So I'm making bookmarks with english to spanish phrases for my oot bags and i got the translation from google translator, but could someone who actually speaks spanish please double check for me that the translation is correct. I'd hate to have my guests try and use the phrases and have them end up saying "my monkey eats cheese" or something ridiculous like that.

TIA

 

What time is it?

Cuál es el tiempo?

 

Where is the bathroom?

Donde está el cuarto de baño?

 

Can I order food?

¿Puedo pedir el alimento?

 

May I see a menu?

Puedo ver un menú

 

When does the bar open?

¿cuándo la barra se abre?

 

May I have a margarita?

Puedo tener un margarita?

 

Two more tequilas please

Dos más tequilas por favor

I am a native Spanish speaker, I would not quite say it like that:

 

What time is it?

¿Qué hora es?

 

Where is the bathroom?

¿Dónde está el baño?

 

May I order food?

¿Puedo ordenar comida ?

 

May I see a menu?

¿Me permite un menu?

 

When does the bar open?

¿ A qué hora abre el bar?

 

One margarita please?

Una margarita por favor

 

Two more tequilas please

Dos tequilas más por favor

I fully agree with Paula V. I am also a Spanish speaker and the google translation is a little literal. Your guests would definately get by with it but it may be slightly awkward. GO with Paula V's suggestions they are correct.

That's a cute idea!

i 100% agree with all the corrections paula gave you.

also, FYI to people, NEVER use the online translators expecting them to give you correct results. they translate based on a word-for-word algorithm, so they are almost never gramatically correct because the word order in spanish is not the same in english.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
