Please only answer if you speak spanish fluently--or will not just go onto an online spanish translator or something...
How would you translate these morals into spanish?

-Little by little does the trick

-Do not give up even when it seems impossible

-Thoughtfulness is superior to physical strength

Gracias~

I read a lot of American mags (such as Guitar world) and the term " I have a Jones for..." pops up quite a lot, as well as "I'm Jonesing". What exactly does this mean? and where does it originate from?

I recently read this sentence in an ad one of my counselling expert aquaintance wrote on his visiting card. However I think it is a gramatically incorrect sentence. Though I was not able to explain why it wasnt correct but i did suggest my friend that a better and a gramatically correct sentence will be - "If you are tensed & anxious" or "if you have a feeling of tension & anxiety". Can someone give me the reason why.

hello everyone, I'm Italian and I'm at my first year of studying English at University. I had studied English at highschool but definitely not at the same level. Basically our professor destroyed all our knowledge (or at least, what we thought we knew) of English in an hour and a half.
First question she asked, that we have to do some research about for homework. ''He can run faster than I (can)'', ''He can run faster than me''. Both sentences are grammaticaly correct. BUT what's the difference in the function of THAN in the 2 sentences?
And also, what's the difference IN MEANING between some and any? can you say ''Alex likes any beer/Alex likes some beer''? (I guess the answer is YES, but why doesn't it sound right?)
I know these question might sound really stupid for you English native speakers, but we have never been taught grammar this way. it was just a bunch of rules. why this woman, and rightly so I believe, wants to know WHY.
thanks so much in advance.

I really like this song but I've always been curious about the translation. can anyone traslate it for me. it's in italian. it's called Land & Freedom (terra e liberta). I know it has something to do about war and fighting for thier rights back.
Terra Lontana
Liberta che non torni piu
Con tutta l’anima
Lo vorrei ritornar loggiu
S’eleva un canto
Che dai profondo si libera
Voce di un sogno
Che per sempre vivra

Terra perduta
Liberta sei soltantotu
Sei tu la musica
La poesia della gioventu
D’oro e d’argento
Il tuo ricordo m’illumina
In questo buio
Senza te restero

Inesorabilemente
Lo torno a te col cuore e la mente

I want to know how to properly say, "Good?" or "Very good?" in both languages. I emphasized the question mark because I want it to be like a question. Is it, "Bien?" ...or something else? Basically, I'm trying to ASK if it is good or good enough... thanks!

An increase in the oil price generates an increase in these resources’ price as well, which is good for our export revenues. What we do need is to improve our energy efficiency, because this *country very* behind on this and it is having an effect on our overall competitiveness.

Still, it is our policy to reduce flaring as much as possible, and we are very active in using gas for LNG or other purposes. But these projects depend on the economic viability, so if the volumes are too small there will be nobody willing to invest in the transformation because it will not be *commercial*

If you're beginning to learn a language and have a difficult question(and some really are, even for native speakers), why don't leave the choosing of a best answer to people who really know?
If you know the answer, why ask?
