Exchange Spanish/English vocabulary

[nuria2012]

 Hi Tany14,

Thank you for your English text. I don´t think that I am going to study Russian, I wish I had time. It has to be a wonderful and interesting language. I wish I could learn five more languages, among them, Russian.     Very kind of you.

If you want to study Spanish, try to translate this text into Spanish, and I could correct your possible mistakes.  Inspite of my English level, I am always learning new English vocabulary, proverbs and so on. I will use this text, Inspite of the fact of having an advanced level, I love finding new vocabulary specific for babies, with their games. Being a non native parent, one can use a possible way to say things, but sometimes it is too literal. For  instance, I learn with your nice text structures such as: hold on tight, there you go, shovel and so on. The part of the beach is wonderful.

Thanks again.

Hi Tany14,

I am going to translate one first part of your text into Spanish language, taking advantage that Nuria is still taking her nap.

Would you like to go on the slide?
Come on, go up.
Very good, sit down now.
Hold on tight and go down!

Fill the bucket with sand.
Now flip it over.
Pat it softly. - Tuk-tuk.
Now lift the bucket.  Slowly!

Choose a mold to  build the tower.

Flip it very slowly.
Take the rake and make  path.
Now, smooth it with your hand.
Take the shovel and dig a moat.

hi, nuriya2012! Thanks for the translation! I think it is necessary not only for me but also for many other parents. Thank you! Best wishes for you and baby Nuriya!

Hi Tany14,
I am very happy that you find useful my translations into Spanish. I can understand you perfectly. Being a non native parent there are many doubts and the translation could be wrong. Yes, I think that there are more parents who are interested in these translations as well.

Please, try to copy more similar texts and in this way, both groups of parents, who speak English and who speak Spanish could be very grateful. Last Sunday, I was on the beach with my little family. Your text is good! Yes, having good level, you can do many things, but sometimes it is necessary something like this to facilitate things.

Well, if you and more people could write texts it would be much better.  I have not much time, because of my mummy, who we have to take care, she is better, but she has to be in hospital more time. I adore her!!

Well, second part.

Now flip it over.  Dale la vuelta (it is totally new for me thanks)
Pat it softly. - Tuk-tuk.dale una palmadita
Now lift the bucket.  Slowly!   Ahora levanta lentamente el cubo
How beautiful! Qué bonito! Qué lindo!
Choose a mold to  build the tower.Elige un molde para hacer/construir la torre

Fill it with sand. Llénalo con arena.
Flip it very slowly.
Take the rake and make  path.
Now, smooth it with your hand.
Take the shovel and dig a moat.
Don’t throw sand!
Look! Here you have shells and stones to decorate the castle.
What  a beautiful castle!

Sorry I have forgotten my remaining doubts written a long time ago

Now my doubts
How do you say, I am going to take the plug  off??? in order that the water runs.???
*Leave that*could be a synonym of Don´t touch that?
Take out your leg out from the basket? Ungrammatical sentence??
Don´t open the LID? of the toilet. Yucky
Put the book ___________???? Pon el libro al derecho/pon el libro bien. Lo tienes al revés.

I would like that someone corrects my mistakes and clear up my querries (above), please.

My baby is a big sponge!!!

Hi nuria2012! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Could you write Spanish phrases for playing with wooden puzzles, those that need to be inserted into the appropriate holes. And  a few phrases to play with beads that you need to string on a string. My son and I really need these phrases. Thank you! 

[Sangeeta Sharma]

Thanks for the really nice information. I like the way you added this information.

[tany14]

Hello everyone! Here are a few phrases in Spanish
"wild animals."

                Los animales salvajes.
Estos  son los animales salvajes.
Veo el leon.
El leon dicen: «Grrr»!
El leon tiene melena.
El leon esta dormiendo.
La jirafa esta alli.
Que cuello mas largo tiene!
Las patas son muy largas tambien!
El elefante esta alli.
Que orejas mas grandes tiene!
Y que trompa mas largo tiene!
Mira, el tigre.
Que boca mas grandes tiene!
El tigre tiene los rayas negras y amarillas.
Mira, el oso!
Es muy grande.

Hi Nuria, I just realized your doubts have not been answered.    I don't know Spanish, so I will try my best.
1. We say "pull the plug" when we are going to drain the sink or tub.
2. Usually I say "leave that alone" or "don't touch that" interchangeably. Either way works well.  It is nicer when said with a "please" or at least a smile!
3. Don't step in the basket.
4. Yes, we would say "don't open the lid of the toilet. It is yucky! Or it is dirty!"
5. This one I am not sure what you mean since I don't know Spanish.  Maybe "Put the book where it belongs" or "put the book on the shelf."  Or "put it next to the red book" etc.

[nuria2012]

Hi, people, a long time without writing in this great forum!!!  After starting work and I have no much time...! Apart from that, the year 2013 was horrible!

Thank you for your answers CVMomma, finally, someone answered my questions!!! Thank you thank you thank you

[c4andy20]

I think the last one is- "Put the book the right way. You have it backwards."

[nuria2012]

Thank you c4 Andy for your answer. I have not been here for a long time.

[nuria2012]

Hello dear parents!!! I wonder if the following sentence is right. Strap the dog.  (Ata al perro) My LO is playing with a dog toy and I have said this sentence.  I am very proud of my daughter. She can speak English.   I am achieving my goal, but I have to learn a lot of the English language...

[Ana I]

Hi Nuria! We are on the same boat. I'm not either a native englsh speaker but I hope this could help you. I think the best sentence is "tied the dog".

Saludos
