I shouldn't bitch because it's not costing me anything but I wish the translator sites that I use were better. It's such a hassle at times that I just write things out without checking them. | By Tight_fit on Saturday, December 06, 2003 - 09:14 pm: Edit |

Hi, Tight_fit
Here are a few remarks. Some are simple crossovers from Spanish.
2. a que horas (not as que horas).
3. e acaba (not y acaba).
6. Isso (not Eso). Also, demais is one word.
7. Nao faz mal (not Nao faz mau). mal is a noun here that is pronounced the same as mau.
11. gostariamos has an accent on the i. The reason I mention it is that it affects the pronounciation by having the emphasis on the i, not the following a (which would be the default). Also, de vir (not de ver).
13. Porto doesn't have a hat accent.
14. Quando (not Cuando).
17. E ele (not Y ele).

Some of us never learn. I can't tell you how many times I doubled checked my spelling and yet the same errors get repeated.
