Translation of “bloody” etc. for frustration (colloquialisms) Yeah I suppose they are used more in some places than others. I'm from New Zealand and they are very common here. Also these words may not be used much in other regions but I think that they would be easily understood/recognised. |

Are there any words in Spanish that are very difficult to translate to English? I've come across lots of other translations such as: crook, scoundrel, cheeky etc.. I've heard it in contexts where the person is calling someone a sinvergüenza to insult them using one of the above translations or 'shameless' as you mentioned. Also I've heard it being used as a friendly sort of 'shameless' used to describe a kind of outgoing person who's not embarrassed by anything. |

Translation of “Are you ok?” or “Are you alright?” I would use "¿Te encuentras bien?" especially if i knew the person was sick or not feeling very well and "¿Estás bien?" more generally like Sergi mentioned =) |

Translation of “What's wrong?” May I also add that you can also change the connotations of your questions by adding words to the end. Eg. ¿Qué te pasa chiquito? - A compassionate question ^.^ ¿Qué te pasa boludo? - A little less friendly >.< |

7up in Spanish speaking countries Thanks. The reason i didn't expect 7up to be naturalized was because of the fact that the seven is always written as the number not the word =) But I suppose with media such as TV and radio, you frequently hear it as well as read it. |

Translation of “awkward” (as in “an awkward situation”) Wouldn't 'torpe' be better translated as uncoordinated or clumsy? |

Can I learn to roll my R's? Having lived in Argentina for a while, this is mainly the case for 'rr' more than 'r' especially in the north |
