My Spanish book is stupid...

Alex's Trip · 04.25.2007, 12:09 AM

Since my stupid ass Spanish book doesn't have half the words I need to write about all these paintings (for a project, I have to describe 10 different paintings in Spanish) and online tranlators fuck everything up, I started this thread. If anyone would like to help me with some of the compicated sentences, that'd be great. I'm trying to keep my sentences simple so I don't need this thread, but there are some good sentences I just don't want to let go of.

To start us off:

"This painting makes me feel like there is happiness in death: A Heaven to look forward to, and people that will miss me when I die."

I came up with this: Esta pintura me hace tener ganas de hay felicidad en ____..."

My book doesn't have most of these verbs except for "to make."

So any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Esta pintura me hace sentir como si uviera(spelling?) felicidad en la muerte

SynthethicalY · 04.25.2007, 12:14 AM

Este retrato me hace sentir que hay felicidad en la muerte: Un paraiso que espero, y la gente que me extrñara cuando yo muera.

Sorry, I think this is correct.

Esta pintura me hace sentir que hay felicidad en la muerte: un paraIso al que aspirar, y gente que me extran~arA cuando muera.

Yeah, I wrote that shit. I am that down about missing Xiu Xiu.

But actually, my stupid ass Spanish teacher will be a douche if I only use simple sentences because he knows I'm better than that. And I know he'll eat this shit up. He goes on and on about how he loves philosophy. It is really annoying. But the point is, I'm good at playing to a teacher's likes and dislikes. There is a reason I have straight A's.

Most of the time, I can get by with Spanish pretty easily (my worst subject really, just because I don't like it), but this sentence was a little out of my league.

And thanks...

trust me, your teacher will love this:

Esta pintura me hace tocarme en la noche, pendejo.

!@#$%! · 04.25.2007, 12:22 AM

give him this one:

Profesor, mis amigos de Sonic Youth dicen que usted es un grandIsimo huevOn.

yo alex aren't your parents mexican or something? or am i misinformed?

SynthethicalY · 04.25.2007, 12:23 AM

I think he is mixed !@#$%!

Alex's Trip · 04.25.2007, 12:27 AM

My dad speaks spanish, but like shitty spanish. And he is at work tonight (he works only night shifts).

Everyneurotic · 04.25.2007, 12:28 AM

now, they are just getting you tell him bad words so he punishes you; really, tell him this, since you want to make your point across how it is not the best way to learn a language the one he's teaching

profesor: con todo el respeto a las normas y reglas de nuestra sociedad, pase usted por favor a chingar a su madre.

he'll go straight to the school board to change the program.

Alex's Trip · 04.25.2007, 12:32 AM

For the record, he isn't a bad teacher. Just an obnoxious one.

We aren't translating stuff that he gave us. I just needed that sentence translated.

Everyneurotic · 04.25.2007, 12:39 AM

really, that sentence will make him reconsider his (and the school's) method of teaching.

Alex's Trip · 04.25.2007, 12:40 AM

Oh, and the first thing we did when we first started learning Spanish was ask the Mexican kid who already spoke Spanish in our class who was too lazy to take a different language how to say all the naughty stuff. So I'm good.

SynthethicalY · 04.25.2007, 12:41 AM

Well I am taking spanish, but it is for spanish speakers. You have to learn all the rules and I know shit.

!@#$%! · 04.25.2007, 12:41 AM

Suena como que es un viejo man~oso que me da asco.

Everyneurotic · 04.25.2007, 12:41 AM

still, is a classy way to tell people to fuck off; it's like saying "won't you dearly and kindly stick a dildo up your rectum?"

Alex's Trip · 04.25.2007, 12:43 AM

Tired.
Sleep.
Thanks guys.
