Tengo

This week in spanish I learned about how the direct translation of saying " I am cold, or I am hungry" is kind of funny. You are literally saying I am with cold or I am with hunger. This is a good example of why word of word translation does not always work in spanish to english.

Tengo frio.

  1. It's the same way in French, "I have hunger" :) That makes translating from one language to another challenging, but fun, too. I'd like Andy to post something poetic in spanish, and then see everyone's interpretations of it!
