Maria was surprised when her husband suddenly appeared from out of the shadows.= María se sorprendió cuando su esposo apareció repentinamente desde las sombras.

"Sin aviso" sounds awkward. Chileno's suggestion or the simple use of "de repente" would be much better.

Muchas gracias Angelica y chileno
"A María" --> se me olvidó -- Ambos "salió de las sombras" y "salió de la sombra" son traducciones. . . Ejemplo de Unicef (linguee.com): "Bringing invisible children out of the shadows and creating inclusive societies..." -->"Sacar a los niños y las niñas de la sombra y crear sociedades integradoras..." No pude "oir" cual sería mejor, tiré una moneda[?] para escoger. Last edited by BenCondor; September 18, 2012 at 04:45 AM. |

Singular is rather used for a hypothetical situation, just like your example.

Given one hundred years to consider the question I never would have predicted that the number of shadows was related to the degree to which the situation was considered real. Spanish is a fount of surprises.

There are two buildings and several trees and all of them cast a shadow (hopefully, as long it isn't midnight, and even then!) Would that help? |
