Hola,
I never received a reply to my 2nd question below, it starts like this:
"Hello Inma,
Thank you so much for your patience and reply.
I was wondering, is there a way I can find my questions and answers received within my page....."
see below for the full question, thank you.
“pasamos a la nariz” is translated as “let’s do the nose”.
Is this correct?
Hello, when I want to translate "they hit her" (occurring in the past for a period), it is translated as "le pegaban" or "la golpeaban". Why is it an indirect object pronoun for pegar but direct for golpear?
Though most of the English translations here use the future tense, as an American English native speaker it sounds stilted to me. I would normally say, for example, "I hope you come out with us tonight", "I hope they're very happy in their marriage.", and "My brother and I hope that you have lots of luck with the job." To me, this form, which is our very subtle subjunctive present tense, is a more natural translation from the Spanish present subjunctive than the English translations in future tense here.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
El director del colegio, quien trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
(mas informal) El director del colegio, que trabaja duro, es respetado por todos.
¿Todos son correctos?
Can I say menos tiempo instead of menos? Can I also say se tarda mucho menos tiempo (it takes much less time)?
My sentence:
Las chicas se sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande
was corrected to:
Las chicas sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande.
But isn’t sentir a reflexive verb in Spanish? Reflexive verbs are not very common in English.,
Google translate has:
I feel cold (English) – Me siento frio (Español) – Jeg føler mig kold (Danish, my language, which uses reflexion very much like Spanish)
