Discutir asuntos y promover leyes

[irmamar]

I want to say (more or less):

En el Parlamento, la élite gobernante discutía sus asuntos y promovía leyes.

In the Parliament, the ruling elite discussed their bussines and promoted laws.

What do you think? Thanks. :)

@Irmamar, Your English is very good.:)

Thanks, vita, but it should be much better. :o :)

Maybe issues instead of bussines? :thinking:

@Irmamar, Your English is very good.:)I agree. Pity about the spelling. :p :kiss:

P.S. I would say affairs, not business but either is OK

[irmamar]

Affairs, that's perfect. Thanks. :)

Which spelling? :thinking:

[vita32]

Yes, what about her spelling? I don't see any spelling errors!:confused: Irmamar, I think Perikles is pulling your leg;):)

[Perikles]

Yes I see it now. Perikles, you must make a good proof reader. I would hate to be in your English class if you were teaching English:o

I would hate to be in your English class if you were teaching English:oStrangely, I am a little dyslexic but am very good at seeing the mistakes others make. And yes, I have been told I am a very demanding teacher (un profesor exigente). :D:D :crazy::wicked:

[irmamar]

Yes, he is a very demanding teacher without earning any money. Can you imagine how he would be if he earned any money? :D :D
Perikles, the best. :kiss:

At least he has a good sense of humor:erm:which will make up for his being a demanding teacher and also his students will probably not fall asleep:sleeping::thumbsup:

You should know that discuss and discutir are not good cognates. To my knowlege discutir oftenimplies contention. The word discuss
is usually neutral unless context changes its meaning.

[irmamar]

The same in Spanish, we can say "debatir un tema", talk about, examine, study a topic, instead of "discutir un tema".

Normalmente, en el parlamento se discuten diversos temas (and they are not quarrelling). :)
