Does Anyone Speak Spanish?

Here's one from our embroidery forum yesterday...

"I want to put "I Love Daddy" on a burp cloth in Spanish. Can someone translate it for me? Thanks"

Answers...

Babelfish translates it as "Amo a papá" http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr

"According to my son who takes spanish, it would be " Yo amo Papá "


Yo amo papa" is the more formal way with the litteral "Yo" ("I") included, but in common usage you would drop the "Yo" and just say "Amo Papa" which would be understood as "I love papa" even though you leave out the "I" (Yo) from the phrase.' The babelfish translation is interesting because if you translate it back from Spanish To English using the same phrase it translates back as "Master To Papa" which might also be appropriate -- especially for a little girl :-) -- Larry
