Las palabras que encontré hoy

[bobjenkins]

Hola he creado un hilo porque he tenido una idea de escribir de día las palabras que encontré, y al puesta de sol crearé algunas de frases con ellas aquí. No hay un necesitación de corregirlas para mi, pero siempre está bueno. Lo hago porque yo creo que me ayudará a contener el nuevo vocabulario.

Busqué "to gather" y lo encontré

No pienso que en la vida he usado "deduce"

...me pregunto si hay diccionarios inglés estadaunidense al inglés británico..

Yup! I found it at the AskOxford site under the British side.

I wish I had had access to that before...

It's a perfectly normal word for me

Como no contestaban deduje que no había nadie
As there was no reply, I deduced there was nobody there.

¿Qué deduces de todo esto?
What do you deduce from all this?

Yes the words are very interesting, and thank for your contribution, now also I want to create any phrases with your contribution if you leave me do it.

I dragged another jeep in the motorway.
I deduced that my invoice has an error in the cost and the I.V.A.
You should push oneself in dressing you, because the movie start at 8 P.M.

If I have mistakes please you don't hesitate to correcting me.

I appreciate your support.

This could mean 1) I raced with another jeep on the motorway, 2) I towed another jeep along the motorway (because it was broken), 3) both

I deduced that my invoice was incorrect, both in amount and I.V.A (tax?)

You have to hurry up getting ready because the movie starts at 8 P.M.

If I have made any mistakes, please do not hesitate to correct me. (A weird self-referential request)

If I had mistakes...? /please at the end of the sentence?

Please could go at the end, I suppose, but I think it's better where I put it.

Thanks.

And: If I had any mistakes...? ("si tuviera errores", en lugar de "si hubiera hecho errores").

No, you can't say that. In context, you can only say "If I have made any mistakes..."

Open conditional : If I have made mistakes, tell me (2 indicatives)
Hypothetical: If I had made any mistakes, you would have told me. (subj. plus conditional)

I understood the present context as an open conditional: If I go wrong, then tell me.

[irmamar]

Then, in English you can "hacer o cometer errores", but you can't "tener errores". If I wanted to say: "tu escrito tiene muchos errores" I should say: "you've made many mistakes in your document" instead of saying: "your document has many mistakes". Could I say: "Your document is plenty of mistakes"?

No irmamar, you have to say ""Your document has/ has got a lot of mistakes." Using have or have got

Another point...

Plenty is a positive word and means smth like more than enough, but in a positive sense.

Have you got enough money? Yes, I've got plenty
Do you need any more space? No there's plenty, thanks

Tu escrito tiene muchos errores . your paper has alot of errors
You've made many mistakes in your document . Hiciste muchos errores al escribir el escrito

Your document is plenty of mistakes . Your document is full of mistakes

Ten cuidado mi niñito, si no tuvieras cuidado el viento podría arrastrarte. (no estoy seguro de ese ejemplo)
Por lo que dijiste, deduzco que es una mentira
Segue aprendiendo y saldrás bien
No a mí me gusta el pescado, nunca jamás lo voy a tomar, porque una vez tenía un pescado en el que encontré unas escalas. ¡qué grosero era!
Prefiero las edificios del hierro y que tienen muchos pisos.
La hiedra es una planta que no me interesa
Si pudiera, comería hierbabuena todos los días

Gracias Rusty, recientamente he tenido problemas de conjugar la tercera persona en el pretérito ! Me molesta porque lo entiendo, pero aún escribo "dijes. (dijiste)

Das buenos consejos , muchas gracias de nuevo!

[Rusty]

Dijiste no es la tercera persona.

¡huy! No solamente tengo un problema de conjugarlo pero también al escribir el nombre de él

oOps, not only do I have a problem conjugating it but also a problem writing the name


la segunda persona
Gracias de nuevo

[Rusty]

Now that I've read your sentences again, the exclamation 'gross' isn't said 'grosero'. That means 'rude' or 'vulgar', and is said if someone is being rude or using coarse language.
The correct exclamation is 'qué asco'.
