How much can you fit on a boat...before it sinks?

Question

I am impressed with everything that you all came up with for what can you fit in a big truck and what can you fit on a train. So, here is another one, except this time, it is how much can you fit on a boat without it sinking? I am sure there are going to be some great answers.

perrito de arcas ? .. but perrito means a puppy or a little Dog ,, so this would mean .. a puppy of arcs .. hehe (does perrito also mean expert?) - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Thanks Nelson, I forgot the speling but had remebered the word from years back, whe, like Jimmy, I wondered why we should ask a puppy! - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

@ Jimmy, I think the indicative serves quite well, I was thinking: We'll go and ask Noah, now, sort of thing. - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

ok dear as u say - 00b055e0, Apr 29, 2014

Sometimes one unwanted passenger can overload a boat.

A veces, un pasajero no deseado puede sobrecargar un barco.

Emphasis on "Unwanted" :) - 00ffada9, Apr 29, 2014

Wow! This would be a very very bad day! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Depends on how big the boat is.

Depende de qué tan grande es el barco.

That too. :) - rac1, Apr 28, 2014

you get to decide for this game. :) - actorgirl, Apr 28, 2014

sí sí .. por qué no ... definitivamente - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Sure does! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Some stretch.. - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

My first thought was an airplane carrier. You could fit almost anything in or on it. :) - Kpinky, May 14, 2014

Answer 4

seven people - siete personas

espero que se pudieran salvar (por un equipo de rescate) - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Hi Jimmy...they were all saved....rescued after 20 hours in the water. All are fine. - 007c5fc1, Apr 28, 2014

That is sad. - rac1, Apr 28, 2014

Answer 5

Más sacos de arroz que puedo imaginar sería posible.

More sacks of rice than I can imagine would be possible

bueno amiga, me gusta mucho el arroz .. - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Wow! How is this possible? :-0 - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

This looks risky! - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 6

Depende de que tan grande sea lo que se va a poner en él.

Depends on how big the object is that will be placed on it.

oh dear. - actorgirl, Apr 28, 2014

Hahahaha - rac1, Apr 28, 2014

hahahah - 007c5fc1, Apr 28, 2014

my friend .. very nice picture .. request u though to kindly place an accent over que (sk it does look like an interogative pronoun) - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

also no subjunctive (sea) is required here .. u might want to use the futuro of ser (será) to express a conjecture or supposition or probability in the present (or simply the present indicative).. - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

but ,, good use of se passive and the relative pronoun (lo que) .. and grest picture indeed. - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

just because there is a que wont make it trigger a subjunctive .. this is not the conjunction-que but the interrogative- qué .. there is no subordinate/dependent clause requiring the use of subjunctive ..my dear .. but a very good attempt ..keep it up - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

I have used subjunctive in my comment which I have made on Margherite's picture of a sinkkng boat ... try analysing that one and discuss if u wish - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

I know most people face a lot of difficulty with subjunctive .. so just trying to help my friends here .. ok guys I am signing off .. bye for now .. regards - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Absolutamente se puede usar el subjuntivo aquí- es muy común hablar así. ¿No se sabe qué es lo que se va a poner en el bote, verdad? ¡Espero que tengas una buena noche y que sigas con tu aprendizaje, amigo! : ) - jphip, Apr 28, 2014

Well, this is getting more interesting by the comment :-) - 007c5fc1, Apr 29, 2014

All the guy in the boat wants do is eat and get to his end destination. Espero que no se hunda, pero es incierto que llegue a su destino final en un bote así. Si hubiera elegido un bote adecuado, no habría ninguna duda que llegaría sin ningún problema. - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Si se hundiera, espero que sepa nadar. Lo bueno es que la grasa flota en el agua, según los expertos. Lo malo sería si apareciera un tiburón que no le importe que su carne tenga mucha grasa. Pero mejor pensemos positivamente para el bien estar de - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

nuestro gordito en el botecito. : ) - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

haha .. tu gordito necesita adelgazar tan pronto como sea posible de lo contrario va a hundir el bote y va a ahogarse el el mae - 00b055e0, Apr 29, 2014

en el mar * ... si sigue engordar como esto .. haha ... muy Gordo .. :) - 00b055e0, Apr 29, 2014

Jhip, waht a sight! - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

@jimmy1978 *engordando así (engordar como esto no es correcto pero se entiende) - jphip, May 2, 2014

Answer 7

Basta que el espacio es solo estar de pie. Enough that it's standing room only.

I wonder what would happen if the Coast Guard saw this? - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Plenty of room, hop on! - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 8

Lamentablemente, estos competidores fueron demasiado entusiasta en su intento para triunfar las otras entradas del hilo de actor girl y ahora se encuentran descalificada.

Sadly, these contestants were a little too overzealous in their attempt to trump the other entrants in actor girl's thread and now find themselves disqualified.

my friend .. could u suggest me some other word or words for "sadly" as lamentablemente seems rather too strong to me .. as if one is lamenting the loss of some near and dear one .. - 00b055e0, Apr 29, 2014

Too competitive. Lamentablemente sound very suitable to me, anyway. Probably to the owner of the ship too. - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

uh-oh! - actorgirl, Apr 29, 2014

Para mí la palabra 'lamentablemente' es como anillo al dedo con la broma. :) - dennywells, Apr 29, 2014

I normally use tristemente for sadly - 00b055e0, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 9

Los barcos transatlánticos son tan enormes que podemos compararlos con los hoteles de lujo. Tienen piscinas, campos de deportes y pueden transportar muchos viajeros y gran personal.

The transatlantic ships are so huge that we can compare them with luxury hotels. They have swimming pools, sports fields and can carry many travellers and great staff.

That sounds great right about now! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 10

Soy un hombre pobre y no puedo permitirme nada más que un barquito de papel .. y no podría cargar nada en un barquito tan pequeño ... de lo contrario podría hundirse ..

I am an impecunious man and all I can afford is a little paper boat and wouldn't be able tl load any thing on a boat so small (except ofcouse a few sweet words)

Inglés? - 007c5fc1, Apr 28, 2014

Poor Guy! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 11

Bastante lujo si puedes permitírtelo.

Quite a bit of luxury if you can afford it.

haha .. yo no puedo prrmitirmelo (serå demasiado caro) .. - 00b055e0, Apr 28, 2014

Solo puedo soñar con algo como esto. - bosquederoble, Apr 28, 2014

This is my dream boat! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 12

Lo que quizás sea demasiado obvio- un aeropuerto

What might be too obvious- an airport.

Awesome! - jphip, Apr 29, 2014

:) - annierats, Apr 29, 2014

Answer 13

Iba a decir una gran fiesta, pero parece que el grupo entero no cabe en el bote.

I was going to say quite a party, but it seems the entire party doesn't fit on the boat.

This looks like lake Austin in Texas. - jphip, Apr 29, 2014
