Thank you so much Amb. :) - crucesignatus, Sep 7, 2015

I love it when games are started by those who give so much to the site. Thanks, Cruce! - Sassette, Sep 7, 2015

Suggestion: replace "without the need of the alphabet" with "not necessarily alphabetically" - Jubilado, Sep 7, 2015

Also, if the game doesn't get enough views consider a name change to something everyone will know like "Spanish verb game." Otherwise, keep the name you've got. It's a good start so far. - Sassette, Sep 7, 2015

Good suggestion, thank you Jubliado. :) - crucesignatus, Sep 8, 2015

I hope that it should not be necessary, thanks Missy. :) - crucesignatus, Sep 8, 2015

Good one mate just seen it , will think on't. - ray76, Sep 10, 2015

hehe, perhaps for the name... :) - crucesignatus, Sep 19, 2015

Answer 1

pensar - to think

I've been watching "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" episodes. I see this a lot. - Jubilado, Sep 7, 2015

It's the first thing I thought of for the word. :) - rac1, Sep 7, 2015

;) Me, too. - jrschenk, Sep 17, 2015

I dare you! ¡Atrévete!

Don't do it!!! - Findy, Sep 17, 2015

Erigir- erect

La estatua de Libertad fue erigida en 1886.

Nice one, Porcu! ♥ - rac1, Sep 7, 2015

Answer 4

Ligar = To Pull (a boyfriend / girlfriend)...

'Pull' is very odd, 'to pick up' is better. Perhaps 'pull' is British, I've never encountered this usage. - roveg, Sep 7, 2015

Aye, it's British. Here 'pick up' is also used, but i would suggest it has a more seedy conotation in the UK... Here someone you 'pick up' might expect to be paid... ;-) - Faldaesque, Sep 7, 2015

Pull is fine! I mean, if you want to pull. It sure works in England, if you're attractive, if not, you'll never ull.. Sad! - annierats, Sep 7, 2015

Pick up, not the same at all! - annierats, Sep 7, 2015

Pull means you've haed success with the girl, pick up is just to well, pick one up, but she may well have discarded you soon after.. - annierats, Sep 7, 2015

Interesting...I have not heard it either. Thanks for posting this, I've learned something new. :) - rac1, Sep 7, 2015

I have heard this before - but I lived in the UK for 2 decades. A person might go out with friends in the hopes of "pulling" a member of the opposite sex. - Findy, Sep 17, 2015

Answer 5

hallar

to find

Hallan es muy facíl al azar palabras en un libro. Mirando en linéa es duro.

It is very easy to find random words in a book. Looking online is difficult.

Hola...please add the English sentence. :) - rac1, Sep 7, 2015

The spanish looks a little odd to me. I'd say "Es muy fácil hallar palabras al azar en un libro. las hallar en línea es duro." - BailaBailaBaila, Sep 7, 2015

If you use "hallan" it implies that many people are looking for the words, not one person, if that makes sense.... - BailaBailaBaila, Sep 7, 2015

In English, I don't mean anyone in particular, it could be everyone or no one, so I try to use neuter forms. It's very confusing. - roveg, Sep 8, 2015

It will be best like this: "Es muy fácil encontrar las palabras en un libro, encontrarlas online es lo difícil". - crucesignatus, Oct 2, 2015

Answer 6

Silbar = To Whistle...

Answer 7

abrazar - to embrace, to hug; to clamp

Un abrazo de mí, amigo. - Jubilado, Sep 7, 2015

Gracias amigo. :) - rac1, Sep 14, 2015

Hola, Missy. ♥ - rac1, Sep 14, 2015

Answer 8

Esperar..

To wait or to hope for.

I put this up today because I've spent hours in the Spanish office of the OCA waiting for attention..With some faint hope of getting my paperwork sorted.

Hoy he pasado horas esperando attención en la oficina de OCA en Medina Sidonia, con illusión// esperanza de arreglar los papelitos.

:( - Sassette, Sep 7, 2015

I can imagine...I don't like waiting so long either. :) - rac1, Sep 7, 2015

:( - crucesignatus, Sep 8, 2015

I hope that your waiting end soon Annie. & Espero que la espera termine pronto Annie. :) - crucesignatus, Sep 8, 2015

Seguramente, Cruce, no cabe duda.. - annierats, Sep 10, 2015

Answer 9

enviar

I'm assuming "mandar" can be used too. I did some research and it seems that "mandar" is o.k. to use too but it can also mean "to give orders." - Sassette, Sep 7, 2015
