Anyone speak Spanish?

[Yvonne G]

We have a new member who has been using the 'conversation' part of the forum who needs assistance in what to feed her tortoise. She is having trouble with English.

If there is a Spanish-speaking member who knows what to feed tortoises I'm sure she would appreciate if you would message her and maybe show her how to post on the open Forum.

Her username is - @Efrain


Thank you so much!!!

Maybe she can use a translation app? gTranslate - Universal Translator by Christophe Dirac https://appsto.re/ca/6diex.i

I speak a little but May is right you can pull text and put it in the translator. Great app.

Hi, guys- I'm the one this lady has been messaging. The problems are the finer points of the language: apparently "grass" and "weed" translate to the same word in Spanish. I think I was able to help some with that. We're now into confusion between the weed "Broad Leafed Plantain" and the fruit "plantain" that resembles a banana.

Her English is really good overall, and she's reading Tom's threads on sulcatas. But I keep Hermann's and she has a 3 month old sulcata. She is having difficulty getting onto the open forum. I'm over my head here.

What if we give her scientific names and pictures?

Grass is usually hierba or yerba. Plantain is plantango.

Depends where she is from. Spanish has a lot of different dialogues. Pasto is grass. Where as heirba is weeds.

Pictures are worth 1000 words.

Agree but here's the problem when you google pasto you get pics of grass.

 

[Jabuticaba]

Isn't grass/pasto what we're after, though? That's what certain tortoises eat.

I speak Spanish, and English exactly the same I'm bilingual!

 

[Hermes]

My wife is Puerto Rican, I'm pretty sure they call weeds "mala hierba" in Cuba where my family is from is called "Hierba mala" some times it is spelled "yerba" but is pronounced the same. Grass is called either "pasto" "grama" "hierba or yerba" or "césped".

 

[Moozillion]

I haven't heard from her in over a month, and she has not responded to my query if she has contacted any Spanish-speaking members, so I don't know if she's even on the forum any more.
