Hello everyone,

The Picture of the Day. Game for practicing and having fun.

- 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 accuracy. ;^)

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: Monkeys!
(Please correct my English)

Me too, Margherite...their faces seem to tell the story. jeje - rac1, Nov 30, 2013
Chippendales are only boys, right? Then should be: " ..es uno de esos.. " :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013
That is correct RC. - ian-hill, Nov 30, 2013

jajaja...very good. I wish I knew what 'it' was! - 0095ca4c, Nov 30, 2013
Very good! You used first "esta" and then "éste". If you did it on purpose, the second one should loose the accent. "Esta" = (this, feminine), "Este" = (this, masculine). :) - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013

¿Que es esto, Config. fábrica? No se vamos a ver, y sí.

En el otro cuarto: Abuelita, ¿Sabes donde está mi celular?

What is this, Factory settings. I don't know lets find out, and yes.

In the other room: Gramy, do you know where my cell is?

No matter what your age, the sight of a new gadget makes you feel like a ten-year-old child!

No importa la edad que tengas, la visión de un nuevo gadget te hace sentir como un niño de diez años.

Except for my mother. She hates electronic gadgets..."It's not like the old days where a person had to be smart and do it themselves. Now everything is done by a machine!" lol lol - 0095ca4c, Nov 30, 2013
Ten-year-olds are only thrilled at first. They don't necessarily know what to do. - Raja-jani, Nov 30, 2013
See that "su edad" (formal you) != "te hace sentir" (informal you). Should be "tu edad". Another alternative: "No importa la edad que tengas." - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013
Thanks, RC. I like your alternative! - Raja-jani, Nov 30, 2013

The good old days. - heliotropeman, Nov 30, 2013
I was the remote when I was a kid: ) - Ranman, Nov 30, 2013
Haha...yes, that sounds like my Mom! - 0095ca4c, Nov 30, 2013
"volumen" + "mi esposo no me dejaba/permitía nunca tener/coger el mando a distancia". In Spain we say "mando a distancia" I know they have another word in LatinAmerica which I can't recall. Un saludo. - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013

And this is Jorge, our cabana boy, showing off his muscles. You won't believe what he could do with that lion tattoo.

Y esto es Jorge, nuestra cabaña chico, mostrando sus músculos. No creerás lo que podía hacer con ese tatuaje de león.

Hahaha....very good. I'd like to know also! - 0095ca4c, Nov 30, 2013
"Y este es Jorge, nuestro 'cabana boy' (I can't find a good translation)" + "lo que podía" if this is past for 'what he can' or "lo que podría" if it's conditional tense. - RelaxingCup, Nov 30, 2013
