Paperos porfavaria

[SoCalDem]

my new sig

[Odin2005]

1. Would it not be "Sus documentos, por favor?"

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Sus Papeles por favor would work too

that is what she was trying for.

Yours is very formal, and in some areas of LatAm is the expected usage... hell in Tijuana is the usage.

[SoCalDem]

4. I achieved what I was "aiming for"..

:rofl: see disclaimer:)

[Odin2005]

6. Well, I assimed the "usted" form would be used in such an interaction.

hence "Sus" instead of "Tus".

[SoCalDem]

3. Of course, but do we expect AZ's "finest" to use proper Spanish?

It's kind of the point:rofl:

see the disclaimer:)

[Odin2005]

5. DOH, didn't see that!

:rofl:

[Bluebear]

7. El trabajar le hace liberta.

:(

[Odin2005]

8. TRABAJAR! Use the infinitive!

Polite reminder from a Gringo Hispanophile! :)

[Bluebear]

9. Muchos gracias, amigo.

I need to learn that language.

[Odin2005]

10. No Problema!

:)

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. And froim a Spanish Native speaker

this is like nails on board...

:-)

El Trabajo lo hace Libre...

And for those around here who miss it

Arbeit Macth Frei... over Auschwitz

[MineralMan]

12. What language are you attempting to write?

It's completely unclear.

At the very least, use Babelfish to do an approximate translation. It's offensive to anyone who speaks a language to see it completely butchered, even if you mean well. Truly.

[Bluebear]

13. Really, I thought her disclaimer covered that quite nicely.

[SoCalDem]

14. I never had so much trouble before with DUers "not getting it"

I even put in a disclaimer:rofl:
The "language" is Arizona Minuteman meets freeper cop

[CatWoman]

15. you ALWAYS

have the best sig art :hi:

[SoCalDem]

16. well hello, dahhhlink

:loveya:

thanks:)

Some days, I think the tension here is a bit high..so I always try to lighten things up...
life's too short to be in permanent nit-pick mode:)

we had the rainiest winter/spring i can remember, and our local media has not even said the word drought in months :)
