Ok well I'm staying in Spain and I was looking to buy something. I asked if it was still available and they wrote back "Me queda el último." I know it literally is something along the lines of I left the last, but I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Any help in this context and so I know how to use this/understand this in the future? Thanks!

Hello,

I hope someone here can help.

I cannot quite understand two small sections of a song - a Padre nuestro. The majority of the song lyrics are fine - I can understand them (simply based on traditional "Padre nuestro").

The youtube clip of the song is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uET1wrLSr-o

About 2:04 minutes in, a female soloist sings "Santificado sea tu Nombre", and then another phrase that I can't make out, which sounds a bit like 'par mí señor escar pue torrienta" (or "puedo lento" or something like that).

The second phrase begins at about 2:12 minutes in (through to 2:17). It is sung by a male soloist, and it starts with something that sounds a little like "de esa tanto que un que yo no muy tanto" or something like that. I just cannot make out exactly what is being sung there.

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Just to update you, we seem to have the lyrics worked out, thanks to some wonderful help.

"Por ti, Señor, es que puedo cantar".

Then: "Esa perfección que yo ando buscando tu luz divina me va a llevar".

Hola, busco piso amueblado con tres habitaciones que esté cerca de una parada de metro. Me gustaría vivir en un barrio bonito y tranquilo. El piso debería ser moderno, grande y luminoso si es posible con balcón o terraza. Y sobretodo que no sea muy caro.

Hello!
As far as I know "21" means "veintiuno" in Spanish. When u have a noun you use "veintiùn" when the noun (antecedent) is maskuline and "veintiuna" when it's feminine. For example: (el) minuto -> veintiùn minutos & la clase -> veintiuna clases
Is that right like this? Thank you in advance!

Answer:

by solysombra (CR), 2015-12-20, 12:27   Spam?  

You´re right...
This is valid for all the numbers finishing  with -uno (1, 21, 31, etc.) used as adjectives. Only 11 is not changaning and is male as well as female "once".

Thank you! But it's not treinta y ùn, it's just treinta y un (without accent), isn't it? :-)

Hi,If anybody can help translate this into spanish, i'll be happy to help with an english text:)

In 1959 the Cubans got a new president. His name was Fidel Castro. The Cubans loved him very much. Castro always said: "Socialism or death, we will win!". A pensioner tells about his life before and after the Cuban revolution. He could not read before the revolution, but after the revolution, he learned to read and write. The revolution also provided him with free medical care. The pensioner remembers the 90's, where Cuba had huge economic problems. It is still hard for Cubans to buy food and items for personal hygiene.
The pensioner believes Cuba will have a new political system in the future. He thinks that the young Cubans should be positive towards the future.

Hi all,

Hi all,

I've read a sentence like this:
"Porque no mejor te vas a jugar a tu cuarto, tengo muchas cosas que hacer antes de que tu padre llegue."
From google I get:
"Because no better ..."
Which doesn't make much sense. Enlighten me please what it's supposed to stand for.

Best

edit: Is it maybe something like "Because there's nothing better to do ..."

Answer:

I talked with a Cuban friend and he told me it's more a question and something like
"Why don't you prefer ... since there's nothing better to do"

So the first part of the sentence:
"¿Porque no mejor te vas a jugar a tu cuarto?"
Would be:
"Why don't you prefer to play in your room?" or
"Why don't you rather go to your room playing?"

Best
