"I think mine is the one with the straw in it." (drink)
"Creo que el mio es el uno con la paja."

Ese "The one" pertenece a una estructura para la cual no existe una traducción directa. Según hablemos de personas puede traducirse como "quien" o "el/la/los/las que/cual"; si nos referimos a objetos tenderemos a más "el/la/los/las de" (aplicado a humanos puede sonar despectivo para algunos).

PD: "Paja" significa coloquialmente "masturbación".

Me parece que este pitillo es mio.
Pitillo may be used strictly among Caribbeans. I have also heard sorbete.

"Popote" in Mexico.


@Poli: I don't know in other countries, but "pitillo" is rather used for cigarrettes.

That's interesting. Often words that change like that to obscenities. RAE
states the word is pajilla--a word I never heard before.
