If I somehow managed to post this message twice - my apologies to the group! I'm trying to convince my computer I know what I'm doing but I don't think it's listening :P

Anyway, can anyone who feels like being really nice translate the Spanish spoken by Jimbo & Ned in episode #208?

I'd really really appreciate it!!

Ned and Jimbo reach the fireworks shop:

(The shops' sign reads "Cohetes" ROCKETS)

Jimbo: "Buenos dias my amigo" (Good day my friend)

Jimbo: "Yo soy un Americano espectacularrrrrrr" (I am a spectacular American)

Guy: "Que?" (What?)

Jimbo: "Yo necesito un el FIREWORKO espectacularrrrrrr!" (I need one spectacular the fire work-O) This is the way he said it in Spanish which is not correct as you can see.

Ned: "No moleste al gato espectacularrrrrrr" (Don't molest the spectacular cat) "moleste" can also mean bug or annoy, so you take your pick on what he meant.

Then they speak English and at the end Ned says "Bueno" which means "good."

I know Spanish, but they were speaking so fast I couldn't translate it all. I did know what Ned said in one of the dialogues:

"No molesto un gato spectaculare." That means, and I quote, "Don't molest a cat spectacular." Bad Spanish by Ned there. ========================

Actually all Spanish spoken was pretty much correct exept for one line Jimbo says: "Yo necesito un el FIREWORKO espectacularrrrrrr!" (I need one spectacular the fire work-O).

I took this statement by Ned as an allusion to the conversation the boys had had earlier about using fireworks to torture cats (specifically, Cartman's cat). Sort of a running joke, if you will. Ned was trying to convince the rocket peddler that they weren't planning to use the "firework-o spectacularrrr" to abuse a cat, but his Spanish was pretty rough-- as most Americans' would be when trying to converse in another country.

Then again, Chef didn't seem to have any trouble communicating in Aruba...

I completely missed that - but that makes so much sense! Thanks :)

Yes, assuming they understood him. But I think his intentions were obvious enough.

Somehow, Chef never seems to have trouble comunicating <G>.

I appreciate it guys~~

"Don't molest a spectacular cat" - LOL! :)

No, bad translating by YOU. In spanish you say the adjective after the noun. as in, 'un hombre gordo'

Sorry, an error there, it's...

"Don't molest a spectacular cat."
