la computer or le computer? That is the question!

[SoulHealer]

I made up colectando..whats the word for collecting?

Acording to the context, Collecting = Recojiendo

But i dont understand exactly what you want to say.. i only use the translator for translate single words or short phrases, if i try to translate a complete text, all they suck! so, i better use mostly my knowledge to translate from spanish to english.. 8)

Si, si, tu es muy loco!

wouldn't it be tu eres loco? just a suggestion. and i thought that recogiendo was the same as conseguiendo. "getting" as it were.

Yes! "tu eres loco", is correct, but this is the most correct sentence: "tu estás loco". The verb "to be" could be translated as "ser" or "estar" in spanish. As for the another sentence, indeed, "getting" literally means "consiguiendo", but acording to the context "to get" could be translated with more than 10 meanings in spanish.. yeah! that's a multimeaning word in spanish, in these case, he ask for "collecting" not for "getting", and the correct meaning (acording to context, i insist) is "recogiendo".

or you could just use estas. how do you put the dammed accent on there? it boggles the mind! :boggle:

also: a computer bit

A computer tech support woman was helping a man install his computer. After setting it all up, she asks him what he wants his password to be. The man, chauvinistic assjack that he is, tells her to put in the word *****. Without hesitation, she enters the password and falls out of the chair laughing at the computers reply:

Error: Password rejected. Too short

[Tichondrius_87]

[Nethran]

[Tichondrius_87]

uh huh..... ok... then why did you say "his rethratated way"? that implies adjectavage. dumbass.

[Nethran]

[Tichondrius_87]

heres one.

One day, Tichondrious was gallumping about in his yard and he rethratated himself.

I laugh..its funny.

oh, damn... i misread that.

[Nethran]

damn straight you misread it. You too stoopid to do it right, you sonjackakang.

[jedimaster86]

well anyway,just like clad0 said, computer (l'ordinteur) is masculine. this is important when you need to congugate other verbs around it and switch stuff around, just in a couple of tenses. im not french, but i have took about 6 years of it, so i know a word here and there (i.e. le pamplemousse= grapefuit. how cool is that :p ?)

[Nethran]

Nice paint sig... and you ruined our argument, you bastard... Ill get you for this... Ill get you good. (not in the pants, if thats what youre thinking... You disgust me. why? why must you think such things? Jesus, man. Get a grip on reality!)

[andrewmason]

I don't eat green eggs.

They no good for you.

Another random post by me.

[Nethran]

Maybe Ill start non-random posts to cover your random posts so that I make you stop with the random posts? Yes, sounds good.

[Tichondrius_87]

wait... what'd he just say? how will non-random (deliberate?) posts cover up the random ones? and are you even capable of making a serious post?

[andrewmason]

The next sentence is RANDOM!!!
