Todo el tiempo en el mundo
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:20 am
My wife and I both have Spanish as a second language, though she speaks it better than I.
The other day I was waiting for her to do something so that I could go to work.
I said:
íVieja! ¿Crees que tengo todo el tiempo en el mundo?
This literal translation of "Do you think I have all the time in the world?" almost certainly fails to work well in Spanish.
And I'm not really sure if the preposition should be "en" or "del".
Does anyone know an idiom in Spanish for "all the time in the world", or that would communicate the same idea?
