How do you say.

It took quarter of an hour to fix it.

Mainly just the "it took" and "to fix it" part, I know the middle bit
thanks x

I hear this all the time from my coworker, mostly as she is hanging up the phone. I've heard it alot of other times as well and Ive always wondered.

Ordelay.

I'm probably spelling it WAY wrong, but what does it mean?

And any other cool Latin phrases....? Thanks.

I need help translating this Latin to English. As you can probably see i'm not getting it very well.

Vulcanus* de terra dura formam feminae pulchrae sua arte (abl. of means, by his own art) creavit. Minerva ei (to her) vestes (clothes, acc. pl.) argenteas* donavit. Etiam ei (to her) Vulcanus coronam auream donavit; Iuppiter ei (to her) ollam* donavit. Dei et deae feminam pulchram amaverunt --erat similis *deae. Ei nomen (her name) erat Pandora, quod omnes (all, nom. pl) deorum ei (to her) dona donaverunt.

Vulcan formed beautiful women by his own creation from the hard earth. A godesss gives her clothes of silver. Also Vulcan gives her golden crowns; luppiter gives her a jar. Gods and Godessess beautiful women love is likened to goddesses. Her name is Pandora, it is to her which all is given to.

Dei Pandoram ad terram miserunt (sent, perfect tense). Sed Pandora erat curiosa*. Pandora operculum (lid, acc. sing.) ollae removit. In olla erant tota mala (evils, nom. pl) virorum! Mala in totas terras et aquas volaverunt. Eheu! (Oh!) Solum (only) una anima in olla mansit--Spes (hope, nom. sing). Spes *** viris remansit.

The God Pandora was sent to earth. But Pandora is curious. Pandora removed the lid from the jar. In the jar are all the evils of man. They prefer to fly in all land and water. Oh! Only one spirit stays in the jar --- hope. Hope remains with man.

*Vulcanus = Vulcan, Roman god of the forge
* Minerva = Minerva, Roman goddess of war
*olla, -ae, f. = jar
*argenteus, -a, -um = of silver
* similis is followed by the dative case (likened to...)
*curiosus, -a, -um = curious

As a non-native speaker, I often come across the word "den" in books and articles from the US, but I am in doubt about what it is. Is it an extra living room that is made to be cozy; for play and watching tv for instance, or...? Or can it have other functions, for instance as an office/library or something..?
Grateful for any helpful answers !

or something equivalent to that but not mushy sounding. there's a guy who DOES speak English but i think it would be nice to say it in Spanish because he helps me so much with the Spanish speakers at work and he doesn't really have too. he is a really nice guy. how would you say that in Spanish "your a nice guy" or "a good friend to me"

I have used sign language with my 15 month old daughter for nine months. She is responding very well, and is signing back about 5 signs!
Anyway... my question is: How does the hard of hearing community feel about hearing people and children using sign language? Is there any resentment? Sometimes I feel awkward about signing with my daughter in public because I don't want to offend anyone. I'm sorry if this sounds silly, I don't know any other way to ask it!
Thanks guys!
