*hint caught*
Alright. Let's keep on with the fun!
So what about
dog vocabulary? The pronunciation is in italics, between brackets. An apostrophe ( ' ) means that the stressed syllable is that one. The pronunciation is not intended for you to go like that in your Spanish class. I might not know the exact transcription, etc. Please don't take this seriously. This class is intended for fun
English ~~ Spanish
Dog ~~ Masculine: Perro (peh-rroh); Feminine: Perra (peh-rrah) ((most feminines in Spanish end with an "a" instead of the typical "o" for masculine))
Leash ~~ Correa (
koh-'rreh-ah)
Collar (the piece of leather, etc. that goes around their necks) ~~ collar (
koh-'yah-r)
Paw ~~ pata (
'pah-tah)
Breed ~~ Raza (
'rah-tha) [[Note: the 'th' there is pronounced as in 'the', but kind of different]]
Tail ~~ Cola (as in Coca Cola XD Ya know, Coke.)
Hair (in this case, fur, well) ~~ Pelo (
'peh-loh)
Kibble ~~ Pienso (
pee-'yen-soh)
Walk ~~ Paseo (
pah-'seh-oh)
Bath ~~ baño (
'bah-nyoh)
And now, some verbs
(dog-related)
To walk ~~ Pasear (
pah-'seh-ar)
To bath ~~ Bañar (
bah-'nyar)
To feed ~~ Literally, it would be "Alimentar" (
ah-lee-mehn-'tahr) But you usually say "Dar de comer" (
dar deh coh-'mer) which would be translated as "Give to eat"
The verb to walk conjugated is as follows (1st person present)
Pasearyo paseo (el perro) ~~ I walk (the dog)
tú paseas (el perro) ~~ You -singular- walk (the dog)
él pasea (el perro) ~~ He walks (the dog)
nosotros paseamos (el perro) ~~ we walk (the dog)
vosotros paseáis (el perro) ~~ you -plural- walk (the dog)
ellos pasean (el perro) ~~ they walk (the dog)
You don't usually use that form, though. The most common expression I use is, "Sacar a pasear", which literally translated means: " To get out to walk" (get out in the infinitive). It would be conjugated
Yo saco a pasear
Tú sacas a pasear
Él saca a pasear
Nosotros sacamos a pasear
Vosotros sacáis a pasear
Ellos sacan a pasear
AND NOW, a very important note about
verbs Regular verbs in Spanish have three main "conjugations". Those which end in "-ar" in the infinitive, in "-er" or in "-ir".
Every verb ends in those. There are three modes, but we're just going to deal with one, at least for now: indicative.
So, they have maaaaany forms. We're just going to deal with the "presente de indicativo" (present of indicative).
But that will be in the next class; I don't want you to mess stuff up because I gave you too much info, ne? ;)
For homework, you guys can make a sentence with the vocabulary you learnt today. Don't mess up with the verb, though, because it can be confusing ;)
Please correct me if I got something wrong!!
