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!

Answer 1

¡No esquíes! = No skiing

Answer 2

¡Vienes aqui! - Come here!

Conjugation?

Venga aqui, courtesy of Pajaro

Fontanero, "vienes" is not correct. Your options are: (tú, affirmative) "ven" or (Ud., affirmative) "venga". Venir is one of the 8 irregular tú affirmative commands. - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

Didn't seem right, but had nothing better. - fontanero, Jul 5, 2010

The book "501 Verbs" is a great reference for this type of game! - Pajaro44, Jul 5, 2010

So thats how you do it ! - fontanero, Jul 5, 2010

Or, "ven aca" - Sheily, Jul 5, 2010

Answer 3

J

¡No lo justifiques! (tú form) = Don't justify it!

(from the verb justificar = to justify)

Answer 4

M

¡No manipules! (tú form) = Don't manipulate!

(from the verb: manipular = to manipulate)

Answer 5

¡Limpie! = Clean

Answer 6

F

¡No falsifiques! = Don't falsify or forge!

(from the verb falsificar = to falsify, to forge)

These negative tú commands are the hardest ones for me to remember!

Answer 7

¡Retreat! same in both languages.

Corremos fuera! - Run away!

Not sure about the conjugation.

Answer 8

W I can't think of a Spanish command beginning with W, so....

Wash me - Lávame.

As written on the back of my van ( in english only! )

Feel free to ignore this if you have a W.

Answer 9

¡Salga! = Leave!

Answer 10

!Solicito! - sue me!

Answer 11

Answer 12

¡Termina! (tú form) = Finish!

¡Termina tu tarea! Finish your homework.

¡No termines! (tú form) = Don't finish!

¡Termine! (Ud. form) = Finish!

¡No termine! (Ud. form) = Don't finish!

Answer 13

¡Termina! (tú form) = Finish!

¡Termina tu tarea! Finish your homework.

¡No termines! (tú form) = Don't finish!

¡Termine! (Ud. form) = Finish!

¡No termine! (Ud. form) = Don't finish!

Answer 14

S

¡Salta! (tú form) = Jump/leap/hop/spring!

¡No saltes! (tú form) = Don't jump/leap/hop/spring!

¡Salte! (Ud. form) = Jump/leap/hop/spring!

¡No salte! (Ud. form) = Don't Jump/leap/hop/spring!

(I know that this is too much information; but, it helps me to understand the tú and Ud. forms of the commands, both affirmative and negative!)

Answer 15

R

¡Retira! (tú form) = Withdraw/retire!

¡No retires! (tú form) = Don't withdraw/retire!

¡Retire! (Ud. form) = Withdraw/retire!

¡No retire! (Ud. form) = Don't withdraw/retire!

(The extra commands help me to remember the tú and Ud. forms of the commands, both affirmative and negative!)
