Murder of Crows...

Question

Aquí está un juego para divertirse, especialmente para los hispanohablantes nativos quién pueden tener una oportunidad de ver inglés extraño y loco. La idéa es que tiene que usar una frase para un grupo de animales o otras cosas que tiene un especial nombre en inglés con un imagen y la tarducción en español (que sera una tontería). Si alguien peude poner ejemplos españoles también, sería asombroso. Voy a hacer lo primero para mostrarle lo que quiero decir.

Here's a game to amuse you, particularly the native Spanish speakers who can have a chance to see weird crazy English. The idea is to use a phrase for a group of animals or other things with a special name in English with a picture and the Spanish translation (which will be gibberish). If anyone can give Spanish example too, that would be amazing. I'll do the first one to show you what I mean.

Murder of crows / Asesinato de cuervos

Thought you might have said "Murder of COWs" for a moment there... :) - 00ffada9, Mar 10, 2015

Answer 1

I tried something similar a while back, but our words for collections are completely different to Spanish ones and once people had published full lists it petered out. I started on birds and was then going to animals. Here is a link but good luck you will probably receive a better response than I did. I got docked reputation and it put me off.
