    Im late, and probably you solve this thing, but I can traduce anything, Im from Mexico, and I can help you, next time.

    BTW, conquistador, some words are awful

    haigas :mad: es hayas

    aver = haber

    A sido = Ha sido

    And you miss all the accents.

    sorry, but I hate seeing all those errors in spanish, I know Im not a perfect english writer, but in spanish, Im good at that.

    well, we use haigas in el Salvador which also means cochazos. In spain, they use hallas, which is the correct term, never heard of HAYAS . I did miss the accent marks since it was a quick message. I don't know of anyone who uses their accent marks when they text message me, maybe lady di but that's about it. and wow i did miss the gusto, no excuse for that :(

    david rocket and swoly
    TKM :)

    Look in any Spanish grammar book in Spain or El Salvador and it will assuredly say hayas. It's the present perfect subjunctive tense. No creo que tu hayas ido nunca a un partido de los Rockets. Espero que vayas por lo menos a un juego durante esta temporada.

    Spanish might be the easiest language to master if you are a native English speaker. Once you start attempting to learn other languages like Arabic, Russian or Hindi, you will realize how easy Spanish is in relation to the others.

    I didnt say Spanish was hard, I got an A both years. I just thought it was boring. In my senior year, I'm in Chinese II Honors, its much more interesting.

    In response to the original question, I can't even say no in Spanish...

    Actually, I can, but I'm not as good as some of you guys, so I won't even try...

    All the Latin languages are easy to learn since they're all very similar. I'm fluent in Spanish and know some Italian and French.

    Touché, rhino, you got the right idea, dude.
    You're better than him, but "guey" should be "güey". Good stuff anyway, man.

    What is "TKM", conquistador? Is it the Harper Lee novel? I don't get it... I don't... :confused:

    The auxiliary verb "hayas" is of the infinitive "haber", which aids in conjugating the verb "pasar". I don't see "haigas" anywhere in its conjugation (see http://www.spanishcourses.info/SpanishVerbs/pasar_conjugar_669_ES.asp), so STFU about it being in the "diccionario salvadoreño", man... that's SLANG. :p

    maud'dib, it means "w**** mother", and it is not something very nice to say.

    Look, I think that out of all of us, the one that could possibly do the best job ENGLISH->SPANISH would be david_rocket, and I might be able to give him a good duel, but he's in MEXICO, so he's got the right resources and is closest to the action.

    Lady_Di, I think I see why you had trouble with that guy... you pick the bad ones... ;)

    WTF? :mad: He misspelled his entire translation! I see you failing your SPANISH class, milady.

    david_rocket and I despise you now. What's with all this "no more 'true' Mexicans" now?!?!? What the eff? I mean... What the eff, Lady_Di?!?!? What the eff? :(

    conquistador: like swoly said, hallas and hayas, are two different words,

    hallas es una conjugación del verbo hallar, y hallar is the translation to find

    hayas es la conjugación de haber

    And conquistador, in a msn chat or a text message or an informal letter you can miss all the accent marks, but its better if you put them.

    Lady_Di, I thought that you were a nice person, but why you say that Im not a true mexican, I born, and lived all my 23 years in Mexico.

    And Swoly thanks for the nice words you say about me, and I think you would do the best job in a SPANISH TO ENGLISH translation.

    And I LFMAO when I saw that word with mother in it. (I dont want to repeat it, because is an insult, and I dont want to get penalized for that)

    Deja de joder nene que no todos conosemos las teclas para poner los acentos.

    Por que nadie me dijo que Ricky venia? Fue mi preferido miembro de Menudo.

    Si pero tiene conotaciones distintas. Es como declarar "sh*t" o "f*ck"'

    Ahora el insulto "hijo de puta" or "la concha que te pario" son insultos mas grandes. Por lo menos en todo pais latino americano salvo la Argentina.
