Previous Picture of the day: The big jump.

and here is today's Picture of the day:

Stepan was abandoned at birth, and raised by a Russian couple. The grizzly bear grew up as a vegetarian so he isn’t inclined to attack people. - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 29, 2017

As far as I know the average bear , not the grizly, is able to live on fruits and vegetables and not attacks people, only in case of danger. - porcupine7, Apr 29, 2017

Hola Nick , ¿Que tal ? - ray76, Apr 29, 2017

Hola amiga, have another vote. :) - rac1, Apr 29, 2017

Happy Saturday everyone. Everything is alright Ray. Thanks amiga. - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 29, 2017

Bear attacks on humans are rare, but lone male black bears are responsible for most of the attacks that do occur. - AnnRon, Apr 29, 2017

Do you hike with bear bells, AnnRon? I did when I was in your neighborhood. - jtaniel, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 1

"Your parents might disagree, but to me, everything about this is just right," said Goldilocks.

"Tus padres podrían estar en desacuerdo, pero para mí, todo esto es de forma perfecta," dijo Ricitos de Oro.

Have a vote mate - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 2

Discúlpenme por haber dormido en las camas de ustedes. Quizás este picnic los compensará por mis acciones poco educadas.

Pardon me for having slept in all your beds. Perhaps this picnic will make up for my impolite actions.

I am imagining the other two bears just outside the range of the picture. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 29, 2017

Nice bosque, have a vote. Nice use of indicative future instead of subjunctive after quizás to indicate a higher likelihood - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 3

¿ Teddy, por qué siempre tengo que traer la comida ?

Teddy ,why do I always have to bring the food ?

Good one Ray, have a vote. - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 4

Where's the beef?

¿Dónde está la carne?

Oso...es lo que es para cenar. :) - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

A vote from me for that one, Ken. - jtaniel, Apr 29, 2017

People never ask that when they go to Wendy's :) (Makes sense if you know the advertising history of the chain.) - Sassette, Apr 29, 2017

Thanks everyone. :) - rac1, Apr 30, 2017

Answer 5

Niña: ¿Quisieras una garra de oso?

Girl: Would you like a bear claw?

Oso: No gracias, ya tengo bastantes. (El oso tiene sus propias garras)

Bear: No thanks, I already have enough. (The bear has his own claws)

según la enciclopedia libre
Un bear claw (‘garra de oso’) es un dulce de desayuno popular principalmente en los Estados Unidos. Es un pastel con levadura aromatizado con almendra cuyas piezas son semicírculos grandes e irregulares con cortes en los bordes que recuerdan a la forma de la garra de un oso. Suele contener pasta de almendra o pasas, o también mantequilla y pacana y dátiles.

Los bear claws se venden a menudo en tiendas de dónuts con un relleno parecido al de las tartas de manzana, pero se considera más un bollo que un dónut.

Thanks for info, kenhuizenga! If I recall, Jraider (a.k.a., Craaaazy Cat, Gato Loco) had a nice photo of a bear claw in a recent word of the day entry :) - Sassette, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 6

Niña: Este oso es muy parecido a mi Teddy , sólo un poco más grande.

Girl: This bear is very similar to my Teddy, just a little bigger.

Answer 7

Cuando niños se confuden que es un oso real y que es un osito de peluche los resultados pueden ser disastrosos. La cabeza de la niña será mordida por el oso.

When children get confused what is a real live bear and what is a teddy bear the results can be disasterous. The girl's head will be bitten off by the bear.

Oh, I didn't read the information in Nickelback's comment section. I didn't realize that some bears are not a threat to humans. - Sassette, Apr 29, 2017

I sure would like to hug a real live non-threatening bear.♥ - Sassette, Apr 29, 2017

Not all bears are cute and cuddly though. I would love to meet this bear. - Nickelbackfan1, Apr 30, 2017

You're my animal expert, Nickelbackfan. :) - Sassette, Apr 30, 2017

Answer 8

Finalmente conseguí mi cesta de picnic. Te dije que era más inteligente que el oso promedio.

I finally got my picnic basket. I told you that I was smarter than the average bear.

Answer 9

Si sales hoy en el bosque,
Será mejor que no vayas solo.
Es precioso en el bosque hoy
Pero más seguro para quedarse en casa.

? Hoy es el día en que los osos de peluche tienen su picnic! ?

If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.

? Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic! ?

For some reason, only the first line of my draft is posting. - AnnRon, Apr 29, 2017

Fixed it! Apparently there was something wrong with the html music notes I used the first time. - AnnRon, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 10

Girl: Hey, bear, this is nice! I have my food, but what are you going to eat?

Bear: Grunt...

Girl: What's that, big teddy? Me? Why?

Bear: Grunt growl gruntly growl!

Girl: I do not taste good!

Bear: Sigh...

Girl: Good! Now go, and never come back!

Niña: ¡Oye, oso, es bien! Tengo mi comida, ¿Pero que vas a comer tú?

Oso: Gruñido...

Niña: ¿Qué es eso? ¿Yo? ¿Por qué?

Oso: ¡Gruñido gruñido gruñido gruñido!

Niña: ¡No tengo un buen sabor!

Oso: Suspiro...

Niña: ¡Bien! ¡Ahora, vete y nunca vuelves!

I would say: No tengo un buen sabor. Obviously, it isn't a very common phrase :) - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

I think it is safer than using No tengo un buen gusto, which could also mean I don't have good taste (I'm not sophisticated) - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

In your last phrase you use IR for the imperative form of go. Much more common would be vete = scram, the informal imperative of irse = to leave - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

vas a comer....with IR + a + another verb, the second verb always goes in the infinitive - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

Thanks! - CarterTF, Apr 29, 2017

Not irse...say vete, the conjugated form for tú :) You should only use the infinitive form of a command when used impersonally (to everyone) e.g. No fumar. (smoking is not allowed by anyone) - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

You still need to change comes to comer :) - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017

Deserving of a badge. Enjoy, Carter. :) - Sassette, Apr 29, 2017

Gracias! - CarterTF, Apr 29, 2017

Answer 11

The bear speaks with a deep voice: "Hey, little girl...where's the honey? A picnic without honey is not a proper picnic!"

El oso habla con una voz profunda: "¡Oiga, nena! ¿Dónde está la miel? ¡Un picnic sin miel no es un verdadero picnic!" (o no es un picnic real)

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

:) - Sassette, Apr 30, 2017

Thank you for your vote, Sassette :) - FELIZ77, Apr 30, 2017

Answer 12

The girl and the bear are having a picnic lunch together. La niña y el oso está tomando una comida en el campo de juntos.

NKM: Your Spanish is a good literal translation of the English, but in Spanish they don't use tener with eating. They would use tomar. está tomando. Similar to the English: I take my coffee black. - DilKen, Apr 29, 2017
