Un saludo a todos/Hi there, everyone!

(Lo siento, pero las introducciones me ponen los pelos de punta por timidez. No sé muy bien si poner esto en español o inglés así que, ¡ante la duda la más tetuda!, lo pondré en los dos).

Estoy en España pero soy bilingüe. Me fascinan las diferencias entre el español de aquí y del otro lado del charco. .

Uso la página de Tomísimo cuando hago alguna que otra traducción por cuestiones de trabajo pero hasta ahora no me había atrevido a participar en el foro.

Hasta pronto.




(Sorry but introductions make my hair stand on end cos I’m a bit shy. I’m not too sure whether this should be in Spanish or in English so, (and here’s the first stone I stumble upon. How would you translate “¡ante la duda la más tetuda!?), I’ll do it in both.

I’m in Spain but I’m bilingual. I’m fascinated by the differences between Spanish here and Spanish on the other side of the Atlantic. The same goes for English.

I use the Tomísimo page when I have to do translations for work but I’d never before dared take part in the forums.

Hasta pronto.

¡Hola y bienvenido!

Perdoneme, pero estoy aprendiendo la idioma de español.

Me acomuné un mes atrás (mas o menos) pero creo tú descubrirás que las personas son muy amigable y servicial aquí.

Welcome to the forums Ambarina! Glad you got up the courage to post. It'll come easier now that you've done it once.

Hola Ambarina,

Bienvenida a los foros!

No sé si existe la traducción de esa expresión en Inglés. Si alguien responde, por favor díme cual fué la traducción. Literalmente no puede ser hecha porque no rimaría. :-)

A clean version of the phrase:
When in doubt, go with the obvious.

Ah! Thanks!

I do not think I have ever heard that expression. I think I have heard or read "when in doubt, refrain..."

Now, for the unclean version...?

Pm would do.

Gracias a todos por la bienvenida.

No era mi intención ser grosera con esa expresión. Desde luego que la traducción literal en inglés sonaría mucho peor. Perdonad si he ofendido a alguien.

No, está muy bien.

Yo quesria saber si habia alguna asi en ingles, que rimara... lo que pasa es que soy un poco poético, y al parecer Rusty también.

Welcome Ambarina!

I see you've met "los pícaros de los foros".

Nunca había escuchado la expresión que usaste pero me gustó. Espero que podamos aprender mutuamente.
