Le singe est sur la branche.

 

That was basically Latin, so thanks for translating the one sentence I could have translated myself.

El trippy-o.

FO SERIA!

 

ay ay ay ay. canta y no llores. porque cantando si allegra cielito lindo los corazones

jajajajajajaja

 

Let's translate!: "Oh oh oh oh. Sing and don't cry. Because singing makes the sky happy and hearts beautiful." (NB: "Allegra" should be "alegra" with one "l".)

 

And the translation: "I like this thread because I can read Spanish much more easily than I can undrstand it when Spanish speakers speak it to me. Also, when I write it, I can "tomarme much tiempo" and think about the words I want to use.

See? Isn't this fun????

 

i knew that. i just typed it out really fast without care for spelling

darn allergy medication commercials.

You know reading Spanish is a lot easier then trying to follow it.

 

Hola, Dave!

 

Hola, Suz, buenos días. ¿Qué tal estás hoy?

 

Bueno, gracias. (How do I ask you how your morning has been?)

 

It should be "Bien, gracias". The difference between "bien" and "bueno" can be slightly hard to grasp. Bien is an adverb and means "fine" or "well". Bueno/a is an adjective and means "good". If you're asked ¿Cómo estás? the answer should be "bien" or "estoy bien".

And you could use "¿Qué tal te ha ido la mañana?".

 

What about para and por?

 

Ahh, I see. Bien, lo siento(did I apologize correctly?). Qué tal te ha ido la mañana?

NO UPSIDE DOWN QUESTIONMARKS FOR ME, THX

 

Para indicates destination and direction, time, and purpose. Por indicates cause or means.

This is for you = esto es para tí (you are the destinatary of my gift)
This is for another day = Esto es para otro día (indicates time)
I'm going to see you = voy para verte (my purpose is seeing you)
This was done by him = esto fue hecho por él (you are the cause of this)

 

La mañana me ha ido bien, gracias. ¿Qué hora es allí?

PROTIP: As my morning isn't over, I would actually use a transitive structure and say "la mañana me está yendo bien".

 

Seis la manana (I dunno any prepositions, and I'm assuming you were asking me for the time).

 

Yeah, I did, very good. "Las seis de la mañana".

 

Heh, I just got lucky (hora means hour in Latin).

 

Nunca recuedo la diferencia en medio "por" y "para".

David, ¿cualquier persona habla español en la República Checa?


Corrija: La red falla. Intenté utilizar la << >> española en vez de " ", pero no trabajó.
