A-Z Game - Commands

Question

I don't think this has been done before so it's the usual A-Z in alphabetical order but this time for commands

And if anyone needs a little help in making commands in Spanish here's a link with instructions How to make Commands in Spanish

I'll start us off with:

¡Apaga! (Turn off)

¡Apaga la luz!

What a great game and opportunity to practice commands! - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

Answer 1

Y

¡Yapa! = give a little more, add a tip

from the verb: yapar

(I couldn't find a verb beginning with the letter "X"!)

Answer 2

¡No Fumar! = No Smoking

Answer 3

Levantate!= get up!

Answer 4

¡Imagínate! Just imagine!

Answer 5

¡Escúchame! Listen to me.

Answer 6

N

negar = to deny

¡Niega! (tú form) = Deny!

¡No niegues! (tú form) = Don't deny!

¡Niegue! (Ud. form) = Deny!

¡No niegue! (Ud. form) = Don't deny!

¡Nieguen! (Uds. form) = Deny!

¡No nieguen! (Uds. form) = Don't deny!

(I hope that you don't mind my listing most of the imperative/command options. It really helps me to go through them.)

Answer 7

¡Imagínese eso!

Imagine that!

Answer 8

¡Fíjate! -- take a look at this!

Answer 9

G

¡No grítate! ... Don't yell! (No yelling!)

Answer 11

Fontaneria - plumb it in

That can't be right !

it isn't;) - 00494d19, Jul 5, 2010

Then what is the right way ? - fontanero, Jul 6, 2010

Imperativo tú fondea él fondee nosotros fondeemos vosotros fondead ellos fondeen :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 10, 2010

but must add a caution that that is the verb to plumb but I'm not sure if it's the one that a plumber would use to plumb something in or if it only means to plumb the depths of something? Native speakers please?? - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 12

¡Záfate de ese pesado!

Get away from that bore!

Thanks, but don't get it? Other pages aren't in A.O. - Sheily, Jul 5, 2010

Yes I'm not sure what's happened there lol, I think things went wrong with 'n' a couple back - it looks like we should be on an 'o' now :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 5, 2010

The answer just before yours was for the verb "esquiar", a verb/command beginning with the letter "E''. Your answer should have begun with the letter "F", the next letter in the English alphabet. - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

But as Shelly noticed if you go a couple back there's an 'm' lol - I think we've lost the plot a little lol - anyway I'll put an 'o' and see what happens jeje - Shelley do you have a 'p' command? :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 5, 2010

Oh, I see now! We went astray after the letter "M"! - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

sorry Sheily :) - maybe it is time for glasses lol - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 13

¡únete al club! Join the club!

I may be wrong about this, but I think the accent should be on the first "e" and not on the "u". - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

If the accent were supposed to be on that letter then it would be accent-less as it normally falls on the penultimate syllable anyway without the use of accent marks. - 003487d6, Jul 5, 2010

Quite right Dandi - good to know that expression also gets used in Spanish - so it is used to mean the same as we do in English - 'same here'? - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 14

Platícame lo que pasó

Tell me what happened

( y por cierto, mi nombre es Sheily, no Shelley, gracias!)

Answer 15

¡Odia! Hate

¡Odia lo que es malo! --- Hate what is bad!
