The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word – R U C K U S

(sustantivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Example:

His words caused a ruckus in parliament.

Sus palabras causaron un alboroto en el Congreso.

churchill quotes photo: Winston Churchill WinstonChurchill.jpg

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them, wink and me.

This was the previous challenge.

If my city were to have such a reunion, they'd have to build a town hall of the size of ten thousand football fields - Joydeep_Singh, Nov 20, 2014
That's a good one, Sandy. :) - rac1, Nov 20, 2014
Some town do have limits, but they are hard to inforce. - sanlee, Nov 20, 2014
I love the word brouhaha, Ray. You can tell something funny is going on with that word. - sanlee, Nov 20, 2014

I would say, un perro grande intento arrebatarselo (tried to snatch it from him) .. quitarsela looks more like that the big dog took off the small dogs clothes haha (but I am not sure if quitar can be used in this sense, please check with a native). - Joydeep_Singh, Nov 20, 2014
Thanks. I think I've seen 'quitar' used in the sense of lifting something off a person like a hand, i.e. unhand me. - Faldaesque, Nov 20, 2014
Yes but that ain't the same sense .. if you say quitarselo .. it would mean taking off a bone from the dog's body i think ... but i am not sure - Joydeep_Singh, Nov 20, 2014
Thanks. Also, I should've said -selo & not -sela because it was the bone that was taken aff/off, not the fish... Damnit !! ;-) - Faldaesque, Nov 20, 2014

Hace unos pocos años mi esposa y yo solíamos ver partidos de baloncesto en una universidad local, y unos pocos de los otros espectadores solían causar alborotos sobre las decisiones de los árbitros, lo que yo consideraba maleducado, aunque ellos eran parientes de uno de los jugadores y algunas de las decisiones eran muy malas.

A few years back my wife and I used to go watch basketball games at a local university, and a few of the other spectators were in the habit of causing raucous rows regarding the decisions of the refs, which I considered to be rude, even though they were the parents of one of the players and some of the decisions were very bad.
