Can anybody help with this:
To believe, to believe that what is said is true is what is important to step the next road.
Creer, creer que lo que se dice es verdad es lo que es importante para dar un paso en el camino siguiente.
Is this right?!Last edited by selenity; 06-14-2009 at 12:40 PM.

But any way, it's pretty good since my point of view

I've heard in Argentina: "¿Te comieron la lengua los ratones?", when somebody doesn't talk. But I'm not sure if in other countries people use the same expression.
-
I have read "¿Te comió la lengua el gato?", so I don't know, maybe "el gato" is more used than "el ratón" ...
-
Hello!!
In México we also say "¿Te comió la lengua el ratón?" (or in plural too, just like Mares' sentence ). I've never heard it with "gato" in my country; but maybe in other places they use "gato" instead of "ratón"....

How interesting! Thanks Citlalli y Mares. What's the best way to say "what's the matter"? Originally Posted by citlalli

"What's the matter?"
If you want it to sound very mexican: "¿Qué onda?"
If not: "¿Qué pasa?"

Ahh ok, so Qué onda will come across as "what's the matter" and not "what's up"? Originally Posted by citlalli

What's the difference between qué pasa y qué paso. Is que pasa like saying "what's up" (present) and que paso is more like "what happened" (past) ? -
Yes, that's right, "qué pasó" is past. Originally Posted by Angelbuns

What is the word for miscommunication
I have another question - what is the word for 'miscommunication'? ie: "it was a miscommunication". I can't even find it in the English dictionary. !
-
hehehe, I think it could be translated like: "mala comunicación"
, as misunderstood means "mal entendido"
Between, I like this English dicionary:

Good morning! Originally Posted by Angelbuns

You know, like in english, if it's nothing serious, like between friends or siblings you can use "¿qué onda?" for "what's the matter?"; but if it's in a more formal context then maybe it's better to use "¿qué pasa?" (eg when adressing your boss, a policeman, etc.)
If my attempt to clarify this is still not clear enough just let me know, ok?
Have a nice day
