"¡Pon la roca...!" Short translation help, please!

Question

I was playing with local kids today and wanted to say "Put the rock down," or "Put the rock on the ground," but only knew how to say the first half. I've used the translator but what it said seemed iffy.

¡Pon la roca (o la piedra) abajo! o ¡Pon la roca en la tierra!

Would these be correct ways of conveying the message?

¡Gracias!

Answer 1

¡Deja la piedra! To me 'roca' is more something like a rock face .....

When I hear "roca" I think of a "Margarita con sal en la rocas". - Yeser007, Mar 22, 2011

Answer 2

Roca generally means a rock so large that it can only be lifted by Superman or a machine.

Answer 3

As a command to someone "pon la piedra en el suelo" put it on the ground.

Or "baja la piedra al suelo".lower it to the ground.

Voice tone is everything here.

Answer 4

I would say: ¡Ponte dejar la roca!

"Ponte dejar ...", doesn't work. - samdie, Mar 23, 2011

Answer 5
