New game - A B L E

There are many words in English that end with the letters A B L E

The idea is to find one and write a sentence using it and translate it into Spanish.

Example.

I am able to speak Spanish.

Puedo hablar español.

SPEAK SPANISH photo: Se Habla Espanol SeHablaEspanol.jpg

Easy right?

Fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge.

This thread has no official corrector so please correct where you can. Gracias.

table = mesa

The table is wobbly.

La mesa es tambaleante.

Tambaleante is a new word for me. Normally I would have used (not stable = no es estable).
