Spanish Translation help needed

Was wondering if there was any Spanish speakers on here that would be willing to translate into Spanish a few sentences.

I have tried to use Google and other translation sites and it doesnt seem to come out right.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think I can help you

Hi, Devon Flyer

I'm quite sure I will be able to help you with the Spanish sentences. What sentences do you need to translate?

Depending on the complexity and purpose of the text, I can help, but it may not be grammatically perfect. If it's for legal or professional purposes I would suggest a professional translator.

Another very useful phrase is "Dos cervezas por favor y mi amigo paga."

Just be careful.

An English speaking friend of ours came over to Madrid for a lads weekend and we were in a bar. He asked one of us for the Spanish for : "I need to make a (phone) call ..." and was told to go the barman and say : "Quiero hacerte una mamada por favor.......". In another bar he was set up to ask for a 'dos coños' instead of 'dos cañas.'

Another trap is with the n and the ñ.


As in "cuantos años tienes" and "cuantos anos tienes"

Call the mossos

Lost in translation...

Last year I ambled into a grocery store to buy some spaghetti. Hadn't shaved in a few days so looking a tad, well, scruffy!

¿Tiene pasta? I said to the shop assistant.

She looked worried and shocked. ¿Para comer? she replied obviously a bit nervous. Silly question I thought. What else would I do with pasta.

Afterwards it was explained to me that "pasta" is slang for money so she thought it was a hold up

recuerdos
