Are these flashcards correct?

Question

I have a question for the administrators about a particular set of flashcards. It is verbs - movements of the body by yogamamaof2. I am wondering about the correctness of these cards:

a arrodillarse - to kneel

a parpadear - to blink

a la respiración - to breath

a encogerse de hombros - to shrug

Could you check these and the others? Thank you

Answer 1

That was a lot of work this late at night, I even had to look up a few : P Okay, here we go.

To sway = balancearse
To lean (against) = apoyarse (contra ...)
To contract (make smaller) = contraerse
To run = correr
To jump = brincar (saltar also in some situations)
To release (let go) = liberar (soltar) To gallop = galopar
To walk = caminar/andar
To tiptoe = andar/ir/caminar de puntillas
To march = marchar
To bend = doblar
To stretch = estirarse
To blink = parpadear
To swallow = tragar (often tragarse is used)
To flex = flexionar
To slide = deslizar/resbalar
To shake/tremble = temblar
To sit (down) = sentarse
To stand = pararse/ponerse de pie
To lay/lie down = yacerse
To kneel = arrodillarse
To reach = alcanzar
To squat = agacharse
To breathe = respirar
To shrug = encogerse de los hombros
To nod = asentir/señalar con la cabeza
To bounce = botar/rebotar
To stomp = pisar
To bite = morder/picar
To cry (whine) = llorar (chillar)
To smile = sonreír (often sonreírse is used)
To frown = fruncir el ceño
To chew = masticar

Well, I was surprised how many were actually not correct, but a decent amount were too. So I went ahead and put all 33, anything that is the same as the flashcard should already be correct.

Answer 2

Just one note:

To release = liberar / sotar (to let go of something)

mariana is correct. if this is supposed to mean let go, it should be soltar - unMica, Jun 27, 2012
