Picture of the Day: "You're Grounded!"

Question

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice languages and have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain exactly as RelaxingCup designed them.

• 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.

• 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.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Muchas gracias amiga. :) - rac1, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 2

¿Qué te dije? ¡Que no te metas en el agua! Hay que esperar unos 30 minutos después de comer hasta que puedas nadar.

What did I tell you? Don't get in the water! You need to wait about 30 minutes after eating until you can swim.

I remember that rule, is it an old wives tale? :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 11, 2014

No, it's actually just common sense. When you've eaten, your blood is working to digest your food, so you have less energy for swimming, and can also get bad cramps from less blood. Nice sentence! But you should put 'minutes' after '30'. :) - Ghosthawk, Aug 12, 2014

Answer 3

I said, "Do you want to dance with me?"

Te dije, ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?

Te dije (it needs to match the tú form of querer) ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 11, 2014

Gracias Kiwi :) - ian-hill, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 4

I've told you and I've told you: no swimming until you've done your homework!

Te he dicho y te he dicho: ¡no nadar hasta que hayas hecho tu tarea!

"no nadar hasta 'que hayas' hecho tu tarea." :) - 003e54f5, Aug 11, 2014

So the second clause is subjunctive because it hasn't happened yet. Do I have that right, pablo? - AnnRon, Aug 11, 2014

Funny , Ann! Good one Hhahha :) - FELIZ77, Aug 12, 2014

sorry I forgot 'nada de (nothing about) nadar hasta..' yes Ann check this :) http://www.spanishdict.com/topics/show/102 - 003e54f5, Aug 12, 2014

Answer 5

He oído hablar de agarrar al tigre por la cola, pero nunca de agarrar a una nutria por esa de esta manera antes de ahora.

I have heard of grabbing the tiger by the tail, but never of grabbing an otter in this way before now.

jejeje - rac1, Aug 11, 2014

'pero nunca de agarrar a una nutria de esta manera antes' - 003e54f5, Aug 11, 2014

I suppose that "before now" can be translated as "antes" since that "antes que ahora" it is understood but sounds strange. - 003e54f5, Aug 11, 2014

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 6

His fun has been curtailed.

Su diversión ha sido interrumpida

Hahahaha, I love it!! - rac1, Aug 12, 2014

Answer 7

No swimming means no swimming. You should follow the instructions of the lifeguard, or else...!

Se prohibe nadar significa no nadar. Tienes que seguir las instrucciones de los socorristas, ¡ o si no....!

Answer 8

A donde crees que vas?... es hora de tu medicina!!. Where do you think you go?..... It's time to take your medicine!!!!

Welcome to the Forum! - 00ffada9, Aug 11, 2014

Good job ereinoso - don't forget to fill out your profile so we know your native language and the one that you're learning :) For the English it sounds a little more natural to say 'Where do you think you're going? Sigue así , bien hecho :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 9

Arregla tu cuarto primero; luego puedes ir a jugar. Sé que eres adicto al juego de Hca en SpanishDict.

Tidy up your room first; then you can go to play. I know that you are addicted to Hca's game in SpanishDict.

Is it wrong if this is my favorite answer? ;) - 00ffada9, Aug 11, 2014

No, my friend. May you have more addicts! - Raja-jani, Aug 11, 2014

arregla (this is the tú form of the command) to match 'puedes' ;) luego puedes ir ... - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 11, 2014

Gracias, K-G. - Raja-jani, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 10

Geeze mom. How embarrasing. All the other little otters moms are letting them play.

Oye mamá. ¡Qué vergúenza! Todas las mamás de las otras les permiten jugar.

les permiten/dejan jugar (no need for the 'a' there) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 11

You know you can't swim!

¡Sabe que no puede nadar!

Very clever! - 00ffada9, Aug 11, 2014

Answer 12

Qué bien que el pequeña nutria tiene una cola cómoda y así su mamá puede agarrarla .

How good that the small otter has a comfortable tail and like that its Mom can seize it.

Answer 13

The queue starts here... Don't break in line!

La cola comienza aquí. ¡No rompas filas!

Answer 14

Estás fuera del agua y en el fuego.

You're out of the water and into the fire.

Answer 15

From The Godfotter, Part 3:

"Just when I thought I was OUT, they pull me back in!"

"¡Creí que me hubiera escapado, pero ellos me meten de nuevo!"
