[Waku]

Here's something I think you'll find quite useful to post with us:

No me toques los cojones!

(do not break my balls)

[Chris 62]

I suppose it's something funny a tv/movie char says but it means I don't have spanish, you probably refer to yo no entiendo español = I don't (can't) understand spanish

BTW, can anyone translate this:

En Cai hay que mamar!

[Exile]

Well, Waku . . .

I learned what little espanol I know in college and we were team-taught in a summer-intensive course. Unfortuneately, the team was composed and a Texan, a Cuban, and a Castilian. So yes, we were told that the literal translation of "Yo no tengo . . . " was "I don't have . . . " but that the actual colloquial translation was, when referring to language, "I don't (speak) . . . "

So there. Blame it on a university education.

Salutations,
Exile

Theatre of identity.

"Varias obras en cartel indagan sobre las masacres del siglo XX y sus victimas."

Several plays on show talk about the massacres of the 20th century and their victims.

Chris my sentence was "Civil Guards are the less efective because their sticks aren´t enough long"

And what about this one:

"tres tristes tigres comian trigo en un trigal"

If you think that it is easy, please try to pronunce it quickly

[Chris 62]

let's have a go...

Three

tristes

Trusty?

tigres

Tigers

comian trigo

not sure

en un trigal"I

Something about wheat, or a wheat field?
So all together 'Three trusty tigers in a wheat field'?

[kIndal]

Re: let's have a go...

The traslating is:
"three sad tigers eat wheat in a wheat field"
Pronouncing it very quickly is almost imposible, try a chance.

[Chris 62]

More, please...

Come on guys, I need more! Your not quitting on ol' Chris, are ya?

[Waku]

Ok Chris! try this one:

Con las bombas que tiran los fanfarrones se hacen las gaditanas tirabuzones

As I think isn't gonna be easy here u can find some help:
fanfarrón=bragger (refers to the French)
gaditana=girl from Cadiz
tirabuzón=special hair dressing

[kIndal]

Re: More, please...

If you haven´t lied about your preferences in JB´s scenarios you know this one.
And it is very, very easy

"Cuando AlmerÃa era AlmerÃa, Granada era su alqueria"

[Chris 62]

Waku's first..

with the

bombas

pumps?

que tiran los

that they threw?

fanfarrones

bragger

se hacen las

don't know

gaditanas

girl from Cadiz

tirabuzones

Special hair dressing.

Altogether: with the pumps that they threw, the braggers _____girl from cadiz special hair dressing.

Now this is a guess: The way they (the French) played, they were like a girl from cadiz with egg on their face?

That's a hard one, Waku.

[Chris 62]

And now Kindal's...

Grenada was Alqueria?

Something about the Punic wars, but what?
