Does anyone know how to say "the professions" (referring to jobs like law, medicine, politics etc - what may be considered 'top jobs') in Spanish?

Wordreference says 'las profesiones liberales' but on looking further, it doesn't seem right.

What does the German word 'Bullyversum' mean?

Nothing, in as much as it's, strictly speaking, not really a German word, it's a German bloke's name mushed together with a German word "Universum" means "universe", and, apparently, the "Bullyversum" is a theme park dedicated entirely to the German comedian Bully Herbig. Hence, Bullyversum. The Bullyverse.

(I'm failing to think of any English comedians who might get the same treatment! )

I'm going to learn Spanish this summer and I'll seek help then. I'm a Chinese and I'm willing to offer some help in translation although it seems that not many people are interested in Chinese TTATT

"Salgo con mis amigos al cine ver a las peliculas ..." = "Salgo con mis amigos al cine para ver una película".

To me, "para ver una pelicula" sounds a bit stiff as what the sentence is trying to communicate is that he/she does it often rather than just once. To me it should be:
Salgo con mis amigos para ver las peliculas

Hmm, I was interpreting it differently, but I see what you mean and you're right. Anyway "ver las peliculas" in that context sounds weird. It's not wrong, but we never say it, it would be "a ver películas".

How can I say the following in Spanish?:

-Contributing factors
-My viewpoint stands at...
-Although, we must consider that...
-If I were to have control...

Gracias

Could anyone help me just translate this one sentence? Please?

It's for a presentation on abortion for my Spanish speaking exam.



At times I ask myself: how would I feel if my mother had aborted me instead?


Me pregunto: como sentaria ....? and this is where I got lost

2)Can't think of a way of saying exactly that. I'd imagine such a construction doesn't really exist but you could something along the lines of:
"Desde mi punto de vista..." or "Mi punto de vista es que...".
3)Aunque debemos de tener en cuenta/considerar que
4) Si tuviera el control

(accents omitted)

A veces me pregunto: ¿cómo me sentiría si mi madre me hubiera abortado?"

(Which is a very odd question indeed...)

Just came across a phrase I couldn't translate without it sounding rigid.

1) We learn from our mistakes. (In to Spanish)

Thanks in advance!

in French would you say 'il utilise la description qui nous fait comprends la vie pendant la guerre', or would it be nous fait comprendre?

[t('.'t)]

Can someone tell me if this actually makes any sense please? I'm at a very low level of Spanish so I don't really know at all...

Pienso que la universidad va a ser tan bueno como lo hace. Sé que es solamente mi primero año, pero espero que voy a continuar gustando mi experiencia.

Pienso que la universidad va a ser tan buena como ??. Sé que es solamente mi primer año, pero espero que ??.

The ?? bits don't make any sense.

"Fait comprendre"

Par exemple: "Tu m'a fait rire"

Hi, I'm practising Spanish translation using the subjunctive for my A2 exam and I was wondering if someone could help me?

The sentence I am trying to translate is: 'When the project is developed air traffic will be denser.'

I know that when you have 'Cuando' in the future tense, it becomes the subjunctive, and is 'the project is developed' a passive? Or does it not become a passive because of the subjunctive?

If I were to say: 'Cuando el proyecto sea desarrollado, el trafico aéreo será más denso', would that make sense? If not, what should I say? (please explain why!)

Thank you

tl;dr: Does this make sense: 'Cuando el proyecto sea desarrollado, el trafico aéreo será más denso' if I want to say: 'When the project is developed air traffic will be denser.'?
