For that kind of thing I use Freetanslation.com. It was able to translate hyperactive. They are trying out a new version of their website.

Free Translation and Professional Translation Services from SDL

Thanks. This website worked. The translation is hiperactivo. I am looking for the meaning of another spanish word related to hyperactiviy in children. I'm not sure of the spelling or the correction pronounciation. Hiperactivo wasn't it. It begins with M and sounds like 'macreo'.

Apologies for my vagueness. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tish

Reading this made me realize-I don't think I've ever heard anyone in the DR use the more neutral and medically sounding word 'hiperactivo' to describe a person or animal. The more common expressions, unfortunately, seem to be molestoso (annoying), inquieto (restless?) or muchacho del diablo (child of the devil), fu?on (as in le gusta fu?ir demasiado) or jod?n (as in le gusta joder la paciencia).

The word is "travieso", as I've heard many Dominicna mothers refer to some of their unruly children when they come to pick them up after school. ;)
