Answer 1

Mi camuflaje no está trabajando.

Mi camouflage isn't working.

lol Me pregunto, ¿por qué? / I wonder, why? - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Kristin, I think it would be bette to say: Mi camuflaje no funciona bien I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

or even possibly: Mi camuflaje no sirve por nada - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

I agree with Feliz and think either of his two options would be OK - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

Thanks, Ken:) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Answer 2

Ya no necesito pelo.

I don't need fur anymore.

lol - Sassette, Apr 21, 2017

I think you mean "Ya no necesito pelo." - jtaniel, Apr 21, 2017

Thanks for the correction! - k_nelson, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 3

¿Por qué me preocupo sobre calientamiento global?
¡Me gustan mucho las flores!
Tal vez me convierta en vegetariano.

Why should I worry about global warming?
I love flowers!
Maybe I'll become a vegetarian.

Rofl@perhaps I'!l become a vegetarian! Hahaha ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Great post, Ken :) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Thanks Feliz. Glad you got a chuckle :) - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

Answer 4

Las flores de primavera están a los osos polar como la nébeda está a los gatos.

Spring flowers are to polar bears as catnip is to cats.

Answer 5

El oso polar: " ¿Cómo exactamente esperan que sobrevivamos, los osos polar en este ambiente poco natural! Por cierto, ¿alguien me podría dar un helado enorme (o gigante), por favor?"

The polar bear: " How exactly are we polar bears supposed to survive (ie: How do they expect us polar bears to survive) in this unnatural environment? By the way, could somebody give me a huge ice-cream, please?"

Editor's note: I found the first sentence very difficult to translate! I have posted my best attempt! Any help from native speakers or proficient students would be gratefully accepted...any ideas, Rodneye, Ken or Bosque ???

At first I tried using the construction ¿Cómo exactamente se supone que sobrevivimos etc...construction but was not sufficiently convinced.

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Feliz: Looks pretty good to me. Take out the (ellos)....you definitely don't want ellos...it is an impersonal statement and there (ellos) should not get anywhere near this sentence to keep it impersonal. polares I think. - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

Also, I think you right to use the indicative of sobrevivamos with esperan to give it the expect meaning rather than hope. - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda, Ken :) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Estoy completamente de acuerdo sobre el prenombte personal ellas, pero prefiero esperar más tiempo para recibir corrección de un nativo hispanohablante acerca del uso de indicativo en lugar de subjunctivo. :) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Feliz: that's fine. Meanwhile: https://www.thoughtco.com/using-the-verb-esperar-3079736 - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

Answer 6

Me parece que a el oso polar también le gustan las flores bellas. Se dice que a quien las flores le gustan no puede ser malo , por consiguiente el oso polar es bueno.

It seems to me that the polar bear also likes beautiful flowers. It is said that whoever likes flowers cannot be bad, consequently the polar bear is good.

Porcu, small typo: que 'a' el oso polar :) - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Answer 7

El oso polar encantan los flores. The polar bear loves the flowers.

Answer 8

No estoy en mi ambiente normal, pero me gusta mucho.

I'm not in my normal environment, but I like it very much.

Answer 9

The polar bear frolics on a willowherb field. El oso polar retoza en un campo de adelfa.

Answer 10

Cuánto más corta es la temporada de cazar focas (debido a la perdida de hielo marino), más importante es adaptarse aprendiendo a comer flores.

The shorter the seal hunting season is (due to the loss of sea ice), the more important it is to adapt oneself by learning to eat flowers.

lol I think that if Polar bears could talk, they would tell us that flowers would be a poor substitute for seals (seal meat) or fish - FELIZ77, Apr 21, 2017

Bosque. I see we had the same idea. I always look at the picture and then write my entry without reading the other posts. But I figured some of us would have the same idea :) - DilKen, Apr 21, 2017

I think the takes on it are expressed differently. I wanted to practice a "cuánto más" sentence. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 21, 2017

Answer 11

Oso: No sé lo que son estas cosas magentas. No huelen a pescado, pero huelen muy buenas. ¡Me las gustan!

Bear: I don't know what these magenta things are. They don't smell like fish, but they smell really good. I like them!
