tell the joke in present tense describing the narrative as it happens

Answer 1

Bueno, tengo la primera linea

Answer 2

tad said:

Bueno,Esto son dos mujeres (que están un poca borracha) que van a casa y al camino nececitan ir al baño.Esta es la primera linea, ¿está bien? (¿pocas borrachas')

Esto son dos mujeres algo borrachas que de camino a casa necesitan ir al baño.....

Answer 3

Bueno,
Esto son dos mujeres (que están un poca borracha) que van a casa y al camino nececitan ir al baño.

Esta es la primera linea, ¿está bien? (¿pocas borrachas')

Answer 4

Thanks. I knew after I posted my question that the I was barking up the wrong tree. If it had been a usage like I suspected, It wouldn't have been estos, but estas, and stil wouldn't have made sense to spanish ears. I was hearing the beginning of an english joke: "These two women are walking down the street,"or more commonly:"these two guys walk into a bar."

It's probably a dumb question, but consider the source.

Answer 8

Yeah, I'd like to know that too... my first thought was "that should be estas"... followed closely by "well, surely Lazarus knows what he's talking about and I'm mistaken". But I'd love to hear why it should go that way!

Answer 9

Why does the sentence begin with esto. Since there are two women I would think it would be estos. It's probably a dumb question, but consider the source.

Una vez que aterrizó el avión, también puedes decir: "¡Estoy en casa!", aunque literalmente no hayas llegado a tu casa.

Ah. Bueno. Gracias de nuevo AiFoS.

Answer 12

Tengo otra pregunta. Cuando regreso a Inglaterra de España por ejemplo, puedo decir 'I'm home!' en el momento que el avión aterriza, aunque, claro, no estoy en casa. ¿Hay palabra en español que exprese esta situación? o solo se puede decir "Estoy en México" o algo así.

Answer 13

AiFoS said:

Si no quieres especificar, puede quedar simplemente:

"Dos mujeres van caminando hacia su casa".

"Dos mujeres van camino a casa".

They are going home = Ellas van camino a casa.

Gracias por tu ayuda

AiFoS said:

Dos mujeres van caminando hacia sus respectivas casas.

Thanks.
Just in case, I want to clarify that I don't need to specify that they live at separate houses just that they 'are going home' -a general statement. This sense of home can't be translated directly'
