    Ni en pedo = not even if I were drunk
    De ninguna manera = no way
    Por supuesto que sí = of course, yes (not even a negative response!)

    Which of the following sentences is a way NOT to ask to borrow something?  - ProProfs

    • ¿Puedo usar tu lapicera?

    • ¿Me podés pasar la sal, por favor?

    Correct Answer
    A. ¿Te presto mi lapicera?
    Explanation
    ¿Te presto mi lapicera? is NOT a way to ask to borrow something, as it translates to: (I lend you my pen?)

    Make sure to pay attention to the indirect object (TE) as well as the conjugation of the verb PRESTAR (which in this case is in the first person singular, making it "I lend")

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    Which is the correct translation for the following sentence:  "Can you lend it to me?"  - ProProfs

    Which is the correct translation for the following sentence:  "Can you lend it to me?" 

    • ¿Me puedes la prestar?

    • ¿Puedes la prestarme?

    • ¿Podés prestarmela?

    • ¿La podés prestarme?

    Correct Answer
    A. ¿Podés prestarmela?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is:

    ¿Podés prestarmela?

    The indirect object pronoun (me) and the direct object pronoun (la) should be at the end of the infinitive verb (prestar).

    You can also put the two pronouns individually before both verbs, but they should not be separated like they are in the other examples.
