"¡Este banco no tiene dinero!"

Translation: This bank has no money!

[MercyEhm]

This is good to know in case, as a tourist, you wish to express your miscontent after robbing a bank

[nadine226]

This is the best comment ever

[HappyMeme1]

lmao haha

[Lou661450]

Yeah, you are hilarious.
It is fun when Duo makes us laugh!

O puede ser un banco de sangre. .Which would mske it a food bank for vampires...

[Mia567057]

I feel like the more advanced you get in the language the weirder the sentences get

[Estevan447850]

I gave up on trying to get a literal translation on some things and learn the phrases meanings. E G. Al cerca de and tengo que. Cerca google translates to near. So, "to the near of" makes cero sense. When i have time I scan the net for literal translations. I understand cerca is literally "side". Al cerca de works with this translation.

Banco de comida, HUH?

[FerEtayoRguez]

We say banco de alimentos in Spanish. Alimento is another word for food.

[evelyn264159]

Did I miss something? How did you go from banking to eating?

[Nick_Pr]

A food bank is a place where people who cannot afford food can go to get food.

[Soepkip5]

This bank doenst have money was incorrect... why?

[Glendq0]

this bank doesnt have money - that is what I wrote too.

[sguthrie1]

Because you misspelled "doesn't".

"Doenst" is not an English word. (Perhaps it's a German word?)

[GraceOM]

....said Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

[ArrigoC]

...y Señor Willie Sutton.

[EmmaMoreno883496]

No money you say. Hmmmm. I wonder why. kicks bag of money further under bed

[Duff645436]

Oh no, Tio Billy? Que tu haces?!

[Ichheisewilhelm]

Its 2008 all over again!

[LobstaJohnson]

Sadly, my cousin lives in Venezuela and has actually used this sentence in her daily life.

[YonderGome1]

Eso es correcto, los bancos en Venezuela no tienen dinero.

[red_rook]

Don't use this bank

[akirkley468]

I was marked incorrect for replying "This bank does not have money" which is a literal translation

[sguthrie1]

But not the best English. It's wordy; not succinct.

[Yellowstoned]

If money doesn’t grow on trees, then why do banks have branches? So a bank must be a tree. If a bank’s a tree then are we squirrels?

[Alex856915]

Sure, but some of us deal with more nuts than others.

[Tim460873]

Es WaMu?

[Estevan447850]

Jajajahahaja mi Tex-Mex risa

[KyleFenorme]

@Tim460873 ROTFLMAO!!

[KyleFenorme]

No es ese tipo de banco.

¿por qué no es 'este bano no tiene ningún dinero'?

[TheOneTheYoshi]

How did we go from banks to bathrooms?

[JeanDeux]

All it takes is a single letter and the bank goes to the toilet.

[Lou661450]

Clever!!

[AnnSummer37]

It's subtly different. "...no tiene dinero" = "...has no money/doesn't have money;" "...no tiene ningún dinero" = "...doesn't have any money."

[SGuthrie0]

Good question.

Any answers from those who know?

[sguthrie1]

Instead of stupidly giving down votes, why not answer the question?

¿por qué no es 'este bano no tiene ningún dinero'?

[BarbaraMon385640]

Buena pregunta!

[themonkifier]

That might be a problem

[Cowboy16078]

Not what you want your bank to have...

[raphahelloo]

= Bankrun

[Igor543877]

IMHO sounds good but non-specific :) Could be better "¡Este banco no tiene dinero para ti!" Polite answer to the loan/mortgage application :)

[Isabel303668]

Que Lobo!!!

[James489350]

Robar bancos?

[WodgerWabbit]

¡Pobre pocito banco!

[DavidJames554997]

Was it robbed?

[VictoryStar527]

Alright, who took the money? >:(

[ElloboCher]

Well then its not a bank then is it?

[AnitaLiElManika]

The bank doesn't have cash.
I wrote.
I guess Duolingo isn't accepting informally written answers?

[sguthrie1]

Not really correct. It's not an issue of "formality."

"Cash" is a different word from "money". They (Duo) use "efectivo" for "cash.

[Bigbrave007]

says a thief

[MmeErzulie]

the collapse of capitalism is imminent

[laci94]

Hasn't got should be accepted as well..

[sguthrie1]

Not really. It's not very good English, nor translation.

"To get" is "conseguir"

[Beto330368]

Los bancos tienen solamente moneda fiduciaria.

[JamesBlack406425]

Is the gender neutral esto inapropriate here?

[AnnSummer37]

It would be, yes, because we know the object (banco), and we know that it's masculine.

"Esto" is for ideas/abstract concepts or when referring to an unspecified object.

[Cindythequilter]

Why does it have to be este instead of esta

[ArrashNick]

Britain after Brexit

[Tim294818]

?No puedo typo 'bench'?

[Beto330368]

Due to the reference to "money" Banco means a banking facility. Bank can also mean a place to sit (banco/a, banquillo ) or a river bank (orilla).

[thesummerdancer]

uh-oh. That's not good-might be a problem! XD

[Charlie971429]

no sound!
