What is 'treasure chest' in Spanish?
estime pecho
ok if someone asks what i did yesterday would i say
-fui a la..
(is it the past of ir?)
Hmm...I'll be right back. It's in my Spanish notes, I hafta get them.
Okay I got it.
Ir is an irregular preterite tense, right? So the conjugations would be:
Yo fui
Tu fuiste
Ella fue
etc. etc. etc. So yes, your right.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Yes, the verb "ir" is irregular in the Preterit. (It looks just like "ser" in the Preterit so be careful!)
yo fui, tú fuiste, él/ella/usted fue, nosotros/nosotras fuimos, ellos/ellas/ustedes fueron.
Now, a little lesson on how to use a dictionary. Invest in a good paperback English to Spanish, Spanish to English dictionary. It is an investment in your future, at least in your Spanish III class. Look up "treasure" and write down ALL the possibilities you find = el tesoro. (Lucky you, there is only one!) Next, look up "chest" = el pecho, el cajón, el cofre, la cómoda. Here comes the most important step. Take each Spanish word and look it up for the primary meaning. You will find out rapidly that you do NOT want "el pecho" nor probably "la cómoda."
Since one noun can not modify another, you are forced to say "the chest of treasure." Give it a try and repost to be sure you are correct!

To find out what "treasure chest" is in Spanish, you can use an online translator or consult a Spanish-English dictionary. Here's how you can do it:
1. Online Translator: Open a web browser and search for "Spanish to English translator" or a similar phrase. You will find various online translation tools like Google Translate, WordReference, or DeepL. Choose one of these and type "treasure chest" in the English input box. Then, select the translation direction to Spanish. The translated phrase, "treasure chest," will appear in Spanish.
2. Spanish-English Dictionary: Another option is to use a Spanish-English dictionary. You can find physical dictionaries or use online dictionaries like WordReference or SpanishDict. Open the dictionary of your choice and search for "treasure chest" or "chest" in the English section. The dictionary will provide the corresponding Spanish term, which is "cofre del tesoro" or simply "cofre."
Remember, online translators can be quick and convenient but may not always provide the most accurate translations. Consulting a dictionary is a good way to verify the translation and gain a deeper understanding of the language.
