How do I say (in Spanish): "How much would you like to spend 3 or 4 hours with me". Thx.

¿Quiere usted 200 dólares para la Navidad?

My guess is that she wouldn't fall for the old line
Soy colgado como un caballo

Cuanto te gustaría a pasar 3 o 4 horas conmigo?

Diablo,

You are bad. How about "Cuantos colones para tu culo?"

That is right to the point!

Bond Trader,

Since you have also shown an interest in the SL front desk, don't forget these important phrases:

"Que es el CRT?"

"Soy ecologista."

"Tengo un carta American Express negro."

"No tengo una esposa, pero, quiero. Caro no problemo."

orange got the right answer

Except for the "a" between "gustaria" and "pasar".

What I wrote is correct. The "a" can be left out or included, both ways are correct.

You are absolutely wrong. It is never correct to put the preposition "a" between the verb “gustar” and another infinitive.

Examples:

Te gusta bailar? – Correct
Te gusta a bailar? – Incorrect

Te gustaria pasar tres o cuatro horas conmigo? – Correct
Te gustaria a pasar tres o cuatro horas conmigo? – Incorrect

There are several verbs that do take the preposition “a” (ir, aprender, comenzar, etc.), but gustar is not one of them.

Examples:

Vas a bailar?
Comienza a llover.
Aprende a leer.

Here is a list of some others: http://www.elearnspanishlanguage.com/gr ... rep-a.html

It may be a minor correction, but hopefully it will prevent guys that are just learning Spanish from sounding like dumb asses.

Upon further review, I'm not clear as to what you are actually trying to find out. Are you asking "How much would you enjoy spending 3 or 4 hours with me?", or "How much money would you like for spending 3 or 4 hours with me?"

If it the former, see my previous post. If it the latter, say "Cuanto dinero te gustaria por pasar tres o cuatro horas conmigo?"

Gracias maestro!

And if you can't remember "cuanto te gustaria a pasar tres o cuatro horas conmigo?"; just ask in english--they ALL understand "how much money for" and-- 2 or 3 or 4 hours. Thou I think it is great that you are interested in talking to them in espanol, and they really appreaciate it ( and frequently it will help in lowering the price and or quallity of service)
