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 and H C A student continued.

  • 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 soon 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 en un rato, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

  • Please, give everyone a chance and post one or so captions and no photos.

  • Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon más o menos una respuesta, sin fotos. .

Please encourage everyone with a vote. smile

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

Here is the previous Picture of the Day:

We were getting giddy so we're leaving.

Nos iban a dar vértigo por lo que estamos dejando.

'Nos estaba dando vértigo así que nos estábamos yendo'

so we're leaving. = so we are leaving.

¿Sueñan los caballos de carrusel con ser libres? No lo sé, pero creo que los androides sueñan con ovejas eléctricas.

Do carousel horses dream of being free? I don't know, but I think that androids dream of electric sheep.

Can you miss something you have never had? - jrschenk, Aug 22, 2015
Maybe not miss it per se, but we all dream of things we have never had. I think Phillip K. Dick was trying to make us consider exactly what level of self-awareness merits individual rights. ;) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2015
Oh I just suggested Porcupine to use 'carrusel' :D - Pablo064, Aug 22, 2015
Like I said, my vocabulary is not always that of Spain- just a mix. I do know tiovivo though. Thanks, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2015
Just for anyone who does not get my reference: Phillip K. Dick wrote a book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which served as the basis of the movie Bladerunner. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2015

Es muy comprensible que los caballos de un carrusel también necesiten poco de tiempo libre.

It is very understandable that for the horses of a merry-go-round also necesary a little free time.

..necesiten..poco de tiempo.. I think that 'carrusel' would be more universal in Spanish 'tiovivo' seems to be from Spain - Pablo064, Aug 22, 2015

No, there's no minimum. Let me know if it continues. :) - rac1, Aug 22, 2015
It is all capital letters, You have to space them out P E T A, I am surprised that you got it through :) You can put two capital letters together like PM, but then you have to seperate them. - sanlee, Aug 22, 2015
It is weird that sometimes you can do the capitals, but most of the time not. I have yet to figure out a pattern to it. But there probably is one. ;) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2015

'Acaba de dejarlos ir e ir por..' Subject+just+simple past in Spanish often is 'Subject+acabar de+infinitive' in this case I used infinitve+direct object pronoun 'dejarLOS' e.g 'I just saw something: Acabo de ver algo...' - Pablo064, Aug 22, 2015

The ponies that are just about to start their shift are not as frisky as these.
