how do you say, "she is holding flowers"?

Question

how do you say, "she is holding flowers"?.

Also, how would you say, they are standing (if they they are female)?

Answer 1

(Ella) está sosteniendo las flores, o (Ella) sostiene las flores.

Is this the most common way of saying this? I would prefer to say:

(Ella) está sujetando flores.

Están parando, o están a pie.

To me, "están parando" means "they are stopping". "Se están parando" means "they are (in the process of) standing. "Están paradas" means "they (all females) are (currently) standing."

Also, I think "están de pie" means "they are standing" and "a pie" means "on foot", as in "they are walking".

I agree with all of your comments except "Sujetar." This is almost like supporting something that requires great strength, which I doubt holding flowers does - 005faa61, Jul 7, 2011

It is more common to say aggarar for hold. - eltennis97, Jul 7, 2011

"Agarrar" is to take hold of or to grab - 005faa61, Jul 7, 2011

Interesting. I use sujetar for holding anything. "Sujétame esto, por favor" = "Hold this for me, please" - gintar77, Jul 7, 2011

Also "aguantar". - gintar77, Jul 7, 2011
