A grounded fly?:confused::thinking::D


To all recent jokes.......:lol::lol::lol:

Hello.

Today I have a question for this post.

Although I know this post was made for solely jokes, I don't know what means one word wrote in the post.

I'd like to know.

What does grounded means?

I did a little search in the internet, and only I found that grounded means castigado, I don't know if that fully true.

I will grateful with your prompt answer.

Hi Crotalito, I'm glad you asked. Yes, "grounded" means punished but this term is also used on airplanes that are not allowed to fly, usually, for maintenance or other safety issues.:)

I got it.

Then I can use that word like a punish over a person or that word only are address for commonly things.

I mean, I could to use that definition when I punish to my children for do something bad in the house.:)

Me parece que el sentido original debe de ser "limitado a la tierra" (de un avión), y que la acepción "prohibido de salir" (el castigo a los niños) se derivaría de ése.

Then the original phrase does't make sense.
The phrase would be written so.

You are punish today without get out right.

You have forbidden to get out of the house.

Which ones sound more logical for you.

Please look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounding_(punishment)

*You are punish today without get out right.
You are being punished today without permission to leave.
(Mi intento en español: Hoy te castigas sin permiso para salir.)

*You have forbidden to get out of the house.
You have been forbidden to leave the house.
(Mi intento: Se te ha prohibido que salgas de la casa.)

Hoy estás castigado sin permiso de salir. :)

Gracias (por la corrección, no el castigo.) :D

To get back to the topic of this thread......What is funnier than a grounded fly???:D

Thank you for the advices.

I'm punish today, because I can't leave my job.

My boos always is exigent.

That was my other attempt.
