Hola,

I was just wondering how you would translate 'ya quisieras!'

Is it kind of like saying 'yeah right, you wish!', or is there a better way of saying that?

Thanks,

Sally

Sally,

It means exactly: you wish! Roll Eyes
The only other way to say it would be: 'qu� m�s quisieras!!!' Roll Eyes :jeje:

Hey sally b, long time no hear.

Well, no literal translation that makes any sense but you are right, it basically means "you wish!.

Example...

� Eva: �Juan, que haces esta noche? (Juan, what are you doing tonight?).

� Juan: Irme a tu casa ya que tus padres no est�n :l: (I'm going to your house since your parents are not home).

� Eva: �Ya quisieras! (You wish!).

Saludos,
jer...

Maybe Juan should answer a bit more subtle to realize his intentions.

For example like that:

"No s� que voy a hacer esta noche. Que haces t�? No est�s un poco solitaria en la gran casa sin tus padres? Si necesitas compa�ia, naturalmente estar�a a tu disp�sici�n."

:jeje: :jeje:

Hi Tony,

as I am girl, I really don't have to use such tricks.
I just have to smile and wait...

But I know how boys are acting...

Eeker Red Face Big Grin

....OOOOOOps. It's a good thing that this is SUPER FUN board day! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get away with that statement. Cool

P.S. kinki...You're right. You certainly do deserve to take advantage of the status quo on this one... We don't mind... Wink
