How about a little practice

How to play:

Click on newest

.

Name an animal - (in Spanish and English)

(if you can, name an animal that begins with the same letter as the last post or if you can't think of any more animals that start with that letter you can name an animal starting with the next letter in alphabetical order

.

Provide the sound that it makes (in Spanish and English)

.

Add a picture if you like

I'll start us off:

La abeja (bee)

Zumba (buzz)

(The next player should add another animal beginning with the letter 'a' until the the 'a's run out and then we can move on to 'b' etc

sure thing Lovely, is that a requirement somewhere? - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 30, 2011

No Kiwi, but just to clarify the rule and he game type, also this would be posted in the A-Z games list. - 00b6f46c, Nov 30, 2011

ok no worries, hecho :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 30, 2011

Ah onomatopeya! I thought first you just wanted the names of the sounds - rabbitwho, Nov 30, 2011

Answer 1

El pavo real: grita (es un sonido terrible, especialmente de un animal tan hermoso)

The peacock: shrieks, screeches (I'm not sure if there is an actual name for it)

What a beautiful picture :) I think you can say el pavo real vocea :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 19, 2011

and perhaps - el pavo real da las alaridos - (shrieks) ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 19, 2011

The internet told that they "grita." I was going to try to translated 'blood curdling-ly scream' or something but I found an actual name for it in Spanish ;) - broca23, Dec 19, 2011

sure grita works - it means 'shout' or 'scream' - vocea means to shout or cry out and dar las alaridos means to screech ;) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 19, 2011

blood curdling screams would be - Gritos espeluznantes or even gritos horripilantes (although that is more along the lines of scary) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 19, 2011

Thanks for the explanation Kiwi_Girl :) I figured the literal translation of 'grita' probably wasn't the best in this case. - broca23, Dec 20, 2011

Answer 2

el pájaro carpintero (woodpecker) - golpea (hammers)

good, well done - or picotea = pecks :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 20, 2011

or se rié (laughs) :) you know that jejejejeje noise they make lol - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 20, 2011

Thanks Kiwi. I resisted the temptation to put Woody up there (se rié) so I could find a word related to carpintero. Fun game! - ajaks, Dec 20, 2011

Answer 3

Quisquilla (shrimp; prawn) - chasquido (snap)

A bear; growls

Are you sure it's not "bosteza"? :D - ajaks, Dec 20, 2011

Answer 5

El jabalí - Wild Boar

Gruñe - grunts

Answer 6

El León (Lion) Roar ( Bramar.)

bramar is roar but I think it's roar as in bellow - rugir is often used for lions - el león ruge :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 1, 2011

Answer 10

chirp---chirp

i think that chirp is piada I'll try to get some confirmation for you. You can also say pío if you're imitating a bird noise :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 30, 2011

it seems that 'pía' or 'pían' is the way to go to describe bird noises also the verbs trinar or graznar - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 30, 2011

Here's on example with paida though: El pajarillo piaba lastimosamente, porque no encontraba a su madre. - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 30, 2011
