TraducciónPeople of Blogland, those of you that have been following will know that I have been brushing up my extremely dusty Spanish. Amongst my efforts I am working my way through some amusing verb drills/translation exercises. Here are today’s gems of lexical and syntaxic beauty:
1. Tell me my friend, are you depressed? (
estar)
2. He admits (
admitir) that sometimes he takes a nap at work but he does not admit when he makes a mistake (
un error)
3. They (fem plural) are in a bad mood (estar de mal humor) because the television set is broken (
estar dañado) and therefore (
por eso) they are bored.
4. Hamburgers and French fries are very popular in the United States (
en los Estados Unidos)And my favourite:
5. How much truth do you possess? (
la verdad)
I’m having so much fun. (pasarlo bien, diverstirse.) Although I still don’t know how much truth I possess. Do you?
In other news, I'm having a kick ass week end with my Special Lady Friend, thank you very much. We made risotto, too.
