We say a lot of conversational things on this forum and with the advancements in facial recognition technology, in the future, employers or curious people may be able to submit your photo into some kind of website search engine and engine then scans the internet to find all the websites that you posted your picture on which could then prevent you from getting a job, or in worse case get you into hot water with the government that you're currently living under.
Nobody needs to know what anybody looks like (no offense to the original poster) and anybody who claims we are chickens for not revealing ourselves is just trying to manipulate us.

PM'ing each other for pics would be a better idea.

LOL this exchange makes me remember a conversation I had with one of my (English) flatmates on my first year in London. In Italian we also construct the equivalent of "how many years do you have". I asked this guy what that sentence would sound like in English, he thought about it for a second, then laughed and said like it sounded like two fellow inmates asking about how many years of conviction they received!The_Hero_of_Men wrote:I know how to ask someone their age in Spanish... I always figured that I could get away with asking a Hispanic person "como viejo eres tu?" if they already know english. But if they do not, it is then that what I am saying could be taken as an insult.E_Irizarry wrote:Se dice "Cuantos anos tienes?" en el lugar de lo anteriormente mencionado.The_Hero_of_Men wrote:Jeygonza wrote:This is the only picture of me I can put, this is me, I have nothing to hide. 100% Dominicana...
Tu es muy muy muy hermosa. Como viejo eres tu?
And if you want to say that somebody is looking good for their age, that can be said in many ways.
Por ejemplos, Esta envejeciendo con elegancia...con suavecidad....cualquier cosa.
Or Haces vieja muy buena o algo asi. (or something like that).
Como- How
Viejo- Old
Eres- Are
Tu/Ud.- You
"Come viejo eres tu/Ud." is a direct word for word translation of "How old are you". It would be just like me asking the direct translation of "Cuantos anos tienes":
Cuantos- How many
Anos- Years
Tienes- Do You Have
to a non-Spanish, all-English speaking person: it would, at best, make no sense whatsoever.
Language barriers can be funny...
