Roamers
 
Hi,
Can I say 'roamers thoughts' if I want to say in Spanish 'pensamientos vagabundos'?
:hmm:
Chao.

Creo que habrá sugerencias alternativas, pero me parece mejor decir "roaming thoughts". "Roamer" ya es un sustantivo y "choca" con "thoughts", que es otro sustantivo. Es mejor un adjetivo, como es la expresión original en español, en este caso, "roaming". :)

Edit:
Creo que puedes decir "roamer thoughts", sin la s final porque, al funcionar como adjetivo, el sustantivo "thoughts" es el que lleva el plural. Sin embargo, éstos serían los pensamientos de un vagabundo, no los pensamientos errantes en sí. ;)

Agreed. Roaming thoughts.

People in the UK would be slightly baffled by "Roaming thoughts" - it's definitely not common usage, "Wandering thoughts" would be better understood.
