Talk:Hotel Ricky Ricardo

Translate this shit. You know the drill; direct translation, with all Chris's misspellings intact, and literal, showing intent. This is gonna be awesome. LStaley416 02:02, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * I'll get started on it. My Spanish is awfully rough, but Chris's Spanish is so simple that even I can understand virtually all of it in one pass. Llort 02:27, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * OR... I can waste my time starting a translation when someone else had already completed one and just didn't bother letting anyone know on the talk page that they were working on one 'cause they like making others look like stupid assholes. Whoo! Duplication of efforts FTL! Llort 02:49, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * Okay, seriously, why do people keep posting "alternate" translations here on the talk page? For one thing, just because I started translating this first doesn't make my translation the "official" translation, with all others being "alternates". (Like I said earlier, my Spanish isn't that great.) And for another thing, all translated text should be posted directly to the article page itself, not this talk page. Really, everyone, incorporate away! Llort 04:56, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * Yeah but no but, because we're lazy and it serves as a documentation. :3 RachmaninovDESU 16:52, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * Alright, I went ahead and posted mine. Yanohabloespaniol 07:44, 26 October 2009 (CET)


 * Why does he keep referring to the rooms as "habitations"? I am familiar with both Spanish as spoken in the Americas and (formal) Spanish spoken in Spain, and I rarely ever hear rooms referred to as such. "Cuarto" (literally "quarter", as in "sleeping quarters") is the most common word used for the word "room", the word he uses is overly formal, and almost scientific. Smells like Google translator to me, lol. Fat Nigger 09:45, 28 October 2009 (CET)

Alternate translation by gusvansant
He translates it as Richy Ricardo, not Ricky Ricardo...

Intended Translation?
I ran this through Google Translate, and it translated "Plaza Estación" as Station Square. Since this probably predates the invention of CWCville, and since he includes Sonic characters among his guests, he probably did set his fake hotel in Sonic world. I don't speak Spanish, but it's worth noting this for whoever fully translates what Chris actually meant to say. BananaKid 22:38, 26 October 2009 (CET)
 * I think this is intended. Remember, Sonichu has been around since 2000, and he probably had Sonichu's origins at least in his head at the time. Also, isn't Station Square something from the Sonicverse? --Champthom 01:13, 28 October 2009 (CET)

Mirrors - Long or Large?
Do you think Chris meant Long or Large? On the one hand, I suppose "long" mirrors are nice if you are, as Chris claims himself to be, slim and tall and therefore want to see your full figure. However, if you're Chris as he is now, you'd want a large mirror so you can see your entire girth. So what do you think Chris meant?

Also, on a side note, don't insert fucking comments like "lol" into actual documents. There's a degree of leniency in an article but please, if you want to point out Chris isn't really fat, don't insert snide little comments but link to another article to contrast it. People who keep doing that will get fucking banned. --Champthom 01:13, 28 October 2009 (CET)

Wikifying
Okay, I added some wiki tags to the translation: apparently there isn't an article for Red Skelton: who knew? Anyway, I'm sure all the non-Sonic people mentioned must be based on real people, but I only caught Kelly Andes. If anyone wants to try and translate the rest, feel free Bladedone 05:52, 28 October 2009 (CET)
 * I added a little article about Red Skelton and linked it up. Yes, I have no life. Dkaien 21:39, 28 November 2009 (CET)

Tocar versus Jugar
From what I recall of high school Spanish, tocar is to play such as an instrument whereas jugar is to play a game or a sport. Wouldn't it be jugar since we're talking about video games? Then again, I'm someone who would get funny looks when I asked to "navegar por la Red" at an Internet cafe. --Champthom 21:12, 28 November 2009 (CET)
 * Pretty sure you're right there, since "juego" is the noun used for video games. Dkaien 21:40, 28 November 2009 (CET)


 * You're absolutely right. Tocar (literally touch) for instruments, jugar for pretty much everything else - sports, (video)games, &c. --Elke 23:28, 28 November 2009 (CET)
