Ian, wouldn't it be 'suyA' imagen as imagen and bruja are both feminine words? ;) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
I guess it might Feliz. Have you read my little story about my visit to Spain with Ray? - ian-hill, Aug 10, 2016
Foto is feminine too, so I have changed it amigo. - ian-hill, Aug 10, 2016
Ian, como la suya o como su imagen. I believe that if you use the form la suya, you don't need the noun imagen - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
as yours = como la suya but as your picture = como su imagen. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
Feliz got it right. "Su imagen" or "la suya" It's also technically correct to use "la imagen suya" but note the word order. - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016
Gracias Dani. xx - ian-hill, Aug 11, 2016

Algunas manzanas son más peligrosas que otras y pueden causar que alguien entre en un trance en el que la persona no tenga el poder de responder del mundo externo..

Some apples are more dangerous than others and can cause someone to enter into a trance in which they don't have the ability to respond to the outside world.

Lol, and sometimes walk off ledges like lemmings, chasing none existing creatures. - Nickelbackfan1, Aug 10, 2016
Great minds, bosque. My wifi was down, so I just got here to find you've posted my idea. - AnnRon, Aug 10, 2016

No Snow White, it's an Apple knock off with a firmware trojan.

No Blanca Nieves, es un Apple pirata con un firmware troyano.

The witch: "You can choose whichever (any) picture of an apple you want on the cards my dear, and if you 'play your cards right', you'll be in for a lovely surprise! " (She gives an evil laugh) hahahahaha

La bruja: " ¡Puedes elegir cualquier imagen de una manzana que quieras, querida, y si 'juegas bien sus cartas' vas a recibir una sorpresa bonita!" (Da una risa malvada) jajajajaja

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

Editor's note: Unknown to Snow White, who is very sweet but naive, the evil witch (sorceress) has placed an evil spell on the card that she will pick so that when she touches the apple picture she will inhale (breath in) a deadly poison which will kill her painfully in minutes!

I'm not sure that "play your cards right" means anything in Spanish. I would use "con suerte." - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016
Ooops! I'm wrong I looked it up. Heres the address. http://www.linguee.es/ingles-espanol/traduccion/play+your+cards+right.html - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016
"Con suerte" still sounds better to me. :) - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016

Rac, " es UNA manzana etc...I'm sure you simply forgot ;) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
Also you have not translated the word más Your English version says beautiful whereas you r Spanish version says more beautiful ;) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
bonita can be used to mean beautiful I'm sure you can lose the word más; ) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
Yes, gracias, Feliz. :) - rac1, Aug 10, 2016
De nada, Rac :) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016

Me parece que las brujas también deben modernizarse, pero no tengo la menor idea de que este tipo de manzana¿ cómo va a acabar con Blanca Nieves?

It seems to me that witches must also be modernized, but I have no idea that this type of Apple how will finish off Snow White?

"how will I " - ray76, Aug 10, 2016
" but I have no idea how this type of apple will finish off Snow white!" " or "but how will this type of apple finish off Snow White?" these are my suggestions for a more natural way of expressing this idea, Porcu :) I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Aug 11, 2016

Very good caption, Ann lol:) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
I am not sure if you need the personal a here since Siri is not a real person but only a cyber personal assistant (android) I would be interested to know what the native Spanish speakers think / say:) - FELIZ77, Aug 10, 2016
Well, Siri can be quite sassy. I'm pretty sure she would advocate for the personal a. ;- ) - AnnRon, Aug 10, 2016
Even if is's a fictional person, she gets the "a" - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016
Also you need the "redundant le" i.e., "preguntarle" - Daniela2041, Aug 11, 2016
Thanks, Daniela. - AnnRon, Aug 11, 2016

(La bruja) ¡Lo que esta tontita no sabe es que le he puesto un programa hipnótico a este celular y después de varios minutos va a estar completamente hipnotizada y dormirá durante cien años.

(The witch) What this stupid girl doesn't know is that I have put a hypnotic program on this cell phone, and after several minutes she's going to be completely hypnotized and will sleep for one hundred years.
