Thread: My translations are screwed up

I have been training my dogs in Spanish for 4 years. I spent 8 years in Spanish and was bi-lingual. However, a brain injury wiped it out. I now only remember bits when I get upset or really drugged in the hospital :-P

I have had teachers from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Espana. So now I think the commands I am using I have mixed things up, or mixed tenses. If someone could help with the commands below and give me the correct ones:

(Also, please excuse the lack of correct grammerical marks. I don't have my keyboard set up for them)

Stay: Estancia
Sit: Sientese
Stop: Parada
Down: Abajo
Silence: Silencio
Come here: Venido aqui!
Up: Enima de
Back: Parte posterior
Lay down: Coloque
Get up: Levantese
Go to you house!: Vaya a su casa!
Get down!: Consiga abajo
Want to play?: Quiera jugar?
Careful: Con cuidado
Behave: Comportese
Listen to me: Eschucha me
Let's Go: Vanamos of Vamos

I need command for UP as well.

Please do not laugh at my translations. They are literally stuck in mind and I will pop out a phrase. I am hoping to restart classes soon to rewire my brain from the brain damage and get my spanish back. Hopefully no more waking up from surgery to find a spanish translator and I can't conciously speak it... *cry*

¡Hola Caia! // Hi Caia!

Esta es mi pequeña ayuda: // This is my little help:

Stay: Estancia ► 'Quieto'
Sit: Sientese
Stop: Parada ► 'Para' Me parece que 'parada' puede confundirse con 'stay' // Seems to me that 'parada' can be mixed up with 'stay'.
Down: Abajo
Silence: Silencio
Come here: Venido aqui! ► '¡Venga aquí!'
Up: Enima de ► ¿Sería lo contrario de 'abajo'? Entonces es 'arriba'. // It would be the opposite of 'abajo'? Then it's 'arriba'
Back: Parte posterior
Lay down: Coloque ► 'Acuestese'
Get up: Levantese
Go to you house!: Vaya a su casa!
Get down!: Consiga abajo ► 'Agachese'
Want to play?: Quiera jugar? ► '¿Quiere jugar?'
Careful: Con cuidado
Behave: Comportese
Listen to me: Eschucha me ► 'Escuchame'
Let's Go: Vanamos of Vamos ► 'Vamos'

Espero que te sea de ayuda // Hope this could help you.

Because I believe the relationship you have with your dogs, is a personal relationship, I don't think you are going to treat them with the proper "usted" words.
So here is my take (cause I have pooches too) on personal spanish commands:

Stay: Quieto
Sit: Sientate
Stop: Para
Down: Bajate
Silence: Silencio
Come here: Ven
Up: Sube
Back: Atras o haste para atras
Lay down: acuestate
Get up: Levantate
Go to you house!: Vete a tu casa!
Get down!: Bajate
Want to play?: Quieres jugar?
Careful: Cuidado
Behave: Comportate
Listen to me: Eschuchame
Let's Go: Vamos o Vamonos

Hope this and other translations by other members jog your memory!
Best wishes!

Mucho gracias!

I have gone to the next step myself and enrolled in some classes. I want to get back to where I was before. I LOVE the language! I am then going to learn my own Native American language (Choctaw). There aer some words that are VERY close but some major differences like what sound the CH makes.

I can't thank all of you enough!! Lady Erith, my great dane, passed her test and is officially my service dog. Now I can correct her commands and take her with me in public.

Now I just have to get the Siberian Husky to learn

¡De nada Caia! // You're welcome Caia!

Los Siberian Husky son inteligentes, seguro que va a aprender. // Siberian Husky are intelligent, sure he will learn.
