Hola amigos! Otro juego!

Ok people, I'm attempting to make today's "Mystery Object" game much harder!

Esta foto muestra una "parte" de un objeto misterioso de mi vida real. ¿El desafío? - Adivina cuál es el objeto y el funciona del objeto.

(This photo shows a "part" of a mystery object from my life. The challenge? Guess what the object is, and the function of my mystery object. If you can, post in Spanish and English, and, if clues are needed I will post them "along the way" so keep your eyes "peeled". And a rule for my game friends - you can post multiple times of course but please - one guess per post! That gives everyone "present" a chance to have a "stab at it" and makes it easier for me to follow the thread and the answers. Thanks. This thread is being moderated by Heidita.

Ahh! Correcta! Es una "dispensadora de cinta de mano", or a "tape gun" as we call it. Bien hecho! - amykay, Nov 12, 2011
"handheld tape gun" I should have said. - amykay, Nov 12, 2011
¡Ay buen trabajo albert! - nonombre, Nov 12, 2011

Es la parte de una batadora eléctrica que es más cerca de los batidoras metálicas.

It's the part of the electric mixer that is the closest to the metal beaters.

¿es una parte de baño? ¿En la depósito cisterna ?

Is it part of the toilet? In the tank?

Not sure if depósito is right. cisterna maybe? - teasip, Nov 11, 2011
Heidi will comment on the Spanish, but I'm sorry, your answer is incorrect. You can guess again though! - amykay, Nov 11, 2011
cisterna es la palabra:) - 00494d19, Nov 11, 2011
I think inodoro is the word for the actuall toilet. - teasip, Nov 11, 2011
Wáter (o WC) & retrete are also acceptable, the former no doubt borrowed from the English "water closet" or WC... I suppose "toilet bowl" could also be rendered as "taza de retrete" for our purists! :) - cristalino, Nov 12, 2011

It could be a piece of painting easel . It seems a retaining flange to hold a paper or mural ¿...?

Podría ser parte de un caballete de pinturas. La pestaña de la derecha podría servir para sujetar papeles o murales....

Hola de nuevo amykay y buen trabajo con tu juego smile ¡Y si, es tan difíil!


Parece que tu objeto misterioso tiene un tipo de bidón que contiene líquido. ¿Y por eso quizás tu objeto sea un tipo de cortadora de césped y especificamente una cortadora de césped como en esta foto?


It seems that your object has a type of drum containing liquid. And so perhaps your object is a type of lawnmower, specifically a lawnmower like the one in this photo?

I don't know Annie, judging by the screw on the top, the blue disc is less than an inch iin diameter making for an awfully small drum. - Yeser007, Nov 11, 2011
Si Yesero, es una "conjetura" por mi parte :( - nonombre, Nov 11, 2011
hmmm...lo siento Annie, pero tu respuesta es incorrecta... - amykay, Nov 11, 2011
we call it a "riding lawnmower", not much of a difference! - amykay, Nov 11, 2011
"difícil"...¡Comprendo que escribimos rápido a veces! ;-) - cristalino, Nov 12, 2011

Hola amy, todo corregido.

¿Por qué no escribes más en español?

This way you can practise more and you get something out of this good job you are doingwink

Maybe somebody can correct the English part if you see a mistake in any post, like in Alberto...he usually says "its" instead of it's..

You often say : es incorrecta...unless you mention the word, palabra, the usual would be to say "es incorrectO" as you are referring to the guess, not the word itself.

Gracias por la explicación. :) - EL_MAG0, Nov 13, 2011
Gracias Heidi...usualmente digo "tu respuesta es incorrectA", so it's referring to the "respuesta", is that right? - amykay, Nov 13, 2011
