I'm bored.
Go ahead ask anything you want to know about Spanish ad I'll try to answer it, just trying to spread the culture here.

How do you say onomatopoeia in Spanish?
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Gamefreak on January 06, 2008, 06:26:33 PM
Tu vas al escuela?
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Uximadesk on January 06, 2008, 08:44:40 PM
Onomatopeya, OK Aureliano is banned from the class since he already knows spanish...

And your sentence has a mistake, Gamefreak, it is supposed to be "Tu vas a la escuela?" since "school" in spanish is a female noun.
Anyone else?

Babel Fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/).

*coughcough*

Teachers need aids, right? ;)

Well, it's funnier to answer them myself.

And as matter of fact, I do like to read a lot.

I don't know any russian! :-X

And it would be something like this, JQ:
"(Oye amigo/Oiga compa)[The later is less polite], tienes algo que me (vendas/puedas vender)[the later is a bit more polite]

The website lies.  If you translate "Hey, friend, you have anything to sell to me?", it tells you "Hey, amigo, usted tiene cualquier cosa vender a mí."

And JQ:

Check this (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee236/Aureliano_7/Typo.jpg) out.

Well, do any of you know German?  Because that's the language I'm using as the Gerudo language, and Babel Fish is the only site I know that can translate whole sentences.

Methinks Arabic would work better than German. I mean, what other tongue is more suitable for, you know... a desert people?

And Aurel - Quiet, you.

How do you say "master key" in spanish?
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Gamefreak on January 07, 2008, 01:40:56 PM
If the situation ever called for it, I could say Shadow Clone Technique in Japan.

It could happen.....
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: MasterKeyX on January 07, 2008, 01:44:11 PM
If you ever have to say that, I want you to call em up and tell me. I really would love to hear why you ever had to utter such a phrae. And in Jap.  :o :P
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Aureliano on January 07, 2008, 01:45:34 PM
Oh no, I am discussing Naruto with my friend and I do not know how to say "Shadow Clone Jutsu" in Japanese.  How will I ever impress him?


And Master Key would be a bit difficult to piece together.  I'll leave it to Mikaudes to answer since this is his topic .... :)

Yeah, Alpha pointed that out to me as well, but my line of logic is German sounds harsh and the Gerudo live in the desert, which is a harsh environment.

Besides, I can totally see Sheena making a whip made out of ice and screaming "Schnell!" at her sister.  Can't you, Shika?

Okay, I'll let this drift back on topic now.

They only sound 'harsh' because of the overabundance of Beer.

For what I can guess, I relate Zora language with japanese, Sheikah with arabic, Deku with some kind of tribal language and probably Goronic with nordic languages.

And Master Key would be something like "Llave Maestra" perhaps, but it's hard to figure out (as Aurel said). But yeah, I think that would be a proper translation.
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 07, 2008, 07:51:16 PM
I use Japanese for Hylian (Common), English for Sheikah (sorry MagmarFire :P ), and Latin for Fey.  I haven't decided on a real life language for Zora and Goron.  As for Ancient Hylian, I, of course, use my own language. ;)

Well, I guess if you want to keep this somewhat on track, you can PM me over at HA2 for my reasonings.

Now, name a topic you would like to know about more, like I don't know, you name it.
Actually I know what you're all thinking, you want to lear how to insult, but I'm going to wait for someone to ask.

What are some common swear words in Spanish?
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 08, 2008, 06:26:06 AM
Now then, you all remember that just because you're using them in a different language it's still not okay to use profanity.  At least on these forums.
Title: Re:Spanish classes

You'll have to pardon my Spanish.

My education is that of a 1st grader or so.
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: darkphantomime on January 08, 2008, 12:53:50 PM
'anything' can be a swear word, by that definition HNS.

As long as you use 'euphemisms' to translate the spanish swears/insults, they're fine.

. . . English for Sheikah (sorry MagmarFire :P ). . .

'Kay, thanks. :P

Anyway, thanks to my Earth Science class, I know how to say, "Shut up!" (Go figure. XD ) Don't know exactly how to spell it, though...

It sounds like [kai-YAH-tay], or something like that...

Spanish Teacher: Señor Butthead, Como es Juan?
Butthead: Uhh...burritos? Heheh.
Spanish Teacher: No, como es Juan! Como es Juan!
Beavis: Uh...spaghetti!
Butthead: Spaghetti?
Spanish Teacher: That's Italian, you moron! Damn it! You've been in this class for almost a year now, and the only Spanish you know is what you learned at Taco Bell! And even Beavis can't get that right! If you guys can't say one sentence in Spanish, I'm sending you both to the principal's office!
Butthead: Uhh...brurdfjsozd rico suave. Hehehe!
Spanish Teacher: Principal's office! Now!
Beavis: Uh...taco supreme! Heheh!
Spanish Teacher: THAT'S IT!!!  >:(

You just made me think of that. Anyway, do you know what "Como es Juan" means?

I am Juan?
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Vaati on January 10, 2008, 04:09:27 PM
Hmm, that's a weird question for a Spanish teacher to ask...if you can even call that a question.
Maybe the creator didn't know Spanish.
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: darkphantomime on January 10, 2008, 04:21:30 PM
How is Juan?

Though in retrospect, if it were 'how' they'd use the temporary form of the verb 'to be', IE: estar, esta.

Oh wait, it's actually "Who is Juan?"
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Vaati on January 10, 2008, 04:33:58 PM
Yeah, that makes more sense.
Title: Re:Spanish classes
Post by: Uximadesk on January 10, 2008, 05:29:09 PM
How is Juan?
But not in the sense of a state, argh, that´s difficult to explain because the verb "to be" breaks down into two verbs in spanish, both meaning the same in English actually.
But the question itself is not very common to ask unless you´re asking for a description.
