Spanish Question: Mellizas or Gemelas? - GoFuckYourself.com

AlphaSky · 08-12-2009, 03:43 PM

Hi, can't figure out which way to go with this translation in Spanish:

The Apple Twins =

1) Las Mellizas Manzana
or
2) Las Gemelas Manzana
or
3) Las Gemelas Hermanas Manzana? (maybe too much there)

I found both ways of saying twins in Google, but it looks like Gemelas is the popular way? Is Mellizas too formal?

Thanks for your input!

Las Gemelas Manzana is the best translation IMO (im from Mexico)

Dizygotic twins = Mellizas

Monozygotic twins = Gemelas

isn't "Apple" being used as a name here though? maybe "Las Gemelas Apple" would make more sense, like "The Bush Presidents" wouldn't be translated "Los Presidentes Arbusto"

Captin is correct!

Depending on the word structure or sentence it would be "Las manzanas gemelas" Not "Las gemelas manzanas"

Very good point. "Apple" is a name, and I think Manzana is the name of the fruit. Even though they are the same? confusing....

anybody else on that issue? Thanks!

GT-Omar · 08-12-2009, 04:13 PM

Although apple is the name. It's being used in a plural sense. Kind of like saying "the twin Larry's, or Tom's" "The Larry twins, or tom twins" doesn't really translate over to well.

Thanks,

so is this o.k. then: Las Gemelas Apple

I found on Google, Las Gemelas Olsen.

Thank you for your time.

GT-Omar · 08-12-2009, 04:35 PM

I personally would keep "Las gemelas manzanas" and olsen. With manzana's you have a better chance of getting picked up in a Spanish country coded SE, for instance Google.com.mx for Mexico, .com.esp for Spain If you have the domain Las Gemelas manzanas.com that would even be better.

Anytime. I'm here to help, and you can always hit me up on icq as well.

troncarver · 08-12-2009, 05:18 PM

you should hire Omar -- i am sure you will fuck up the translations

Except that manzana doesn't sound sexy at all. Google spiders don't join paysites

Thanks great tips. Yeah, we'll go with Manzana for the seo stuff.

You wrote "Las Gemelas Manzanas" The Apples Twins, shouldn't it be: "Las Gemelas Manzana" ?? The Apple Twins ?

The guy from Mexico said "Las Gemelas Manzana" was correct as well.

Thanks again!

Manzana doesn't sound sexy at all, but Manzana's does. And the Gemelas before it also signifies "plural feminine". The spiders don't join pay sites your right, but the placement they give allow suffers to find it easier, and they do.

"Las gemelas manzana's" is the choice I would go with like wise with "Las gemelas Olsen's"

I'm still partial to "Las Gemelas Apple"

people in south america don't call this a "Manzana Macintosh"

ManuelX · 08-13-2009, 12:48 AM

Gemelas are identical twins, mellizas are just twins(not identical).

You make a very good point here as well. We have "Las Gemelas Manzana" up right now, but I think "Las Gemelas Apple" is better. We use "Las Gemelas Jolie" for the other site, so they both should match.

Thanks

Does sound good to you also?

"Las Gemelas Apple" for: The Apple Twins

isn't "Apple" better as it is a proper name, vs. Manzana which is the fruit, instead of the name?

Thanks DHentai for your time.

v4 media · 08-13-2009, 04:45 AM

Keep it as Las Gemelas Apple

you wouldnt translate 'rafa nadal' *nadal is catalan for christmas*
to 'rafa navidad' or 'rafa' christmas'

or Julio inglesias to Julio church.

Hentaikid · 08-13-2009, 06:19 AM

I'm a native Spanish speaker and using manzana is dumb, sorry, it's not like people are looking for apple porn on google

yuu.design · 08-13-2009, 08:34 AM

"Las Gemelas Apple" looks good ;)

d-null · 08-13-2009, 03:19 PM

this thread could use a pic or two of these Apple Twins

michael.kickass · 08-13-2009, 04:01 PM

Las Gemelas Manzana <-- Las Hermanas Gemelas

Apple is "manzana", a fruit, any porn site in spanish lang use "apple", you can use your
english domain "theappletwins.com", but inside, don't use "manzana", use "hermanas"
or "chicas"

Saludos!

AlphaSky · 08-13-2009, 05:23 PM

Excellent points all. Thank you very much. We're gonna change it tonight to: "Las Gemelas Apple" for their title.

Thanks for the input!
