Can anyone translate these 5 spanish words into english please?

Question

Could anyone translate these spanish words into english???

1. la paloma
2. tumbao
3. el impermeable
4. alma (this could be just a name, I don't know, does it have any other meanings?)
5. el peleramo

please! I've heard these words a lot and no translators, not even my spanish teacher can translate them!

Answer 1

1. La paloma = a dove, a pigeon.
2. Tumbao = Dominicans use this word in order to say that someone knows how to dance, move, walk, or act in a very appealing way.
3. El impermeable = rain coat.
4. Alma = soul.
5. El peleramo = I've never heard this word in my life, sorry. I don't even think it exists. Check your spelling.

P.S. If your Spanish teacher couldn't help you come up with the English translation to these, then I don't know why she's even teaching Spanish in the first place.

Answer 3

the dove 4 paloma ,tumbao is a cuban word for school,el imperable means a rock that is incapbable of transmitting fluids,alma-soul,peleramo.don't know..alot of these words you have sound real old spanish. Another thing to keep in mind..not everyone pronounces the words the same..tumbao for me sounds like it could be Tumbado..which means Fallen

Answer 4

La Paloma-The Dove, El impermeable-The Impermeable, Alma-Soul. I couldn't find a meaning for tumboa or el peleramo.

Answer 5

1. la paloma = The dove
2. tumbao = N/A
3. el impermeable = The waterproof one
4. alma (this could be just a name, I don't know, does it have any other meanings?) = Soul
5. el peleramo = N/A

Answer 6

"paloma" is a Dove but in Venezuela "Paloma" is the Penis in vulgar terms
"Tumbao" or "Tumbado" is lie verbo intransitivo (pretérito lay, participio pasado lain) of person estar tumbado; of object estar; (be situated) estar, encontrarse; lie on your stomach túmbate boca abajo.
"Impermeable" is is waterproof "El impermeable" is The Raincoat
"Alma" is Soul
"el peleramo" I Don't Know, is the first time that i've heard

Is all i can do, Sorry for my bad english, I'm Learning. Glad To Answer and i hope the best for you.

Answer 7

1. The dove
2. Tumbao*- it's like a Bongo used for drumming
3. The raincoat
4. Soul
5. Peleramo* - Pele-: great 80's Brazil soccer player -ramo: branch (of roses) so could it be a bouquet of Peles?

* Some words can't be translated they just are...

Answer 8

These words cannot be explained in english. You say that your Spanish teacher could not do it. That is very strange.
Are you sure that she really knows Spanish ?

Answer 9

"Susi" is the most correct. And forget number 5. It's got to be some obscure slang. Some observations.

"Tumbao" in music usually refers to a riff on one of several percussion instruments - bongo, conga, etc.
It is also a contraction of "tumbado," which means fallen, or tipped over.

Alma is either "soul" or a woman's name.

The closest I can come to 5 is "peleonero," which is a Mexican variation of "peleador", which means "fighter."

Answer 10

Alma is a popular Spanish name

1. the dove
2. tumbao - its like a salsa type dance/music
3. the raincoat
4. a name
5.

I'll check on the others for you...
UPDATE: Sorry, couldn't find your last one. Try babblefish or altavista :))
