Hola! I have a question...
Hola! Thank You for letting me post. I am learning, so please be patient.
Can someone help me with a translation for the following... "Eso!! Pura vida!!" It was used in the context of a happy post about passing my Spanish exam with a good grade. I cant translate this properly, though! Help!? Thank You! |
Literally "That's it!! True life!!".
I'ts difficult to tranlate, it's like "We did it! Rejoice!" or "That's it! Enjoy the life!" Saludos :D |
¡Hola y bienvenido!
I can try and say something in English, That's it! That is sheer [joy] of living! (I think that's kind of the idea... it is just an exclamation of approval, like, Hooray! That's life!) Hopefully the forum members that are native English speakers will give me and you a hand... At any rate... enjoy the forums! |
I agree with both answers given.
@Slappy: Only one thread per question, please. :) |
I agree with both answer, already the phrase has't much context.
Pura vida. And well just here I will give your other idea about it. Vida deseable. This form sound more nature way. Really I'd like to have more context about your post, maybe it could has other meaning to the your currently meaning. |
"Pura vida" is a very popular Costa Rican phrase. I would translate it as 'cool' in the context given.
|
Thank You all so much! The statement does make sense now from your translation according to the context in which it was given. I had trouble translating because, clearly, it is not a 'word for word' easily translated sentence to English. Thank You, again. :)

You're welcome, yes I know the word is very strange for you more if you don't know Spanish, but with the across time you will able to understand quite the word.

hola y bienvenido!!
