Traducción

People 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.
