       Today's task is to finish a comic strip: Add text to the
       speech/thought bubbles
       Here are the pictures, one by one:

       All you need to do is write down the numbers and your text next
       to them.
       1. "Hi!"
       2. "Go away!"
       etc.

       1) Hola que haces allí?
       2) No te importa un bledo, déjame tranquila.
       3) Niñita son dos días que estás enfadada, tu amorcito no va a
       volver. Se fue con la hija del conde. Vuélvete a tu casa.
       4) Cállate. Hago lo que quiero.
       5) La vida es sueño dicho Calderón de la Barca, y yo no sé si
       estoy viva o muerta, despierta o dormida. Voy a esperar aquí.

       1. Hello, do you want to play with me?
       2. Leave me alone. Don’t you see that I am busy?
       3. Did you find an answer to my question?
       4. I’m still thinking about it. It’s a hard dilemma.
       5. What came first the chicken or the egg? Why do philosophers
       ask such difficult questions? My Mommy told me that I am born
       from an egg that she had laid but who had laid the original egg?
       Did God create the egg or the chicken first? Who’s God anyway? I
       never met him. If he exists why did he create dinosaurs and then
       let us disappear?

       1. Scusami signore, come arrivo alla valle delle margherite?
       2. Mi dispiace, non sono di qui.
       3. Questo insetto è sempre disorientato. Fa così ogni giorno.
       Abbiamo bisogno di un cartello che dice "non disturbare".
       4. Che bella idea.
       5. Un sogno... ovviamente. Ogni drago sa che animali chi parlano
       non esistono.

       2) No te importa un bledo, déjame tranquila.
       [/quote]
       "me importa un bledo" = I don't give a f*ck
       "te importa un bledo" = you dont give a f*ck
       Literally, "me importa un bledo" means "it's as important to me
       as pigweed". I've never heard this idiom used with a negative, I
       suppose it would then mean "I/you (do) give a f*ck". :)
       If you wanted to say something like "none of your business" or
       "f*ck off", there's a variety of expressions to choose from.
       Some of the less offensive ones are here:
  HTML https://www.spanishdict.com/answers/110721/how-to-say-its-none-of-your-business-in-spanish-thanks
       The most common (and rather offensive) one would be "Vete a la
       mierda". :)

       1. Verdammte Drachen! Ich hasse sie. Wenn ich einen sehe, werde
       ich ihn vollkacken!
       2. Das ist nich sehr nett.
       3. Ein interessanter Fakt: Drachen sind nach den Statistiken
       weniger intelligent als andere übernatürliche Wesen, egal
       wieviele Köpfe sie haben.
       4. Was ist hier los?
       5. Aufgabenliste für morgen: 1. Tierschutzkanal abbestellen.

       Nice one, Nikola! And very good German! :)
       Please let me explain a couple of things:
       1. Although "nicht" is often shortened colloquially to "nich'",
       it does need an apostrophe if you want to use it - which is not
       ideal in written German. ;)
       2. I didn't mark it, because it's not a mistake, but "Fakt" is
       not used that often in German, although it does exist. We
       usually use "(die) Tatsache".
       3. "nach" is a tricky one. I know it often comes up in
       dictionaries as a translation of "according to". However, since
       it's usually used in its temporal meaning ("after"), we tend to
       avoid it in other contexts, unless it's followed by a name, e.g.
       "nach Freud/Jung/Einstein". And even then, it's most often used
       to mean "according to Freud's/Jung's/Einstein's methods", not
       when we're quoting somebody. If you do want to use it, I
       recommend combining it with the verb "urteilen", e.g. "den
       Statistiken nach zu urteilen". (I don't think I'd have bothered
       to point this out if the rest of your text had been less
       perfect, grammatically. ;) )

       Thank you, Alharacas. "Nich" was a typo :) Just to double-check,
       "ihn vollkacken" means "poop all over him" right? Because Google
       translate suggests "f*ck him up" when I run the text through it.
