1. you can say
x luchara por ti. (accent on last a in luchara - I can't do it from here.)
Literally means x will struggle for you

3. And it works even better when you put a luchador mask on x

Works EXTREMELY well to let folks know that they are safe against offending demons, maurading undead, and invading martians.

On edit: I think Edwards would look good with one on!

6. Thanks. I took Spanish and don't remember the accent.
I took several years of Spanish and my Spanish is deplorable. Believe it or not, at that time, I couldn't find a single Spanish speaking person with whom to practice the language other than my teacher who was not a real personable type.

8. Vamos a luchar para ti.
Or, if you don't know the person or group very well:
Vamos a luchar para Usted.

11. I live in a neighborhood with lots of Spanish speaking voters.
To register to vote, you have to be a citizen and therefore legal.

15. Small correction

It's: _______ luchará por ti.

(it is por, not para like some wrote. And I've added the accent).

16. Oh, dear. I printed everything with para.
Thanks. I'll change it. Does it look too bad if I use para? Is there a huge difference?

18. here is what freetranslation.com translated
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 06:56 PM by judaspriestess
"luchará para usted" or "luchara por usted" (forgot to add) I like "por usted" better

You are using it to address more than one correct? Then its ok to use this verbiage.

Heres another way:

El fighto for el you-oh (just kidding)

22. If you are talking future tense then it should be:
Future of the verb luchar

yo lucharé
tú lucharás
él, ella, Usted luchará
nosotros lucharemos
vosotros lucharé
ellas, ustedes lucharán

I like luchare para usted (sorry can't do the accent mark)

Good luck!
