Oh - were my first 2 sentences correct in the first post? I'm always in shock when I don't make any mistakes lol. Here they are again:

Quieres que te ayude?
Do you want me to help you?

Cuanto tiempo has estudiado español?
How long have you studied Spanish?

Cuanto tiempo has estado estudiando español?
How long have you been studying Spanish?

Yes, they are perfect

Can someone tell me what these sentences say? They're text messages from a friend and at times he spells things incorrectly or writes the word how it sounds instead....

Haber como te va a ir conmigo y pancho. (I don't think haber is correct)

Osea que no te la vas a acabar conmigo, por estos barrios.

Que te voy hagarrar por mi barrio y te voy a besar.

The first one I didn't understand so I asked if he could say it another way and then came the next 2.

Thank you, this is driving me nuts wondering!

A ver como te va a ir conmigo y pancho. (I don't think haber is correct)
Let's see how it will go to you with Pancho and I

O sea que no te la vas a acabar conmigo, por estos barrios.
(that's not exactly a normal Spanish sentence, that is an idiom, and we don't have it here, so I have not idea what that means... I understand something like "you aren't going to finish (something) with that person", but really... I have not idea what means, even when Spanish is my language )

Que te voy a agarrar por mi barrio y te voy a besar.
So I'll take you in my neighborhood and I'll kiss you.

I think I get what he's saying, he was teasing me. And without context it might be misinterpreted. Thanks Mares! "A ver" AH HA!

You're welcome! =D

I have a couple questions regarding a text message I received.

The context is about some self portraits I took.

Here is the text: "En donde te las tomas."

Even though there's no question mark, I think it's a question.

I'm pretty sure it says "where do you take them"

I have a couple questions I was hoping someone could also answer:

What is the difference between "en donde" and "de donde". In this case, would saying "de donde" be incorrect?

Is the "te" there to signify that I took the photos of myself? Ie: "where did you take the photos (of yourself)."

Thanks for helping!

Yes, it's a question and it means exactly what you said.

"¿(En) dónde?"="where?" and "¿De dónde?"="Where from?" Examples:

En dónde:

-¿En dónde compraste esos zapatos?
*¿Dónde compraste esos zapatos?

In many cases it's possible to leave out the preposition "en". The above mentioned sentences for instance have exactly the same meaning.



De dónde:
-¿De dónde sacaste ese dinero?
-¿De dónde sabe mi número de teléfono?

The preposition "de" can't be left out.


In your case, it'd be possible to say "¿de dónde te las tomas?", but only under certain circumstances, as it'd require another context and would take on a different meaning. It could be said if the person asking you is with you in the studio or the room where the photos were taken and he/she wants to know the precise place where the camera was and where you stood/sat. However, under other circumstances (like if the person is just asking about the location of the studio) it's incorrect to say "de dónde".

I think "inmundo" means something a little stronger than dirty.....

I would go for "filthy"
