Para conjugar adecuadamente el verbo pingüinear es preciso levantarse temprano y tomar un barco para llegar a la Isla Magdalena, monumento nacional natural de los Pingüinos, en medio del Estrecho de Magallanes. Después de 1 hora de viaje y de avistar las sombras de los leones marinos en la Isla Martha, es posible llegar a una tierra apropiada para este verbo.

To conjugate adequately the verb "to penguin" you have to rise early and take a launch to land on Isla Magdalena, Natural National Monument of the Penguins, in the middle of the Strait of Magellan. After an hour's voyage, including views of the silhouettes of sealions on Isla Marta, it's possible to arrive at a landing appropriate to the verb.


When the launch anchors, "I penguin" surges from the spirit and your being surges from the quay with an itch in the camera finger ready to shoot. Then you seek your companion, and when you sense emotional concurrence, the "thou penguinest" is inevitable. The first two persons singular are guaranteed. When a third person crosses in front of you seeking the best photo (obviously all are the best) saying with some annoyance "he or she (or it) penguins" is almost inevitable.

You walk on and in synchrony with others you stop to observe the Magellanic Penguin which chooses to cross the path in front of you, hence "we penguin". Then when you see a group of ten trying to look into the same nest, it is possible to say only "they penguin".

Después de una hora de observación y 400 clic en tu cámara, es posible establecer que en este verbo el vosotros pinguineais es irreal, porque siempre estas involucrado y además suena un poco anticuado para el momento.
After an hour's observation and 400 shots of the camera, it's possible to conclude that the form "you (all) penguin" is impossible because it is impossible to stand by uninvolved, and in addition (in Spanish at least) this form seems somewhat archaic today.
Así que visitar la Isla Magdalena cuando estás en Punta Arenas es indispensable para el aprendizaje de tu idioma, y conjugarlo en pasado es delicioso! Nunca se permitan el pretérito pluscuamperfecto, sería un pecado para el alma.
Thus a visit to Isla Magdalena when you are in Punta Arenas is indispensable to expand your vocabulary and being able to conjugate in the past tense is wonderful. Never is it acceptable to employ the modal past perfect tense: this would be a sin for the soul.

If your lesson has been fruitful, surely you will be permitted to see Commerson's dolphins around the launch on the way back, as you can see here, for your enjoyment.
