"Cuando voy a lo de mi abuela estaciono el auto enfrente de su casa. Para volver tengo que tomar la calle que cruza detrás de donde estaciono . En vez de dar la vuelta manzana y tomar esa calle, pongo marcha atras y me meto en la calle"

the Spanish word "baboso"...it´s used to talk about a man who always drools over cute girls /women. "Lecherous " or "lewd" would be too harsh. "Baboso " has a humorous connotation.Is there an English equivalent?

No e -translators:

" Que soja ni que soja! No hay nada como un buen pedazo de carne!"

"Hay un gran diferencia entre que te pida un favor alguien que no conoces a que to lo pida alquien que no conoces"

You pay a lot at that restaurant and the service is awful. The service does not correspond (or match?) with the price

What was the attitude of the catholic Church towards free market before Vatican II? I used to believe Catholicism was perfectly compatible with a free market economy.However, Pius XI said that :"Just as the unity of human society cannot be founded on an opposition of classes, so also the right ordering of economic life cannot be left to a free competition of forces. For from this source, as from a poisoned spring, have originated and spread all the errors of individualist economic teaching. Destroying through forgetfulness or ignorance the social and moral character of economic life, it held that economic life must be considered and treated as altogether free from and independent of public authority, because in the market, i.e., in the free struggle of competitors, it would have a principle of self direction which governs it much more perfectly than would the intervention of any created intellect. But free competition, while justified and certainly useful provided it is kept within certain limits, clearly cannot direct economic life."

On the other hand, Leo XIII seemed to favour a free market approach, or at least he didn´t speak against it He alos defended private property and means of production , while at the same time he emphasised the importance of protection of worker´s rights.

Could please clarify this for me?

Por favor ,expliquenme que dijo la Iglesia católica ANTES DEL VATICANO II con respecto al capitalismo y al libre mercado. Incluyan, en lo posible, referencias. muchas gracias

Please, I need to know if Rammmstein are satanists.

I´m catholic, so I ´m careful with the kind of music I listen to. Do you guys think Rammstein worship Satan?I´ve been listening to them for about a month, as I´m learning German. I find their sound pretty good, but some of my friends have pointed out that Rammstein are said to be satanic.Is it true?

Which of these words have a negative connotation and which ones mean "mischievous in a funny way"?

Scallywag

Scamp

Rascal

Rogue

Scoundrel

Can all these words be used for either a man or a woman? Also, aren´t they a bit old fashioned? How does the expression "you rascal /rogue/scoundrel!" (said to someone who´s done something naughty and amusing) sound? How would you say that in a more "modern" way?

..and he doesn´t want to marry the child´s mother.However, he must send the child a certain amount of money every month.Is that called an alimony?

I might be traveling to the USA in January (looking forward to it)

I´ll be staying in Tampa Fl, where I have some friends. However, I´d like to visit some other cities in America. Since I´m a tourist, my budget is a rather limited one..

What would you recommend that I do to travel to New york? Take the train or just fly there?

Is there an economical way of traveling around the USA? How about the Greyhound?

thanks in advance
