Does anyone speak spanish?
 
?

A little... but I'm sure there are people on this board that speak it a *lot* better than me... Audrey, for one, I think...

zenbabe 07-16-2004 11:44 PM

If anyone does, can you tell me how to say "Don't call me back until you learn to speak english!" ?

lapietra 07-16-2004 11:52 PM

HA!

"No me llame detrás hasta que usted aprende hablar inglés!"

Audreyvgs 07-17-2004 03:31 AM

That was pretty good!!!

say it the way its spelled, and you'll have yourself an insult!



:p

I dont want to say it until I have it right..otherwise I will be an arsehole and they wont even know it...but it is really starting to piss me off!

I had this problem at work a couple of years ago... the phrase I was told to use was "numero equivocado"

pronouned:

"noo may ro ay kee vo ka do"

... if you want to be nice

Lala, that's pretty good, but did you use a translation site? "Detrás" certainly means back but usually you use it to mean "behind," as in "behind the house."

I'd probably say "No me llame de nuevo [again] usted hasta que aprende hablar inglés."

(pron. - No may yah'-may day nway'-voh ooh-stayd' ah'-stah kay ah-prayn'-day ah-blar' een-glayse'.)

My Spanish is pretty rusty, but I think that's right.

(Doesn't número equivocado mean "wrong number?")

What the hell is this about? You have my interest piqued! ;)

Sorry! LOL!

You gotta be careful with the straight-out-of-the-dictionary translations. Did I tell you about travelling in Mexico with my mother, and whenever anyone asked me who she was, I said "Es mi madre."

Then whoever I said it to would crack up and poke his friend and have a grand old laugh, obviously at my expense, and I had no idea what was going on.

After about five days of this happening, someone explained that in that area, you call your mother "mi mamá." The standard definition " mi madre" for "my mother" was what you said to refer to your "main squeeze," or your "old lady."

I think my face was beet red for two days after I found out. :rolleyes:

I'm getting visions of old guys wearing straw hats hawking bad wine.

They were after Larry Dumbo for a while.

Weren't Raul and Julio Gallo Italian? Or do you mean Raul Julia? I think he died. Was he after Dalton Trumbo?
