Answer 1

Es un poco extraño que el cazador y las cazas están encerradas detrás de misma valla.

It's a bit strange that the hunter and the game are locked behind the same fence.

estén...subjuntive - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

Why ? - porcupine7, Apr 23, 2017

This is an opinion about a fact. Therefore the verb after que is subj - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

Porcu see: http://www.spanishdict.com/guide/impersonal-expressions-with-the-subjunctive - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

Good point, Porcu. I could've easily put Elmer or any character in front of the fence. The reason I decided not to was that I couldn't find a figure that showed the backside which I would've preferred.:) - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

...backside meaning that if the character were in front of the fence the character would've been looking at the exhibit. - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Gracias Ken - porcupine7, Apr 24, 2017

Never mind Sassette, so it is interesting - porcupine7, Apr 24, 2017

Answer 2

Tengo un trabajo nuevo como un guarda en este refugio animal. Esté muy, muy tranquilo.

I have a new job as a guard in this animal sanctuawy. Be vewy, vewy quiet.

(For English learners: The words "sanctuary" and "very" are deliberately misspelled to conform to Elmer Fudd's typical mispronunciation.)

Estwé muwy muwy tranqwuillo :) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

:) - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Cute, Ken. :-) - AnnRon, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 3

¡Rápido, Pato Lucas, se agacha agacheseantes agáchate antes de que Elmer te vea!

Quick, Daffy Duck, duck before Elmer sees you!

Thanks for the very helpful correction, ken!

Vote from me. Why Lucas? - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

@ kenhuizenga Thanks for vote :) I guess Pato Lucas is Daffy Duck in Spanish. Check this out: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pato_Lucas - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

agachate o agachese for imperitive form always attach pronouns - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

Sassy: you need to use the one with te so it matched the te later on in your sentence :) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

agáchate (with an accent) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

@ken. Thanks again! Lost focus of the details. I like te better anyway because I feel like I know the duck personally. lol - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 4

Bugs Bunny is doing a dare!: "Look, I've already crossed the line, now, what ya gonna do about it? Na na na na na! You can't do nuthin', mister...you're just a cardboard cut-out!"

(What are you going to do to stop me?! You can't do anything)

The guard speaks "You reckon (think) so? Hahaha! Try me! Take one more step and you'll be rabbit pie! Go on, (Go ahead!) make m un desafió (o reto): "¡Mira, ya he atravesado la frontera! Bueno, ¿qué me vas a hacer para impedir*? ¡Na na na na na! ¡No puedes hacer nada, hombre, sólo eres una figura de cartón

o detener*

Él guardia de segurida habla "¿Crees que sí? Jajaja ¡Ponme a la prueba! ¡Si haces sólo un paso más...vas a acabar como pastel de conejo! ¡Anda, alégrame el día!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

rabbit pie...I like that...I mean as an idea. I would be too scared to try it. lol - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

I can remember when my daughter told her husband, I got you a rabbit. He thought he was getting a pet, She proceeded to butcher it and cook it for dinner. I have to admit I have never eaten rabbit. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 5

¿Hay tres caricaturas o cuatro? ¡Creí que vea un gato!

Are there three characters or four? I tawt I taw a poody tat!
(in non-cartoon English: I thought I saw a pussy cat.)

I'm still looking. lol - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 6

En Toontown (Dibullywood, Bujolandia), han encerrado los de Looney Tunes (Canciones lunáticas) en el loquero.

In Toontown, they have locked up those from Looney Tunes in the loony bin.

Another great entry...once again you nailed it (which is also a pattern when it involves a project of mine). - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

¡Una leyenda muy divertida, Bosque! jajajajaja ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 7

Bugs Bunny: ¿Qué tal, médico?

Bugs Bunny: What's up doc?

Elmer Fudd: ¡Se dice señor médico en español!

Elmer Fudd: You should say "Mister Doc" in Spanish! (Or one says)

Bugs Bunny: Sea lo que sea. ¿Te apetece el pato de comer?

Bugs Bunny: Whatever! You feel like duck for lunch?

My initial thought as well... - Esteban_317, Apr 23, 2017

Very good. You expanded your entry. :) - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Yes...I just put what's up doc as a first thought. When I'm doing a dialog I often just get it started and then think about what else to say. :) - DilKen, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 8

¿Es temporada de caza para pato o conejo?

Is it hunting season for duck or wabbit?

lol - Sassette, Apr 23, 2017

Answer 9

Hey Friends ! Don't you know we are just playing. It's just for fun but we are happy to fool you all. ha ha ha

Oye amigos ! No sabes que somos jugando. Es solo para devertimiento pero somos felices para engañar vosotros todo... ja ja ja

Very good, Nepal you need sólo in this part : ¿No sabes que sólo ESTAMOS jugando? :) - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2017

Please remember that the verb 'estar' is used to form the present progressive tense in Spanish. It is used for a state or condition, whereas ser is used for a person's characteristics! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2017

Present progressive: present indicative tense of estar (conjugated to correct person) + gerund of required verb eg Esto - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2017

Estoy leyendo = I am reading, Estamos hablando = We are speaking/talking. - FELIZ77, Apr 24, 2017

Muchas gracias mi gran amigo Feliz. I have a big doubt and can't understand correctly about Ser and Estar. - nepal15, Apr 25, 2017

Answer 11

Son ellos nuevos chicos en el barrio ?

No les conozco .

Are these new kids in the neighborhood ?

I do not know them.

In fact I really do not knowthem , who are they ? - ray76, Apr 24, 2017

These are cartoon characters from Looney Tunes, an animated series from Warner Bros. from 1930-1969. Bugs Bunny is probably the most famous. Also included is Elmer Fudd who likes to hunt Bugs Bunny & I threw in Daffy Duck. :) - Sassette, Apr 24, 2017

Thank for showing up, Ray...better late than never! lol I always admire your passion for learning. - Sassette, Apr 24, 2017

Thank you for enlightening me sassy , I am in a different tome zone a day ahead of you guys that is why I am always late I am usually asleep when these come out. - ray76, Apr 24, 2017

I wish the earth were flat and that we all lived in the same time zone. :) - Sassette, Apr 24, 2017
