1. As a general rule, how do you make an ADJECTIVE into an ADVERB in Spanish?  It's a tricky one alright...

Explanation

Adding -MENTE will usually turn ADJECTIVES (which describe Nouns) into ADVERBS (which describe Verbs/Adjectives). In English, we usually add -ly to do the same thing.

Examples:
Exacto -> Exactamente (Exact -> Exactly)
General -> Generalmente (General -> Generally)
Normal -> Normalmente (Normal -> Normally)

2. After Jimena fights with her boyfriend, she...

Explanation

Jimena está triste "Jimena is sad".

She is not "llena" (full) and she doesn't "tiene triste" (have sad).

Triste is an ADJECTIVE, so it uses the ESTAR (to be) rather than TENER (to have)

Submit
3. What can "PEDO" mean? Is this man 'en pedo'?

Explanation

"Pedo" is a very versatile word. Directly translated it means "fart".

But "En pedo" = "plastered" (drunk) and "Al pedo" = useless. So the answer is "All of the above".

Submit
4. Tina Fey and Sarah Palin are...  Can you tell which one is which?

Explanation

While not actually identical (same= misma), they do look very alike (parecida). Not different (distincta) nor completely weird (rara).

The "as" is added to all the adjectives because they are TWO FEMALES...

Submit
5. What is a "Jermu"? Is snookie a jermu?

Explanation

Jermu = Mujer (woman)... and no, Snooki doesn't count.

It is from the popular "Al vesre" or reverse speak that is used in Argentina.

Submit
6. Do you remember "Lunfardo" (old Argentine slang)? Let's see! How would you say:  "I travel in a bus with my girl" Don't remember? Watch this clip: 

Explanation

"Voy en el bondi con mi mina."

Let's break it down:
VOY = from IR (to go)
EN = in
EL BONDI = bus (slang)
CON = with
MI = MY
MINA = girl (slang)

Submit
7. When David drinks a lot of alcohol, he... 

Explanation

David tiene sueño, "David is sleepy" (Literally "David has sleepiness")

He is sueño because he wants to sleep. He isn't cansado, because he hasn't been running or doing something that would make him physically tired.

Also, TENER (to have) is used instead of ESTAR (to be) because Sueño is a NOUN, not an ADJECTIVE.

Submit
8. Argentina is a country where THEY... they do love to dance...

Explanation

They (ellos) cenan más tarde, toman vino tinto. Both verbs CENAR (to eat dinner) and TOMAR (to take/to drink) should be in the third person plural.

HABLO (from HABLAR- to talk) and TOMO (from TOMAR- to take) are first person singular(I).

BAILAS (from BAILAR- to dance) and COMES (from COMER- to eat) are in the second person singular (You).

VIVIMOS (from VIVIR- to live) and COMEMOS (from COMER- to eat) are in the first person plural (We).

Submit
9. Where does the Adjective "bastante" go in the following sentence:  "Hay ruido en el edificio"

Explanation

"Bastante" (a lot) would go before the noun "Ruido" (noise). Making the sentence: "Hay bastante ruido en el edificio." (There is a lot of noise in the building).

However, there are only a small number of adjectives that go before the noun in Spanish. Usually, the go after the noun.

Submit

HAMBRE (Hunger) is used with TENER (to have)
