Game: which word does not fit in?

Question

Hello all,

I would like to propose a game to increase your Spanish vocabulary,

Instructions,

1. Write 5 words, among these words you place a word which does not fit in with the others.
2. The next person has to guess the odd one out and then write 5 new words.

Here is my example:

First player : Agua, leche, pan, café, cerveza

Next player : "pan" porque no es una bebida (because it's not a drink).
león, perro, pez, elefante, gato

Answer : ???

Have a go!

Lapiz

tecla, teclado, arroba, escape, inicio

Sí tienes razón amiga, pero es demasiado facil para ti ;-P :) :-) - FELIZ77, Jan 18, 2011

Lápiz has to be capitalized. - Dakie, Jan 18, 2011

:) - Dakie, Jan 18, 2011

Es teclado, ¿verdad? Porque los otros son solos teclas...¿no es así? - webdunce, Jan 18, 2011

Me confudía unos minutos. - webdunce, Jan 18, 2011

Answer 3

Ok, I think I'll try Heidi's ( or actually Jen's)

elefante...the only one without fur.

uña, ojo, boca, iris, pestaña

Answer 4

Colina. The rest of the words are things that can hold water.

lámpara, papel, lapiz, libro, ventana.

correct - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

yay! can you figure out mine? - amykay, Jan 19, 2011

Still pondering. - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

The only thing I have come up with so far is that papel is often treated as uncountable, and the others are not, however I suspect that is not the answer. - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

you're right, papel is not the answer. Hint: think of where all of these obects sit... - amykay, Jan 19, 2011

Thanks for the hint, I hope I'm right. :o) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Answer 5

árbol! The others are things in a house.

la camisa, el coche, los pantalones, el zapato, el sombrero

Answer 6

árbol

ok, I am taking one Jenny just passed on to me....remember she is very clever...so it is nothing obvious

León, tigre, girafa, mono, elefante

Confuso:) - Courtenaymomma, Jan 18, 2011

Answer 7

enfermera, the other words have to do with politics, government.

Palabras nuevas:

pared, alfombra, silla, árbol, suelo

:) - miguel79, Jan 18, 2011

Answer 8

Hi friend

pez: unlike others, it is sea animal.

Q:

piloto, voler, carro (coche),aeropuerto, pasaje.

answer: ????

Thanks for your answer, I don't know what do you mean by "voler", what do you want to say?maybe volar? - miguel79, Jan 18, 2011

Answer 9

León, tigre, girafa, mono, elefante

I think mono is the odd one out, it only has 2 legs..?

It could be elefante though, this is the only one that doesn't wear a fur coat!

My 5!

mariposa, araña, pulga, avispa, libélula

jeje, goot try sally, but no, ;) difficult eh? jeje - 00494d19, Jan 20, 2011

wow libélula, didn't know that, thx - margaretbl, Jan 20, 2011

I love that word too Margaret, found it in the book I'm reading about the Andes. :D - galsally, Jan 20, 2011

Hi galsally, is something to do with the verb to fly? :o)) my guess it's pulga - miguel79, Jan 20, 2011

Answer 10

words:

mariposa, araña, pulga, avispa, libélula

I think it's araña, it's the only one with 8 legs, the rest have 6.

new words:

árbol, papel, cebolla, piel, camisa

Let me know if you need a hint... - amykay, Jan 20, 2011

That, or you could say it's the only one that isn't an insect. Hi Amy! - galsally, Jan 20, 2011

Hi Sally! - amykay, Jan 20, 2011

Answer 11

el tobillo not an organ

jugo leche agua café cerveza

correct. - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

I know it's not the correct answer, but "leche" is the only one on that list I won't drink. - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

Correct answer. Your choice it's very similar to the one that I started :o)) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

jugo=zumo - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Answer 12

Hi Amykay,

My guess is ventana, as it is the only objet that you can not place on a table.

calle, carretera, avenida, acera, camino

Eres correcto! - amykay, Jan 19, 2011

Thank you very much amykay! instead of eres correcto, it sounds more natural just saying correcto, or you could also say has acertado or llevas razón. :o)) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Oh, gracias Miguel! - amykay, Jan 19, 2011

Answer 13

From Stadt

La piedra is the only that is not a living being

La piedra es el único que no es un ser vivo

New words:

Aluminio, Cal, Hierro, Cobre, Plata

I agree. Good choice cogumela :o) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

It was the answer- sometimes people forget that sponges are animals. - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

I guessed thanks to Bob Esponja :o))) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Answer 14

lámpara, papel, lapiz, libro, ventana.

Ventana is the only one not found on a desk.

Edited for the next one:

calle, carretera, avenida, acera, camino

Acera is the only one not intended for a car.

Mine:

La ardilla, la esponja, el arbusto, la piedra, la foca

Whoops, posted at the same time - Stadt, Jan 19, 2011

Ja, ja :) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Awesome Stadt - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011

Answer 15

I didn't mean to stump the game. The words are in alphabetical order except hermosa.

Let's move on with Stadt's words.

La jarra, la colina, la bañera, el estanque, el riachuelo

Clever! However, that was rather difficult. :-) - Leanahtan, Jan 19, 2011

Good choice :0) - miguel79, Jan 19, 2011
