When you run into someone you don’t expect, the world isn’t just small, it’s un pañuelo - a handkerchief. Most simply, it describes “the father/mother of one’s son/daughter-in-law.” This can make translation between the two languages challenging when a concise statement in Spanish like “That’s John he is my consuegro” becomes “That’s John he’s the father of my son/daughter-in-law.” “I stayed like a stone when I saw the car crash.”Įxplaining consuegro and consuegra in English requires multiple words and considerable mental calculation on the part of the translator. Quedarse de piedra literally translates as “to stay like a stone.” For example, in order to say “I froze when I saw the car crash in front of me,” a Spanish speaker might say me quedé de piedra cuando vi el accidente de coche. Hispanophones use this expression to describe when someone is stunned or frozen from shock. Ojo is the Spanish word for “eye.” But look out! In certain contexts, it can mean “Watch yourself, because I’m watching you!” A puente “bridges” the gap between the holiday and the weekend. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday, workers might have a puente in which Friday is also a day off work. Used in a literal sense, puente simply means “bridge.” In other contexts, it refers to an extended weekend that arises when a public holiday falls near, but not directly adjacent to, a weekend. If you were ever a student, worker or perhaps just an architecture enthusiast in Spain, you no doubt rejoiced upon hearing this term. For the sake of simplicity, they all originate from Spain.

Some translators don't list the device's battery life, but for those that do, opt for one with at least six hours' worth of juice when fully charged.Spanish is the world’s most widely spoken Romance language, and its proliferation in different countries and locales presents its own set of translation challenges. The last thing you want is a translator's battery dying on you while in a country where you don't speak the language. Conversely, a keyboard-based model might limit you when figuring out what others are saying. A voice-input translator might be your best bet if you’re primarily trying to translate conversations. Think about how you’re likely going to use an electronic translator. Be aware that the do-it-all types might not have quite the vocabulary range of dedicated models, but if you’re jet-setting all over, having a lot of the basics covered-versus buying a different translator for every language-might be ideal.ĭepending on how often you travel, you might want to weigh whether it’s better to splash out a bit more on a translator with better voice recognition and vocabulary or grab a budget model that covers the basics for a one-off adventure. Some translators can handle any language you throw at them (or, at least, quite a lot of them) others are equipped to handle one language only, like Chinese or Spanish.
