Picture of the day: Stony-faced-palm.

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm bringing back The Picture of the Day Game for practicing and having fun. I borrowed the following rules from an old post of DJ_Huero (I made minor changes). I hope he doesn't mind.

- Guidelines -

Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language correctness.

Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

Remember to correct your posts as suggested. Posts that are not corrected cannot be "accepted".

Recuerda corregir tus respuestas según las sugerencias. Las respuestas que no estén corregidas no podrán ser "aceptadas".

Please give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

I will advise on the Spanish part, and I'm still looking for volunteers on the English part.

Yo aconsejaré sobre la parte en español, y busco a algún voluntario para la parte inglesa.

This is the previous: Picture of the day: Suspicious pets.
(Please correct my English)

[about the statue]

Thanks for the chance to have a little fun. - kirk1, Oct 5, 2013

I am glad you brought back this game. :) - 0083f5dc, Oct 5, 2013

Mee too! - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 1

Ugh, I can't believe the economy here.

Puf, no puedo creer la economía aquí. (I'm assuming it is a Greek statue)

hard to tell amigo...where's the fig leaf? - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Hey RC...if I'm reading your french correctly, you need to add an 'ed' to that word. :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

I know I know.. It's covered by asterisks. :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

No it isn't, you only used three and you need five!! - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

It's French but.. well. Economy is f***ed up there too. And excuse my French. (corrected) - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Where are you from RC?: ) - Ranman, Oct 5, 2013

I'm from Spain. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 2

I knew I should not play poker with those guys. Sabía que no debería jugar al póquer con esos.

You knew it but you did it ⇒ You are human. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 3

Oh man am I hungover.

Ay, estoy bien crudo.

Here in México bien is often used where you would normally see muy. The implication is stronger than muy.

For example: La comida fue bien rica.

Thanks gringo...I am going to file that away in the 'must remember' pile. - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

In Spain we use "bien" that way too, not "crudo" though. Good one! :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

What do you use in Spain for hungover? - gringojrf, Oct 5, 2013

We say: "tengo resaca","tengo mucha resaca","estoy resacoso","tengo una resaca enorme","tengo un resacón". For the record: the movie titled like that in Spain has been translated as "Resacón en Las Vegas" - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 4

¡Dios mío! ¡Que vergüenza! ¿Qué estoy haciendo aquí completamente solo y desnudo?

Oh my God! Such a shame! What am I doing here all alone and naked?

I would say "What a shame!" but I guess it's the same thing :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 5

Oh great! Another dumb question from a newbie! Why me Lord?

¡Que negra suerte Oh genial! ¡Otra pregunta tonta de un novato! ¿Por qué yo, Señor?

You can use sarcasm in Spanish too: "¡Oh, genial! ¡Otra pregunta tonta de un novato!" - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Hey RC...thank you. I'm glad you are around on a boring Saturday afternoon. I didn't know how to say 'Oh Great'. By the way, I was making light of the earlier post about using the translator, just in case :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Sheeze...a terrible thought just struck me! Perhaps I should have used the translator! I hope I don't get into trouble again! - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Don't forget to close exclamation marks :) - As for the other subject, I think people have the right to complain as well they have the right to answer a question or just ignore it. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Re the other question...me too! I want equal rights for all. Peace and love brother. :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

RC...where didn't I close them? I think I'm going blind. :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Never mind :P I am. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 6

It's all my fault!

¡Todo es culpa mía!

Hola amiga! No, it was mine! :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Good. Also "todo es culpa mía" :) - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

Thank you, RelaxingCup. - 0083f5dc, Oct 5, 2013

Answer 7

(La estatua) No puedo creer que me perdiera la foto del día ayer. I can't believe I missed the picture of the day yesterday.

hehe...took me a minute amigo. Very good. - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

"No (me) puedo creer que me perdiera la foto del día ayer" :D - RelaxingCup, Oct 6, 2013

Man ,I jacked that one up.Thanks. - heliotropeman, Oct 8, 2013

Answer 8

The statue dedicated to all Spanish teachers that endure teaching gringos entitled: Not ser and estar... again!

La estatua dedicado a todos los profesores de Español de que aguantar enseñar los Gringos se titula: ¡Ay! No ser y estar otra vez!

"La estatua dedicada a todos los profesores de español que perseveran en la enseñanza a gringos, se titula: ¡Ay! No ser y estar otra vez!" - RelaxingCup, Oct 6, 2013

Answer 9

Mi vida está arruinada. My life is ruined.

mi vida está arruinada my life is ruined

I did capitalize 'it', I know I did. I must have sticky keys. - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Hi there. We all hope that nickname of yours is transitory. Welcome to SpanishDict. Please fill your profile fully and use proper capitalization. - - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

it will be if you don't use proper punctuation on this site. Since it's a learning site, we must follow the rules. :-) - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Ok...these comments are all out of order. What is happening in cyberspace? - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Have i done anything wrong? - Spanish_Beginner, Oct 5, 2013

Hello Spanish_Beginner. The only thing you did wrong was not capitalize and use punctuation in your sentences. SD rules say you must. - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Welcome to the forum by the way. It's nice to see you participating. - 0095ca4c, Oct 5, 2013

Okay, i'm sorry for not using the correct punctutation. Is this forum beginner freindly? Or is this more suited to advanced people? - Spanish_Beginner, Oct 5, 2013

Hello Sp.anish Beginner, I edited your post just to show you how it should look like; don't worry, it's friendly but you have to follow some rules. - 00b5f6c6, Oct 5, 2013

Welcome Spanish_Beginner. Learning Spanish is hard enough, so don't get too upset with corrections. EVERYBODY makes mistakes...that is how we learn. Keep on trying, you are doing GREAT! - Rolest, Oct 6, 2013

Answer 10

He's stoned in more ways than one.

Está apedreado en más de un sentido.

I suggest, for instance: "Está tieso en más de un sentido" but always keeping in mind that this is not a translation. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013

That's a hard one to put in Spanish because the point of the sentence is the ambiguity of the word 'stoned'. - RelaxingCup, Oct 5, 2013
