Spanish speakers, help with translation?

[TravelingGal]

Can anyone who speaks fluent spanish help? Mine isn''t good enough and those online translation sites never get it right.

I need to write a note to the gardeners. If you can, please translate into Spanish:

Hello Gardeners: Please do not mow the lawn today. Any questions, please knock.

 

[Gailey]

Hola Jardineros: Por favor, no cortar el césped en la actualidad. Cualquier pregunta, hay que tocar

 

[Laila619]

I'll take a stab:

I'm pretty sure that please do not mow the lawn today is:

Por favor, no corte el cesped hoy.

 

[Burberrygirl]

Well... I took five years of Spanish. I might be able to help a little but give me a minute lol.

Never mind, Lailia and Gailey were much faster! I so need to work on my Spanish!

 

[TravelingGal]

Thank you so much everyone!

Ha, that''s what I should do. One of the benefits of working from home, and yet I never listen to squat while working!!

::Sigh:: I practically live at a Mexican restaurant, and I married a Puerto Rican, and the only sentence I can say in Spanish is "Donde está mis pantalones?"

ETA I also took four years of Spanish in school. That's horrible!

Gailey, do you speak Spanish spanish? The reason I ask is I do see some differences in Mexican spanish vs spanish spanish.

I was waiting for someone to say how clever I was and then I was going to own up

Haha, same! I kept stumbling over "Usted es.." You is....you is...wait a second! Something''s a bit off here.

And TGal, I lived in Spain for several months and then went to Panama, and the Spanish was SO different. I could barely understand anybody in Panama. And Argentine Spanish is so different from anything I''m used to - I thought my friend was speaking Italian!

Thanks for the smiles . I almost didn''t open the thread, since I figured it would all have been taken care of before I got to it.....

in some ways he was: been several hundred years of italian immigration to argentina and it changed the spanish language pronunciation in a big way.

I think she was correct in saying "usted es". Don't you use the el/ella conjugation with usted? It is more formal than tu. And hopefully Google didn't screw up!

My Spanish is rusty but I used to pretty good at it!

I thought it was weird that cortar wasn''t conjugated and she used en la actualidad instead of hoy. Usted is conjugated the same as el or ella but I guess in my classes we didn''t really use usted a ton so it looked a little off. I really need to brush up on my Spanish!

Hahahahaha - goes to show you how rusty I am! I realized it on the drive home and came to post, but you guys beat me to it! I forget because it was so rarely used - I think I heard somebody use it twice while I was in Spain and Panama combined. Vosotros, on the other hand.....oh boy. There''s a form I wish I''d studied more often!

 

[Rachel9]

Ha, Kenny es my romantico.
[A vosotros user] vosotros sois muy agradables.

 

[packrat]

Remember the episode of The Cosby Show where Claire and a friend were speaking Spanish and Cliff was like..

"I just listen for my name"

I had Spanish my freshman year in high school and now of course, I really wish I''d continued. I think we''re going to get Rosetta Stone for it.

I saw my Spanish teacher one time about 7 years after I graduated, so 10 years after I had her in class, and she didn''t recognize me. (funny, my Kindergarten teacher still did haha) She said "Refresh my memory" so I frowned and shook my finger at her and said "Adelina, cierra la boca!" and she smiled and was like, "Ohh Missi, how nice to see you!" hahaha

I was kinda wondering the same thing.

 

[TravelingGal]

lol, you gals are funny. That''s why I asked Gailey what kind of spanish she spoke, because my translation would have been quite different from hers (more elementary, actually).

As for why I didn''t want my lawn mowed...TGuy is on a weeding frenzy. We have tons of weeds....in fact our backyard is almost all weeds. The front yard can be saved, so we''re going through and cleaning it up. It''s that nasty prickly burr (sp?) stuff. He didn''t want it mowed while we were doing, thereby spreading it around more.

 

[Gailey]

OK, I admit it my Spanish is limited to, "Two beers please". But weeds, now there''s a subject I know as well as the ABC and the Lord''s Prayer, put together and backwards! Let me know if you need to know anything Senora TG!
