Any spanish speakers out there?

seems to be…..

having…..

fun!

Traducir con Microsoft word.

Ah, I should've thought of suggesting that. That would be a good thing to use if you can't use Google Translate like Aidan B.

Anybody else learning Spanish?

no :)

Thanks, I'll check it out.
EDIT: Oh, sorry, I have Microsoft Word 1997, and it doesn't have a translate option :(

'97? What OS are you using? Windows 98? 2000?

Sí, yo también hablo español. Tengo versículos en varios idiomas que memorizo en memverse.com; si ya aprendí un versículo en inglés afuera de Memverse, a menudo intento aprenderlo aquí en español.

(Translation: I also speak Spanish. I have verses in several [three] languages that I memorize on Memverse; if I have already learned a verse in English without Memverse, I will often try to learn it here in Spanish!)

'97? What OS are you using? Windows 98? 2000?

I'm using Windows Vista.

This is random, but are you the aidanb from TPS??

I was learning Spanish using Rosetta Stone, but I kinda stopped.

Hola, Mi nombre es Grace, y me encanta este sitio! Empecé españoles hace unos tres años, y me encanta! He estado usando este sitio web durante un año.

Eso suena exactamente como yo - excepto que sólo he estado estudiando español durante menos de dos años (yo en realidad utiliza Google Translate para este mensaje…).

Eso es gracioso! :) ¿Sabe cómo hablar con fluidez español? Que hago! No muy bien, pero yo todavía lo hacen. ¿Cuánto tiempo has estado en memverse? No creo que haya una palabra española para memverse. ¿Tocas algún instrumento? ¿Cuántos versículos de la Biblia que han memorizado en memverse? ¿Hace Biblia abeja? Si es así, ¿lo hacen para Nacional

I don't want to have to take the time to write this all out in Spanish (or show my lack of skill in it by using Google Translate again!), so I'll just answer your questions on my normal account (by the way, did you already know I was SavedByGrace?) and in English. First, I'd like to say that I understood most of what you said in your comment! But I had to use Google Translate for quite a bit of it again…

Anyway, I do not speak Spanish fluently at all–I'd have to take quite a bit of time to think through what I say before I say it, and even then it would be pretty rough. I have been on Memverse for a little over a year. I do not play any instruments (and, believe it or not, I have little desire to). I have a little over a thousand verses supposedly memorized on Memverse (on this account–on my Spanish account I have only eleven memorized), and I have done the Bible Bee for four years. And yes, I made it to Nationals this year, by God's grace. :)

By the way, I think when you asked how many verses I have memorized on Memverse, you meant to put "has", not "han." Remember the infinitive conjugations! :)

Gracias

¿Utiliza el traductor de google? ¿Hay una palabra en español para google? No es que yo haya oído hablar de! :) A quién le gusta Kiwi? RANDOM! Lo estoy comiendo el desayuno ahora! jeje :)

(Before I start, I have to admit to using "el traductor de google" for much of this…)

No tengo ninguna idea de si me gusta kiwi, porque nunca he comido lo. :) Y también, preguntando si alguien le gusta el kiwi no es una cuestión random si la fuese a lo comer para el desayuno!

Yo hablo Espanol, pero entiendo y leerlo mejor que lo hablo. No me gusta kiwi. :) Soy nuevo en Memverse.

Buen punto, eso es cierto. NO AL AZAR! :) Ahora mismo estoy escuchando a mi hermana pequeña aprendiendo algunos versículos bíblicos más para el Concurso de la Biblia! Estoy muy orgulloso de ella. Ella está muy entusiasmada con los nacionales! Debí haber publicado esto en el foro Biblia Bee, pero no puedo decirlo en español en ese foro. :)

Matthew and I take Spanish from our pastor's wife (a native of El Salvador).

Blanca como la nieve,
negra como la pez
habla sin tener boca
y anda sin tener pies.

Anyone understand?

Yes, you said:
White as snow,
black as pitch
speaks without mouth
and walk without feet
I don't know what it means though!?!?!?!

It's supposed to be a riddle about a letter.

I got it from my spanish 2 book.

Here's another one:

Por aquel camino
vienen dos
uno se moja
y el otro no.

That way
come two
one wets
and the other not.

???? HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMM…..

Hola Courtney! (this is Sarah)
Yo hablo un poco de espanol. Estoy usando Rosetta Stone.
Cual es la respuesta a su acertijo? Por favor, digame!

Sarah, I'm really glad your on Memverse now! You said, I speak a little bit of Spanish. I use Rosetta Stone. (By the way, I used to use that, and I love it!) What is the answer to your riddle? Please, tell me!

The translation of my riddle is supposed to say,

That way
come two
One gets wet
the other doesn't

It's supposed to be talking about a man with an umbrella.

Here's another one:

Tiene pata y no anda,
tiene alas y no vuela,
tiene ojos y no ve,
tiene boca y no come.

I have 6 more if you're interested! :-)

A dead bird? :)
No, let me think. Hmmmmm. Oh, I don't know.
unless it really is a dead bird???

No, it's a house. You know, the door is the mouth, the windows are the eyes, and some have stilts? (Legs)

Sopla sin alas,
silba sin boca.
Tu no lo ves,
ni lo tocas.

Oh, and the porch/deck were the wings.

Oh, come on! A house doesn't make as much sense as a dead bird! :)
I'll get this one right though.

blows without (i don't know) wings or breath
whistles without mouth
you do not see it
nor touch it

Is it wind?
Did I translate it right?

Yeah, you translated that one right. :-) And yes it is wind.

Fui al mar y me bane,
toque el agua y no me moje.

It's hard to type in espanol without tildes. :-)

Yes! I can't believe I got one right!
Okay, I think I need translation on this one. I don't know what 'bane' means. Don't tell me the answer though! :)

Bane is supposed to have a tilde on the n. Like "ban-ye".

I don't know. :(
How can you touch water and not get wet?!?! :(
Pleeeeaaase tell me!

When you have waterproof boots on. :-O

Poderoso caballero es don Dinero.

Lo barato es caro.

I don't understand the first half. Could you give it to me in English?
Something about a knight and money? :)

There is actually 2 seperate sentences. The first one says:

Mr. Money is a powerful knight.

sooo…
Mr. Money is a powerful knight.
Cheap is expensive.

is that right? What kind of riddle is that? It's not a question! :o

They didn't actually go together. Cheap is expensive - it goes along with a picture of a cheap car having to be pushed up a big hill. Mr. Money is a powerful knight - it is talking about today's society. Money rules everything! :-(

Quien fue a Sevilla, perdio su silla.

Here's a cute childrens's story I read once:

Habia una vez tres ratones blancos en una hoja de papel. El gato no podia encontrarlos.
Un dia, mientras el gato dormia, los ratones vieron tres tarros de pintura: uno rojo, uno amarillo y uno azul. Creyeron que era pintura de raton. Y se tiraron de cabeza. Uno se volvio rojo, otro amarillo, y otro azul.
Gotearon charcos de pintura sobre el papel. Los charcos parecian divertidos. El raton rojo se metio en el charco amarillo y se puso a bailar. Revolvio el charco amarillo con sus pies rojos hasta que… "Mira!', grito. "Pies rojos en un charco amarillo hacen naranja!" El raton amarillo salto al charco azul. Sus pies mezclaron y revolvieron, revolvieron y mezclaron hasta que… "Mira," dijeron el raton rojo y el raton azul. "Pies amarillos en un charco azul hacen verde." Entonces el raton azul salto al charco rojo. Chapoteo, mezclo, y bailo hasta que… "Morado!" gritaron todos. "Pies azules en un charco rojo hacen morado!"
La pintura que tenian en la piel se puso pegajosa y dura. Asi que se banaron hasta quedar de un blanco suave y bonito y en cambio, pintaron el papel. Pintaron una parte roja y una parte amarilla y una parte azul. Mezclaron rojo y amarillo para pintar una parte naranja, amarillo y azul para pintar una parte verde, y azul y rojo para pintar una parte morada; pero dejaron algo en blanco, porque el gato.

Historia interesante ….

haha…. :-)

Once there were three white mice on a sheet of paper. The cat could not find them.
One day, while the cat slept, the mice were three jars of paint: one red, one yellow and one blue. They thought it was paint-shirts. And jumped head. One turned red, one yellow and one blue.
Puddles dripped paint on paper. Puddles seemed funny. The red shirts got into the yellow puddle and danced. Ruffled yellow puddle with red feet until … "Look! 'Cry." Red Pies in a puddle yellow make orange! "Mouse yellow to blue puddle jump. Their feet mixed and stirred, stirred and mixed until …" Look, "said the red shirts and the blue shirts. "yellow feet in a puddle blue make green." Then the blue shirts to red puddle jump. splash, mix, and dance until … "purple!" they shouted. "Feet in a pool blue make purple red ! "
The paint on the skin had got sticky and hard. So to be bathed in a soft white and pretty and instead painted paper. They painted some red and some yellow and some blue. Mixed red and yellow paint some orange, yellow and blue paint some green, red and blue and some purple paint, but left something blank, because the cat.

I love it! I did use google translator for this! :)

OK, here is the translation. You actually did great, though!

Once there were three white mouse on a white sheet of paper. The cat couldn't find them.
One day, when the cat was sleeping, the mice saw three jars of paint: one red, one yellow, and one blue. They thought it was mouse paint. They climbed right in. Then one was red, one was yellow and one was blue.
They dripped puddles of paint onto the paper. The puddles looked fun. The red mouse stepped into a yellow puddle and did a little dance. His red feet stirred the yellow puddle until… "Look!", he cried. "Red feet in a yellow puddle make orange!"
The yellow mouse jumped into a blue puddle. His feet mixed and stirred, stirred and mixed until… "Look down!", the red mouse and the blue mouse cried. "Yellow feet in a blue puddle make green!"
Then the blue mouse jumped into a red puddle. He splashed and mixed and danced until… "Purple!" they shouted. "Blue feet in a red puddle make purple!"
But the paint on their fur got sticky and stiff. So they washed themselves down to a nice soft white.. and painted the paper instead. They painted one part red and one part yellow and one part blue. And they mixed red and yellow paint to paint a part orange, yellow and blue to paint some of it green, and red and blue to paint purple. But the left some white, because of the cat.

Don't mind using google translate for some things. I use my dictionary A LOT! :-)
