Idioms game with SBD prizes (number 13)

in #contest6 years ago

Please if you are Dutch/Belgian please leave the "correct" answers for other people from other languages, so we can all have fun! The prize for the "funny" answer is bigger anyway. Bedankt!

Thank for some of the non-English entries in the last round! If you want, please continue in your native language, but I can't be sure that Google Translate does a good job of your entry!

I'm learning Dutch. Everyone is familiar with idioms in their native language, but in an adopted language, they can quickly make you sound like an idiot! So, these are a few idioms in Dutch that I'm trying to learn, before I make an arse of myself!

Photos are my own!

To play this game, no Dutch is needed, I will give the literal translation in English.

Rules

  1. Upvote if you want, it helps me out to get the prizes done. Resteem if you want, again exposure means that maybe I can continue to increase the prizes!
  2. Have a go at trying to guess the meaning of each picture/idiom. You can enter BOTH a serious and a funny entry.
  3. Do it for each three!
  4. So to be clear: Each picture, a funny entry and a serious entry!
  5. Winner is at post payout. For the first serious correct entry (of each picture) there is a prize of 0.1 SBD. For the funniest (determined by me!) entry (for each picture) there is a 0.25 SBD prize.
  6. So, 6 prizes! You don't have to make an entry for each, but please make it clear so I know what is going on!
  7. BONUS: if you make an entry (required) and resteem (not required) then you go into a random draw for an extra 0.1 SBD. Just write resteemed in your answers so I don't have to chase everyone down!

Just having a go at the serious guesses this week (my head still a bit mixed from learning Spanish and some Hindi last week):

  1. See the cloud hanging - to be prepared for something bad to happen
  2. The pant belt tightens - to be short on money for essentials (sounds very much like the English expression)
  3. The wire is lost - not being able to follow the story from beginning to the end

Thanks for the resteem! Hindi and Spanish? Not exactly languages that go together? (3)

Yeah, I don't recommend it :p
