No me mientes su nombre, nombrarla me produce urticaria
 

Widely used, It doesn´t need any explanations I guess. In English?

Title corrected from: Nome No me mientes su nombre, nombrarla me produce hurticaria.

The very mention of her name turns my stomach.
I think Latins say me da cólera.

"at the mention of her name, i break out in a rash."

I have a doubt off of this topic.

What hurticaria is?

Urticaria en español y inglés es un picazón frecuentamente causado por una reaccion alergínica. En inglés( EEUU por lo menos) es un término que se usa casi esclucivamente en el campo de medicina. Otra gente no suele entenderlo.

I'm puzzled. All the above take mentir=to mention, but my dictionary only gives mentir=to lie. :confused:

@Perikles: The verb is "mentar", which is a synonym of "mencionar" or "nombrar".

Thanks for that - a new verb. I should have been able to work it out, if mientes is the 2nd s. subjunctive!!

What is 'I should have been able to work it out' in Spanish?
deberia haber poder resolverlo ?? sounds ridiculous.

"I should have been able to work it out" could be:

· Debí haber podido resolverlo.
· Debería haber podido resolverlo.

Your past participle "been" is also a past participle in Spanish: "podido". :)

Thanks. I'm confusing languages, and using German grammar! :rolleyes:
