You're very welcomeOriginally Posted by Berna
Thank you so much Mares, now I start to understand because the verb must be 'soler' but in diccionary I found it as 'solar' and it made me confused.... That happens to me with English sometimes, especially with those evil regular verbs
hehehe... English makes the same with me, I can't think that fast as I do in Spanishooops, I didn't see your response Mares, Spanish makes me think 3x as long as English, that is why I avoid translation from Eng. to Spa.

what are you gals doing btw? I just finished my breakfast, Berna is probably getting ready for dinner and you Mares, for lunch.
I'm still having my breakfast!!! Ahhhh! here is a difference with English:
"Estoy desayunando"
"I'm having (a) breakfast" (Teniendo un desayuno suena raro en Español, pero no creo que sea incorrecto) -
Tengo hambre para cena, Originally Posted by istanbulgal

-
I'm hungry: estoy hambrienta (but estoy hambrienta is more similar to: I'm starving, like you're dying of hunger.. but not sure...)
I've (got) hunger: tengo hambre

"Evil regular verbs?". Does that mean you love the irregular ones?. Originally Posted by MaresLejanos

Ohhh! I forgot a "i" there!!!! I do prefer the regular ones!!! hehehehe...
Have you seen the verb in Spanish "Caber".. It's soooo annoying!!!!

One of the worst irregular verbs in my language... I know it because it's my mother tongue, but if I should learn it I could drive crazy with it!!! -
yes all of these irregular verbs drive me crazy
in Turkish there isn't any irregular verbs
Before I didn't start to learn Spanish, I thought that English irregular verbs were very difficult then I started to learn Spanish, oh my God! the irregular verbs change for every tenses and persons. Ahhh really very hard. -
Yes!!!! I didn't realize it until I had to teach it or explain it... It's pretty hard in Spanish, but not impossible
I always use the RAE page to can find all the conjugations when I a have a doubt, fortunately my doubts are few and with not common verbs and tenses.
English has just 3 columns for verbs: the infinitive, the past simple and the past participle... Spanish is worth in this area.. But Spanish is easy to read, the letters doens't change de sound, except in few cases, and English there aren't rules for sounds and the same letter or group of letters sound different according to the word, so the worst of English is pronuntiation, the worst of Spanish is conjugation!! -

2-Es algo extraño lo q dices sobre la segunda frase!!! Bueno. Gracias por la info. Pero asi no podre completar la traduccion de la cancion al arabe : (... No se si esta bien dicho : لقد تعبت من تكبرك... اذهب وبلغ أمك سلامي!!!! It gives since, pero no se si esta bien traducirla asi. : o
Te cansé. Perdon : o

Tengo pregunta : D: "veme" significa "go"
P.S: jajaja Gracias. : D Es un diccionario pequño y no tiene todas las palabras q necesito lol y es de espaniol arabe solo no tiene lo contrario.
Es un regalo de una amiga q era en El Cairo
1-. Muy bien
2-. Si, es un poco raro, pero así es esto de los idiomas
لقد تعبت من تكبرك está bien
pero ... اذهب وبلغ أمك سلامي no es adecuada, ya que de acuerdo a la letra de la canción quien canta está furioso y no le está diciendo a la otra persona que por favor le de su salam a su mamá, sino le está diciendo algo muy feo porque desea ofender, lastimar y no volver a ver a esa persona nunca.
En cuanto a "veme" puede ser (como Zahra ya te dijo):
-del verbo "to look at" ("ver"), en imperativo "ve"+ "me"=veme
-del verbo "to go" ("ir"), en imperativo "ve". Casi siempre va solo y creo que estrictamente hablando es incorrecto aumentarle el pronombre al final (convirtiendolo en "veme") pero a pesar de esto la gente a veces lo dice así
Ahhh, ¡te falta la segunda parte del diccionario!!! Pero bueno, ya tienes la más importante

I know it was probably a typo, right?

It means "I'm very courageous/brave". Originally Posted by Berna

In Mexico at least, "tener algo bien puesto" is used for emphasizing the idea of courage: "Juan tiene los pantalones bien puestos"=Juan doesn't allow anybody to boss him around, he's got guts.“If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.” ― Terry Pratchett. -
If you translate tengo el valor bien puesto literally it would sound weird, but he's saying that his courage/valor is ready. like he's ready for anything that comes

We say: Originally Posted by citlalli

In Spain they usually say:
"Tengo los cojones bien puestos"
But that phrase "tengo el valor bien puesto" really confused me
-
Yes, also in Mexico we say "tener los huevos/pantalones bien puestos", but we don't say it with "ovarios"
thus it sounds funny to me ... and well, we know the spanish version but we don't use it...

Well, in fact about ovarios is certainly new Originally Posted by citlalli

It appeared when men started joking to women when they say "tengo lso huevos bien puestos", they treated women like men , so just to prevent it we say that ... But I like better pantalones heheheh

LOL me too, I prefer "pantalones" or "calzones"
