impermeable

HI All

Le doy un impermeable por el paraguas.S-F

(I will) give you a raincoat for the umbrella.Lit.

Does this actually mean a cover for an umbrella. I get that a raincoat is an impermeable, just sounds really strange in English. I know that this is literal, but I feel that when one is translating, one can't always be literal.

Hi Maxie, 
 
My apologies for any confusion caused with this sentence. This sentence should be interpreted as "I will give you a raincoat in exchange for the umbrella." It implies that someone is offering someone else a raincoat in exchange for an umbrella. This is covered in the audio track around the 13:45 mark. 
 
I hope this helps!

Thank you Jonathan

That explains it
