Please translate these two simple sentences

1. What is your preferred destination?

2. Take charge of your destiny.

when do you use destino vs. destinacion?

Thank you
Tareine

Hi Tareine, welcome!
In the first sentence I believe the word "destination" means the place where you want to arrive. In the second you mean "fate".
In Spanish these are both translated as "destino" and the word "destinación" does not exist, as far as I know.

Let's see what other "forumers" think jejejeej :)

Hi Tareine,
We would need more context for your phrases, but I can give you my options...
1. What is your preferred destination? = ¿Cuál es su destino preferido? (referring to trips)
2. Take charge of your destiny. = Ser dueño de su propio destino.

I hope this helps!:rolleyes:

out of context we can´t tell you much, but I´m pretty sure they´ve been right...

The first phrase sounds like a tourist guide, but the second one seems to be written for a motivational book. I agree with all the colleagues, we need more context.

Gracias. That's very helpful.

Tareine

by curiosity, I have a question.

well I need help with a expresion.

here we go.

" as you can see, she's less together than the sick one"

I heard that expression, but I don't understand it.
if you can help me, I will be grateful.

I don´t understand... if you can give us some context... that would help a lot!

hi Milton,

Natives, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard the expression "pull yourself together" meaning: "recompose yourself" or, in Spanish, "retomar las riendas de tu vida " o "Calmarse, tranquilizarse".


Your sentence means "ella está peor que el que está loco / enfermo/a". To be *less together* in this context means "to have less control over oneself".

Hope it helps,
Victoria

That is it exactly, Victoria. I completely agree with your interpretation. You can also say "to get your act together" or simply "get it together" which leads me to think that is what the sentence means.
