Newbie - How do you say...?

tykes123

"navigar la red" works in colombia

¿Cómo se dice "You think you could help me with my Spanish?"  

"¿Tú pensar tú puedes sírvete mí con mi Español?" O

"¿usted le piensa podría ayudarme con mi español alguna vez?" O

"¿Crees que podría ayudarme con mi español?"

The fist one I translated on my own with a dictionary the other two came from online translators, I'm sure there riddled with errors.

Kevinryn, I'd say (if informal) "¿Me podrías ayudar con mi español?"

I'm sure there are many other ways as well  :)

I've heard "navegar por la red" (not navigar), or "por el internet" or just "navegar por Internet".  "Navegar en la internet".  (I've heard la and el for the article).  There's more as well!

¿Cómo se dice "would you want to get ice cream with me?"

"¿le gustaría obtener helado conmigo?"  ¿Correcto?

Same as Joanna175 - No se cómo...(I have just started learning so there we are - still very helpful, and I am starting already to be matching words up.) ¡¡Muchas Gracias!!

kevinryn,

if you're treating someone to ice cream, you might say

Te invito a un helado.  Let's get ice cream, I'm buyin'

or if you just want them to come along with you:

Vamos a comer un helado.  Let's go get an ice cream.

como se dice?... I love tennis

davidhj

I would say

Me encanta tenis.

como se dice... "how do you say that in Spanish?" when you aren't naming a specific noun?

swaffie,

you can say "¿Cómo se dice eso?"

Hope that helps!

Thanks JP, that makes sense.

Now, if I want to say "how do you say it in Spanish?", again not referring to a specific noun by name, but in the context of a conversation would it be "¿Cómo se lo/la dice?"

Swaffie

Hola swaffie.

If it's already understood what it is you're talking about, and you simply want to ask "how do you say it in Spanish"  you could say...

¿Y en español?  ¿Cómo se dice?  or you could just say ¿cómo se dice en español?

This is a case where there isn't a direct translation for the word "it".  The word "it" is already included in the conjugation  Se dice...it is said

hola

I have a question about the distinction that was raised about "d" in different words (todo, for example).  I know in Spanish spoke in Spain there is more of a tendency to blur the line between "d" and "th", and that is not as present in Spanish spoken elsewhere.  

Should we just pick whichever we're comfortable with and stick with it?  Also, are there specific cases where the d is always soft?

I'm new to the site, so maybe I haven't found it yet, but do you have a breakdown of different pronounciations by country?  I know enough that Cuban Spanish can sound wildly different from Mexican Spanish from Castillian Spanish, etc.  I'd love some help here.

Thanks!

I agree with your observation.  And there are places, especial in the Caribbean where “d”s at the end of words disappear altogether.  There is a formal rule for when “d” is pronounced similar to an English th and when it is pronounce more like an English D.

There was a Pa’ Que Sepas lesson on this but I can not find it.

the word anglicism exists also in English as far as I know...

I checked wordReference and they say that the Spanish word is anglicismo.

peace homie!!!

The expansion includes the following sentence:

Se lo voy a decir. I am going to tell him.

Can this also mean: I am going to tell her. or I am going to tell them.

And would the following be correct?

Se los voy a decir. I am going to tell him (the stories).

jeraldina, tienes razón. para aclarar la frase puedes decir:  Se los voy a contar a el.

I think contar would be a better choice for to tell stories.

Gracias por contestar mi pregunta tan rápido.

de nada

¡Hola! Me gustó el parte de lección con los anglicismos, jejeje.

Dos preguntas:

1. Am I the only one who gets up and dance with a coffee in his hand when I hear the intro and outro music?

2. Could Liliana have a more perfect name? It's just so lovely.

Ai, una otra pregunta:

3. ¿Como se dice "I love playing videogames" en español? I discuss video games frequently, y'see.

evandar

no

no

Ai hay un otra pregunta?
there is another question?

me encanta jugar (a) los videojuegos (not sure about the a )

Gracias, donperigo, but you misunderstood me slightly. My "Ai" was more a "Oh!" or "Oh, silly me" or "Ouch" ,than anything else. Just a sound, really. Perhaps I should've used something else to avoid confusion?

Btw, good to know there are others out there dancing as well. I really can't help myself.  ^^

strangley the same thing happened to me last year

Jejeje, qué gracioso!

marco, me gustaría saberlo también. ¿Alguien?

Hola Evandar, cualquiera sea la respuesta, mi Macbook es chicita :-)

Jejeje. A mi, tengo una computadora, porque es la sóla opción buena pàra jugadores. Y es más barata también.
