Spanish - Average Trivia Questions
1. The verb "caber," meaning "to fit," is possibly the most difficult irregular verb to memorize in the present tense, specifically in the "yo" form. What is the proper way to conjugate "caber" in the "yo" form?

From Quiz Irregular Conjugations

Answer: Quepo

Because "caber" doesn't follow any specific pattern for the present, "yo" conjugation, you basically have to memorize that "quepo" is the correct "yo" form. "Cupo" is the 3rd person, singular, preterite form of "caber."

2. Imagine you are in Spain and are suffering from constipation. Which word do you need to use for your ailment in order to get the correct treatment?

From Quiz The Translator's Betrayal

Answer: estreñimiento

"Constipado" and "resfriado" are synonyms and both can be translated as "a cold". Gripe means "flu". So be careful with what you say to the doctor...

3. What is the auxiliary verb needed to form the compound tenses in Spanish?

From Quiz Spanish Verbs

Answer: haber

To form the compound perfect tenses, the verb haber + the past participle is used.

4. The lights have just gone out. You are planning to make a typical Spanish omelette. So first you need to find the key ingredient. You go to the pantry and feel around until you find several large - what?

From Quiz Alone in a Dark Kitchen

Answer: patatas

Of course, the opening ingredient in a Spanish omelette is potatoes. You must select several and slice them into tiny squares ready to cook.

5. What is the conjugation of the verb "amar" in the first-person singular (yo)?

From Quiz The Preterite Imperfect Spanish Quiz

Answer: Amaba

"Amaba" is conjugated in the first-person singular and in the third-person singular of the imperfect (or the past imperfective) of the indicative, and "amas" is conjugated in the second-person singular of the present indicative. "Amo" is conjugated in the first-person singular of the present indicative. "He amado" is in the first-person singular of the present perfect (pretérito perfecto compuesto) of the verb "amar".

6. What is the proper syllabification of "el invierno"?

From Quiz The World of Spanish Phonetics

Answer: e-lin-vier-no

Spanish prefers open syllables, and so tries to end syllables in vowels. The sounds [i] and [e] together form a diphthong, and thus are pronounced as one sound.

7. If I say, 'Hola! Bon dia!' to you in Catalan, what am I saying?

From Quiz Català

Answer: Hello, good day!

Quite similar to Spanish -- iHola! iBuenos días!

8. Which car related term does "amortiguador (m)" mean?

From Quiz Specific Spanish Words

Answer: shock absorber

"Muffler" would be "silenciador (m)" or "mofle (m)", with the latter being more common in Central America and Mexico. "Car battery" would be "batería (f) del coche". "Spare tire" would be "llanta (f) de repuesto".

9. If someone is offering you 'una bola' (a ball), what is he or she most likely referring to?

From Quiz Dominican Jargon

Answer: a lift

Most likely you might want to accept that free ride to your house, since it is very difficult being a pedestrian in the Dominican Republic. In fact after certain hours, there are many places in the city of Santo Domingo where public transportation isn't always available. This situation is even worse in smaller towns.

10. When you were much younger, you always went to the park on Saturday. Complete this sentence: "Cuándo eras niño, siempre ______ al parque el sábado."

From Quiz El Mundo de Español: Las Formas del Verbo "Ir"

Answer: ibas

Ibas is the 2nd person singular imperfect form of ir. Ir is one of only three irregular verbs in that tense. The others are ser (era) and ver (veía).

11. What is the first person plural conjugation of the verb "caber"?

From Quiz Spanish Present Tense Verbs

Answer: cabemos

"Caber" means to fit. It is not used that often, but the first person singular conjugation is one that you must remember, as the present subjunctive is conjugated using the same irregular stem. The verb follows a regular conjugation otherwise in the present indicative. "Cabimos" is the preterite tense in the first person plural conjugation.

12. Give me the Yo form of hacer in the present tense.

From Quiz Spanish Verb Conjugation

Answer: hago

Hacer has an irregular yo form.

13. A bean or a form of 'to be'.

From Quiz SpanishEnglish- Same Spelling, Different Meanings

Answer: Soy

14. The English word "actually" is one of the most common mistakes in translations from or to Spanish. What is the Spanish translation?

From Quiz The Translator's Betrayal

Answer: En realidad

"Actualmente" means "nowadays", "actualidad" is "actuality" and "frecuentemente" can be translated as "often" or "usually".

15. What is the conjugation of the verb "andar" in the second-person singular (tú)?

From Quiz The Preterite Imperfect Spanish Quiz

Answer: Andabas

"Andabas" is conjugated in the second-person singular of the imperfect (or the past imperfective) of the indicative. "Andas" is conjugated in the second-person singular of the present indicative. "Andaba" is in the first-person singular and in the third-person singular of the imperfect indicative. "Anduviste" is conjugated in the second-person singular of the preterite (or the simple past) of the indicative.

16. If I asked you, 'Com estàs?' in Catalan, how would you typically respond?

From Quiz Català

Answer: Molt bé.

'How are you?' 'Very well!' 'Molt bé' is a very popular expression in Catalonia and something you will learn very quickly if you visit!

17. What is the Spanish word for "turnip"?

From Quiz Specific Spanish Words

Answer: nabo (m)

"Repollo", and "col (f)" in Mexico, mean cabbage. "Remolacha" means "beet". "Calabacín", and "calabacita (f)" in Mexico, mean "zucchini".

18. Let us suppose you are a guy, and you find a girl very attractive. While speaking to your friends, how do you most likely refer to this girl?

From Quiz Dominican Jargon

Answer: una jeva

If you are talking about a hottie, she is definitely 'una jeva'. 'Un cómeme' is a very ugly woman; 'una chivirica' is a derogatory way to refer to an overly flirtatious girl; 'una chopa' is a very tacky woman. The diminutive term of jeva is 'jevita' and the term is most often used when speaking about a girl from middle- high or upper class.

19. Which country is named "Suecia" in Spanish?

From Quiz Countries in Spanish

Answer: Sweden

Home of the Swedes! This one always tricked me in my early years of Spanish study. Suiza is Switzerland - the "z" is the key to remembering that.

20. What is the first person singular conjugation of the verb "conducir"?

From Quiz Spanish Present Tense Verbs

Answer: conduzco

"Conducir" means to drive. The first person singular form is irregular in the present indicative. There is no stem change and the rest of the verb has a regular -ir verb conjugation.

21. Future of hablar: Tu

From Quiz Spanish Verb Conjugation

Answer: hablaras

The future and the conditional are the only tenses in which the entire infinitive is used as the stem.

22. A type of horse or a way to say 'I paint'.

From Quiz SpanishEnglish- Same Spelling, Different Meanings

Answer: Pinto

23. Another word often translated wrongly into Spanish is "Army". What is the correct word to use?

From Quiz The Translator's Betrayal

Answer: Ejército

Usually translated as "Armada", this word is a synonym of "Marina", both of which mean "Navy". The Air Force would be "la Fuerza aérea".

24. What is the conditional perfect first person of the verb aplaudir (to applaud), which in Spanish means to applaud?

From Quiz Spanish Verbs

Answer: habria aplaudido

Habria aplaudido is translated as "I would have applauded". Aplaudi is the preterite, and means "I applauded'. Aplaudiria is the conditional, and aplaudo is the present.

25. Now, to continue this famous Spanish dish, you must turn the hob on, and then search in the cupboard for what large object to fry the vegetables in?

From Quiz Alone in a Dark Kitchen

Answer: sartén

Yes, obviously a frying pan is what you need! Season slightly with some salt and pepper and then fry until potatoes are brown.

26. What is the conjugation of the verb "tener" in the third-person singular (él)?

From Quiz The Preterite Imperfect Spanish Quiz

Answer: Tenía

"Tenía" is in the third-person singular of the imperfect (or the past imperfective) of the indicative. "Tenemos" is in the first-person plural of the present indicative. "Tiene" is in the third-person singular of the present of the indicative. "Tuvo" is in the third-person singular of the preterite (or the simple past) of the indicative.

27. "Oso (m) hormiguero" is Spanish for which animal?

From Quiz Specific Spanish Words

Answer: anteater

You may have made the connection with "oso", meaning "bear"; "hormiga (f)", meaning "ant"; and "antbear", which anteaters are sometimes called. "Polar bear" would be "oso blanco". "Grizzly bear" would be "oso pardo". "Macaw" would be "guacamayo (m)".

28. Suppose now, you are one of the hottest babes in the Dominican Republic. Who would your girlfriends most likely tell you to stay away from, even if he asks you out?

From Quiz Dominican Jargon

Answer: un grillero

'Grillero' or a 'cricketer' is a common term to refer to man that enjoys the company of ugly women, or "grillos" (crickets). Your girlfriends would not advise you to stay away from "a riquito", considering they are referring to a rich boy. "Un pájaro" would not be interested in you, since he is a gay man. "Un bonche" is a party, and parties don't ask people out!
