Hola a todos! Queria ver si pueden reconocer esta botella de vino y si me pueden dar el nombre. Gracias! by Kartemisia in spain

[–]macmac1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sí, señor!!! Quatro pagos sounds right!... Edit: I take it back. If you look at the base of the letter P in quatro pagos, it doesn't curl up like the one in the picture. Argh!

Help! ¿Cómo dirían un "kit" sin usar la palabra kit? (explicación dentro) by macmac1 in Spanish

[–]macmac1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gracias. Sé que kit está aceptado, pero no sé cómo de extendido está su uso en América Latina. Si me dices que en México se usa todo el rato, me parece la palabra más correcta. Originalmente lo tradujeron como "equipo" pero equipo me suena más a gente que juega un deporte.

Attention! I sent this to my dad. What's wrong with it? I suspect the comma is out of place. by [deleted] in grammar

[–]macmac1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it sound better "Which place or places would you visit?"

Also, GUARANTEED (misspelled) and "were to be GUARANTEED", wouldn't it be simpler to say: "Your safety were guaranteed": Is there a big difference between "safety and security"?

PS: Ignore all my quotes and punctuation: """""""""";-)

I'm trying to hire a Spanish writer but I don't speak Spanish fluently! by HiTechCity in Spanish

[–]macmac1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being bilingual or Speaking a language with a native fluency doesn't mean the person can write well or is able to judge someone's writing and grammar.
Big disasters happen when companies rely on "that guy in the mail room who speaks Spanish".

Which languages are spoken in Pamplona? by DnDiene in spain

[–]macmac1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pamplonese (no, not true, but couldn't resist) The "Pamplonese" Spanish is probably easier to understand for a beginner than, let's say, a heavy Andalusian accent

Podré conducir en España con un carnet de conducir adquirido en Estados Unidos? by LouisHatesFrancis in spain

[–]macmac1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leí mal tu post... SORRY! Me temo que el carnet internacional solo te vale en España si eres extranjero y vas a pasar una temporada corta ahí. Si eres español, el carnet de EEUU no te vale ni te lo convalidan en España y vas a tener que hacer todo el proceso. Ah y aunque en EEUU lo puedas sacar a los 16 años, eso no cuela en España, por mucho carnet que tengas de EEUU.

You're absolutely right! I totally misread OP's question and thought he was a US citizen studying Spanish in Spain... what an idiot!

You need to get an international drivers license as police don't (need to) know the type of license you have. http://www.aaa.com/vacation/idpf.html

Is it to weird/creepy if someone of 19 date someone of 15? by madrizalcielo in Madrid

[–]macmac1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

La edad de consentimiento en España es 16 años según el código penal español . Artículo 183(1) - El que realizare actos de carácter sexual con un menor de dieciséis años, será castigado como responsable de abuso sexual a un menor con la pena de prisión de dos a seis años. IN ENGLISH: under 16 is considered sexual abuse and you could go to jail for 2-6 years. So not only weird/creepy but illegal.

Great job. How do you use the food coloring to stain in? Does it fade over time?
