Spanish Learning Game 2
Game #2
The same rules:
1.-I write a colloquial Spanish word (or an expression).
2.-Anyone (who wants to play) has to write a sentence (or two) using that word.
3.-I'll correct people's answers.
Today's word: "Pasta"-> This word have several meanings: (You can see all the transaltions here: http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=pasta )
For example:
1--This italian food is called pasta -> http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasta
2--This kind of cookies/biscuits (or pastries) -> http://lacocinasanademery.blogspot.com.es/2009/04/pastas-de-te-regalo.html
3--"Pasta de dientes"-> http://nologia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pasta-dientes-vitamina-b12.jpeg
---But the coloquial meaning is "money"; "cash". This is the one you have to use in the game.
OK, Game is on ;)

Yo Pensé que la palabra por "money" en espanol estaba era "dinero", (Yes, the word "money" in Spanish is "dinero". It is the neutral way to say it. "Pasta" is not a prison slang word (he he he) but a very colloquial word. So everybody (in Spain) knows it, but of course it is not good if you use it in some places, for example in a job interview) quizás como tú dijo dices en tu el texto, no tuvo la había oído de eso porque lo es una expresión colloquial exprecione. (colloquial expression.="expresión coloquial", just one "L". In Spanish double "L"->"LL" sounds similar "y" in "year")
la cosa mal Lo malo es que si yo estaba estuviese siendo robado como atracado por ("to rob" is a false friend->in Spanish we say "atracar". "To rob a bank"->"Atracar un banco"; "To be robbed by somebody"->"Ser atracado por alguien". "Robar" is "Steal"-> For example, "He stole their money"->"Les robó el dinero"; "She stole my heart"->"Ella me robó el corazón") un ladrón y me pregunta
para mi dinero pidiese la "pasta" (as fast rule: "ask"->if you make a question->"ask"="preguntar", if you "ask for something" then->"ask"="pedir") i miraré estupid parecería estúpido cuando me respondiese: lo siento, sólo tengo este dinero, ja ja
Good job wakey!!!

================================
I thought the word "money" in Spanish was "money", maybe as you said in your text, I had not heard about it because it is colloquial expression.
the bad thing is that if I was being robbed by a thief and he asked me
for my money I would look stupid when I replied sorry I only have this money ha ha

Vickie->If you say: "Me gusta mucho comer" ->"I like food so much / I like eating so much"; ................But if you say: "Me gusta comer mucho" -> You mean: "I like eating a lot of food"
