Spanish speakers!??

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I have some questions for my spanish paper.

How do you say...:

Government
Population
Flag ( I think it's bandera, just making sure )


Many more probably to come!

[dogs_4_me]

I think government is gobierno

población-population

and yes i think flag is bandera

I haven't done spanish for years so I this may be wrong:p

Yeah, that's what I got from the translator too, just making sure. I don't have much faith in online translators.. :p

I also need the word Republic as in Government.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Does this make sense so far? Yes, it is due tomorrow, and yes, it has to be a page, and yes this is all I have. :p

El capital de Guatemala es Guatemala City. Guatemala es muy grande porque el poblacion es mas que 12 millon. Guatemala es la cuidad con el poblacion mas.

I will add accents when I print it out.

My school doesn't have a Spanish class, so I have no clue.

When I first glanced at the thread, though, I thought it said Spanish Sneakers. :rolleyes:

Good luck, Megan!

Another question...

Diverse? I'm talking about culture, and I need the words diverse, buildings, ancient, jewelry, ceramics/pottery.

Thanks!

CORRECT!

GREAT SITE...


Ancient-antiguo

People-gente



Don't go for huge chunks of translation on this site.....use words....works better that way!!

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

How would you say "The population is mostly mestizos."

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

another question:

I want to say:

"The men and children of guatemala dress similar to the men and children of the united states."

I have:

"Los hombres y ninos de Guatemala _______ igual de los hombres y ninos de Estados Unidos."

[BCBlondie]

"Los hombres y ninos de Guatemala vesten igual de los hombres y ninos de Estados Unidos."

That's my guess... I don't remember much.. I dropped out of Spanish in high school... (I took it for almost 4 years, but I couldn't stand that last teacher)

[koxka]

diverse, buildings, ancient, jewelry, ceramics/pottery.

Diverse: Distinto, diferente.
Ancient : Antiguo
Jewelry: Joyerìa, joyas
Ceramics: Ceramica(s)
Pottery: Alfarerìa


El capital de Guatemala es Guatemala City. Guatemala es muy grande porque el poblacion es mas que 12 millon. Guatemala es la cuidad con el poblacion mas.

LA Capital de Guatemala es la Ciudad de Guatemala.
Guatemala es muy grande porque tiene una poblaciòn DE mÃ_s (with accent) DE doce millones(de habitantes?). Guatemala es la ciudad con mayor poblaciòn (del pais?)



"The men and children of guatemala dress similar to the men and children of the united states."

Los hombres y niños de Guatemala vIsten parecido/ similar a los hombres y niños de los Estados Unidos(in capitals)

Abby it will help when you ask for a word write down ALL the sentence in order to know the contexte. It may varies.


The accents go from "rigts to left" for some reason I can't find it on the keyboard.:rolleyes:

You can freely PM me when you have any question about Spanish. I will gladly help you .....but most DEFINETLY don't do your homework! ;)

Well , now, you can correct my english!!! :D


RICHARD: You got a 9 out of 10 . :p

Koxka ,

I'll take 90% any time!!


And I was thinking about where someone could find Spanish Speakers......

Where else! on a .................


Mexican Radio
By Wall of Voodoo

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
and the touch of a world that is older
I turn the switch and check the number
I leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand, just what does he say?

I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio
I'm on a Mexican radio
I'm on a Mexican - whoah - radio

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende, it's a riddle

I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbecued iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand, just what does he say?

I'm on a Mexican radio

Radio, radio,
Radio, radio...
(what does he say?)


:D
