Spanish language Q&A Forum

I encountered the following question during an exercise at A1 level:

"Yo ______ mis manos en el agua. (I plunge my hands in the water.)"

It is my understanding that mi/mis should not be used with body parts or clothing. Could you please advise?

Thanks

How do native Spanish speakers typically handle the following situations:

Case 1:

You look up and see some birds (either los pájaros or las aves). Which are typical to say?

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitos!

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitas!

or would you be more specific? 

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitos los pájaros!

¡Mira! ¡Qué bonitas las aves! 

Case 2:

Your friend is holding something in his/her hands. You can't see for sure but you are certain it is one of the following:

  a lizard (un largato) 

  a salamander (una salamandra)

  a toad (un sapo) 

  a frog (una rana) 

Or maybe you think of it simply as una cosa or un animalito or un bicho, un monstruo, una bestia, etc. 

What might you typically say:

¿Qué tienes? Tráemelo.

¿Qué tienes? Tráemela.

Thanks.
