Picture of the Day: You called?

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less 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!

This thread would benefit greatly from an official Spanish corrector. If you would like to help out in this way, please send me a PM. We have a wealth of native English speakers, but a severe shortage of those fluent in Spanish.

Here is the previous Picture of the Day: You're coming with me!

And here is the Picture of the Day:

"See" instead of "Saw" :) "Saw" is past tense. - 00ffada9, Jan 8, 2015
No, ¿Alguien vio "a" mi novio? ¿Adónde se fue.? (I would have used a different tense. PM me if interested,) - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
I would use "Has anyone seen (alguien ha visto)." I also would avoid the comma splice by putting a question mark after "boyfriend" and starting a new sentence. I'm not sure what purpose the "no" serves at the beginning of the sentence. - AnnRon, Jan 8, 2015
@Ann: That's the tense I would have used. "¿Ha visto alguien a mi novio? Then the future of probability with ¿Adónde se habrá ido? - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
Which would be in English: "Where could he have gone?" - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
Looking at the "no" they could be saying" ¿No ha visto nadie a mi novio?" The alguien changes to nadie when you start a sentence negatively - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
I forgot the English. "Hasn't anybody seen my boyfriend?" That's the first sentence done negatively. - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
@Daniela, ah, I hadn't considered that (negative) possibility. In that case, it would need different punctuation. - AnnRon, Jan 9, 2015

"intoxicado" has more the meaning of "poisoned" (maybe you have something there) For drunk we say "borracho" or "ebrio" , with the former being the most popular. - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
Daniela, thanks. How would you express getting high on drugs, for example sniffing glue? - gringojrf, Jan 9, 2015
Check out my answer on the post Ser and Estar with Feliz. All of those terms can be used. - Daniela2041, Jan 9, 2015

Si crees este es increíble, espera hasta veas los pulgares oponibles.

If you think that's amazing, wait 'til you see my opposable thumbs.

@Ann, "hasta que veas" this is one of those subjunctive thingees. - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
Gracias, Daniela. Debería haber sabido ese. - AnnRon, Jan 8, 2015

Después de ver el planeta de los simios, Felix empieza a creer que si anduviera de una manera bípeda, quizás sería capaz de tomar el poder en la casa, y capaz de hacer reglas que a él le gustarían.

After watching Planet of the Apes, Felix began to think that if he were to walk in a bipedal manner, perhaps he would become capable of seizing control of the power in the house, and capable of making rules that he would like.
