What Five Spanish Words

[Rapido925M]

Ah the joys of online translations!
My daughter is seriously allergic to nuts so when she came to visit I translated a card to hand to waiters saying she mustn't have nuts.
Unfortunately, the word chosen was tuercas - nuts which fasten onto bolts!

One thing that is really useful is words ending in "ent" and "ant" are very similar in english and spanish, ie restaurant = restaurante and student = studente.

There are other rules with certain words too, like words ending in ance ie ambulance= ambulancia.

 

[DaveKerry]

Balsa - bag
Donde - where
Tengo - I have
Ahora - now
Puedo - can I

 

[EuroTrotters]

Joder
Cabron
Coño
Mierda
Puta

oh and Cojones

One very important thing to say to the police (whether local, national or, even better, Guardia Civil) is to call them Cabrón. You'll get a good room for the night if they don't shoot you first

I've been practicing mine for Beni...
Oy Manuel, uno beero pronto !

Useful if you can fined a bar owned by a Spaniard in Benidorm

 

[Anjistar]

Por fa
Gracias
Cuanto
Disculpe
¿Que?

Knowing words ain't much good, unless you also know the pronunciation thereof. My sister and I wanted to purchase some mince so I said I knew there was a butchers on the market, that's where we went but we wanted roughly a pound - but what on earth was half? (a kilo) Ah he said as I pointed to the tray of mince and to the 500g mark on his big clean white enamel Berkel weighing scales - medio kilo! Si senor, por favor!

You reminded me.
I once asked for "seis Jueves" - six Thursdays, instead of "seis Huevos" - six eggs (they do sound similar). It gave the shopkeeper a laugh anyway.

Yes, but it only works in the vicinity of restaurants!
