  1. I believe Aye Caramba! has no direct translation.  


  2. Quite a few words, actually.

    Alcapurria, for example. That's a traditional Puerto Rican dish. No translation.

    Cuatro is another one. Not "cuatro" meaning the number, but the musical instrument.

  3. "Añoranza" - is very hard to translate as a single word; it's a kind of longing/homesickness/nostalgia all rolled into one.

  4. The ones that have not have already been borrowed by English (fiesta, mosquito, armadillo, etc...)

  5. sombrero. but i think pretty much any word that don't have a meaning in english is eventually just borrowed

  6. I never knew how to translate Vive la vie(french) , (wich is Viva la vida in spanish) to english.. Guys,How could I translate viva ??
