If I want to say "I can't" in Spanish..would I say "No puedo."?

And how would I say "I know." would I say "Yo se" with an accent on the e?

How would I say, "That is not funny" would I say "eso es no comico" or would I say something else? And what about "Why are you laughing?"

And is "What is your problem?" "Cual es tu problema?"

Also, this guy at my work said "dices ___guy's name at work__ "no toque (pronounced to-kay?? sp??)" I am unfamiliar with that word..what did he mean? Thank you!


I'm sorry so long! Gracias mis amigos! :)

I can't: No puedo

I know: Lo sé,
I already know that: Ya lo sé
I know it: Ya me lo sé

That's not funny: Eso no es chistoso

Note: Funny-gracioso, divertido, chistoso, curioso

we also say:

No te rias-don't laugh
No tiene gracia-it's not funny
Que gracioso (sarcastically)-very funny

You could use cómico but not a lot of people use it.

Why are you laughing?-Por que te estas riendo?
also:

De que te ries?-What are you laughing at?
De que te estas riendo?-What are you laughing about?

What is your problem?-cual es tu problema?
also:

Que te pasa(problema)?-What's wrong?

"dices ______ no toque"-"you say------- don't touch."

Toque-verb Tocar

Yo toco-I touch
Yo toqué-I touched
El toca-He touches
El tocó-He touched

No toque por favor-Please, do not touch.

1. "No puedo" is correct, unless it's to do with something learnt, in which case you can say "No sé."
2. "Yo sé" or "Ya lo sé." Even though the second means literally "I already know it", it's often used for "I know."
3. Eso no es divertido / comico [accent on first "o" - can't be bothered to look it up!] / gracioso.
4. Por qué ries?
5. "Dices" is "you say" and "no toque" is "don't touch". Like "You say, John, don't touch!"

Yes, No puedo
Yes, Yo sé (to know something) yo conozco (to know somebody)
That is not funny = eso no es cómico (also OK) but you can also say eso no es gracioso or eso no es divertido.
Why are you laughing? = ¿De qué te ríes?

Cuál es tu problema (with accent on the a)
I don´t understand what you mean with the last sentence. Maybe,
Say ..... guy's name at work ... don´t touch.

Lots of questions, let's go one by one:

I can't: No puedo
I know: yo se, o yo conozco
That's not funny: no es divertido
Why are you laughing; ¿Por qué te estás riendo?
What is your problem: Cual es tu problema?
"dices...no toques" : you say... don't touch.

Happy 2007

I can't = no puedo or no sé (Can you swim? No, I can't = ¿Sabes nadar? No sé.), but literally is "no puedo".

I know = yo sé or ya lo se (you are beautiful, I know = Eres preciosa, ya lo sé).

That's not funny = No tiene gracia

What's your problem? = ¿Cuál es tu problema? or Do you have any problem? = ¿Tienes algún problema? (In Spain we say the second one)

I don't know what do you mean with the last one.
no toque = don't touch

eso es no comico.. is too formal, they would laugh at you. say....''no mames''
Why are you laughing?"
''de que te ries''and you can add ''pendejo''
no toque..no lo taches... or no taches...pronounce it like this toke with a little accent at the ''e'' like french!

If you know someONE you would say, "yo conozco"
