Te gustan las sombras?
Hola, ¿Es la traducción correcta?

Do you like eyeshadow? (maquillaje)

¿O tiene otro significado? No estoy de que sea correcto porque he visto una película en la que un hombre le pidió a otro hombre, ''te gustan las sombras?''. Él se enfadó y empezó gritar

Just I made a fast search in internet and I could only find this result of the means of the word eyeshadow.

It besides the internet means Sombrear.


That is correct?

I'd use "sombrear" for a drawing. Sombra de ojos means eyeshadow.

** is wondering how bored bob must be to be watching these kinds of movies**

Slightly off topic but I was wondering:

In Dutch when someone is looking very tired we say he or she has shadows under his/ her eyes.
('Hij/Zij heeft schaduwen onder zijn/haar ogen').

I think this also exists in English, as well as 'bags' under their eyes.

How can you say this in Spanish?

It's rings under the eyes. Bags under the eyes is similar, but refers to a condition that comes with advanced age.

We say "ojeras", both for age and for another reasons. Or does "rings" have another meaning?

Even children can have rings under their eyes. It occurs when there is not
enough sleep.
Bags under the eyes do not get cured by sleep, but a plastic surgeon can help.

Hehe... ¡¡excelente gracias!!

Haha.. yes this is tricky with some Spanish words, they look a lot alike.. You can easily make a strange mistake...

The other day I wanted to write : thank you for helping me with these phrases. I nearly wrote : 'Muchas gracias por ayudarme con estas fresas'...

Well, it's the same in English for me, above all with pronunciation: hear and here, for instance . This is a problem sometimes because I'm a bit dyslexic and I have to write slowly because if I don't I can say "barbaridades" much worse than fresa for frase

I am rather concerned about the dark secrets of two of my new friends.

Bob has an eyeshadow fetish. What is your favourite colour Bob?
I think that Laura may have confessed in another thread that she keeps spare human body parts in her fridge. Please tell me that these rumours are untrue!

What do call a black eye in Spanish and Dutch? I know that Germans have blue ones.
