peer agreement (net): +5there's plenty of time for that/ we have plenty of time for that Explanation: In Collins on-line dictionary "falta mucho todavia" is translated "there's plenty of time to go yet". I would suggest in this context,as the proposed is laughing (riendo) as she answers, that she is responding cheerfully to being asked, but does not think there is any rush as they have plenty of time. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-19 12:47:21 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe just \" We have plenty of time\" |
