¡Hola a todos!
Today's lesson talked about what people are wearing this week in Pamplona. For those of us that are not going to Pamplona, here's the question of the day (Answer in English or in Spanish!)
Yo llevo una camisa negra y unos pantalones cortos de color café. I've got a black shirt and brown shorts.
Traigo puesta una blusa roja, pantalon de mezclilla y tacones rojos. El rojo y el negro son mis colores favoritos.
Hoy, llevo puesta una blusa negra y pantalon blanco. Mis pendientes son negros.
¡Hola!
Estoy todavia en mi pijama porque aqui a Sherbrooke Québec son las nueve de la mañana y no trabajo porque hoy es el 1 de julio - ¿fiesta? ¿cumpleaños? de Canada; aqui, se dice «La fête du Canada».
Entonces, mi pijama es marino y mi camiseta es blanca.
Pregunta: En español, las colores qué son también cosas (rosa, naranja...) ¿plural?
Disculpame para mi pobre texto... Estoy Newbie - pienso en frencés antes escribir cada palabra...

Buenas dias Lili
Has dicho: Traigo puesta una blusa... Explicame por favor.
Muchas gracias
Mario
OK - here goes --
Yo llevo una comiseta gris y una pantalón corto negro.
and yes -- liliana -- what exactly does the "puesta" do to the sentence? I always have trouble with that word "puesta"....it just pops up sometimes unexplicably!
Yo llevo una ropa blanca, este tipieco ropa, su nombre "Thob".
I am wearing a white piece of clothes, it is traditional and we call it "Thob".
Yo llevo una camisa azul, y un pantallon marron.

Ponerse could mean “to put on” clothes. The sentence Te pones la ropa - You put on your clothes. Comes from the website http://groups.msn.com/LearningEnglish-Spanishlanguage/reflectiveverbs.msnw.
Puesto is the past participle of poner. The past participle of a verb can be used as an addective. This is just like English - aquilar – to rent aquilado – rented (aquilado and rented are the past participles) Traigo puesta una blusa roja means "I have on a red blouse". A literal translation would be "I bring put on a red blouse".
Hola todos,
Hoy hace calor y estoy llevando usos pantalones blancos y una camiseta azul. Disafortunadamente creo que lloverá mas tarde.
llevo un numerito negro. es mi ropa de trabajo deberia cambiar cuando vuelvo a casa pero siempre era demasiado cansado. mañana es mi dia libre entonces puedo llevar algo de colores muy vivos.
i am wearing a little black number. its my work clothing. i should change when i return home but i'm always too tired. tomorrow is my day off and so i can wear something more colourful
thanks stevestv --
makes sense, I looked in the dictionary and saw puesto defined as a place, etc. so I didn't immediately think of the past participle of poner, which confused me. But Liliana used the word puesta, which I assume is also from the infinitive poner, and if so, is it the same puesta which is found in such phases as "puesta a punto" (tuning), "puesta de sol" sunset, and "puesta en marcha" (starting), so do I translate these as "putting to the point" as in tuning, "putting of the sun" (sunset), and "putting in movement???" starting a vehicle?

Your are welcome. I do not know of any paper dictionaries in which you can find conjugated verbs. My favorite online dictionary is Wordreference.com
gbfowler, Liliana used the word "puesta" because she was referring to "una blusa", that is a feminine noun, so she used the feminine past participle.
Hoy llevo una camiseta gris y pantalones cortos negro por que hace freakin' mucho color en South Mississippi. ¡Cada dia!
Hey, how 'bout some of you folks droppin' by the Intermediate blog and see "que pasa?" I owuld love to have your comments on what I post - I look all over for cool things to consider.
Llevo una gris, y pantalones cortos de mezclilla.
Hola JP y Lili. Gracias por la lección. Entonces la revisión de audio no funciona.
Hoy llevo una camiseta azul brillante y pantalones cortos negros. Por fin esta verano aqui en Victoria, British Columbia! Que padre! (How great!) Estoy muy feliz. Me gusta llevar puestos muchos colores brillantes en el verano. Me gusta el tiempo caliente.
Yo debería haber nacido en México. (I should have been born in México.)

Hola,
Estoy confundido de el uso de "pantalon" y "pantalones" ¿Porqúe está Liliana utilizando "pantalon" y JP "pantalones"? Estan ambos masculino palabras y sustantivos.
Pussycat
Puedes utilizar ambas maneras, traigo un pantalón o traigo unos pantalones. Ambas son correctas.
Gracias Liliana.
Gracias por esta lección :) For running of the bulls, can anyone on the streets participate in the run? I think you need to be very athletic before joining the run or else... Do you get a prize when you manage not to be hit by the bull? I read that the Spanish people think it is good luck to touch the bull? I guess it is not so “good” when the bull touches you jaja,
I've always been fascinated with "Bull Fights" especially the matadors. They are so fearless standing alone in that big arena and their suits are so beautifully crafted. I’m looking forward to more lessons about this tradition, thanks esti J
ewong, you´ll get to know everything about the running of the bulls in the coming lessons. Let me tel you everybody is allow to join this runnig of the bulls, but of course should be athletic people. Most of the runners train themselves through the year, although there is always somebody taking the risk without paying attention to the real danger it is to be out there among the bulls and risking unconsciously other runners. And as you said, lots of people think to be of good luck to touch the bulls.
Hola.
Yo llevo una camisa amarilla, y un pantalon gris.
