Hints for this Quiz

Think: for the machine, use "quedarse + participio" (resulting state); for people, "ponerse + adjetivo" (reaction/emotion).

Correct: "se quedó colgado" + "nos pusimos nerviosos". For devices/tech in Spain people often say "colgarse / quedarse pillado" to mean that a PC/service has frozen. And "ponerse + adjetivo" expresses a change of state/emotion (cf. "ponerse bueno" = to get better, recover).

"quedarse pillado" in IT = to freeze, to get stuck (like a system freeze).

Here "se queda pillado" = "it freezes, it stops responding" (IT slang in Spain).

With "Eso…" choose the form where "that" causes the emotion: "Eso me pone…".

We need to highlight the cause ("Eso…"): the structure "poner + objeto indirecto (me/te…) + adjetivo" means "to make someone feel/be a certain way": "Eso me pone contento". "Me pongo contento" without "eso" is also possible, but with "eso" the sentence calls for the causative "me pone".

For devices: "quedarse + participio" in the past to show the result: "se quedó colgado".

"El sistema se quedó colgado" is the standard way to talk about a system freezing. In IT Spanish, "colgarse / quedarse pillado" is used for devices/technical systems.

The system/web "se queda pillada"; the people "nos pusimos nerviosos". The key is: what "freezes" and who "gets nervous".

"Se queda pillada / se quedó colgado" point to problems with the website/deploy; "nos pusimos nerviosos" describes the people’s reaction. These expressions correspond to Spanish IT slang: "colgarse / quedarse pillado".

A person changes state → "ponerse"; the computer → "quedarse pillado".

People: "ponerse + adjetivo" (change of emotion/state), cf. "ponerse bueno". Machine: "se queda pillado" (it freezes).

People: "ponerse + adjetivo (in plural)"; machine: "quedarse colgada/colgado". Also check the tense (ayer → indefinido).

For people we say "ponerse nerviosos" (reaction), for the server "quedarse colgado/pillado" (it froze). This is how it’s said in Spanish IT contexts: "colgarse / quedarse pillado" for devices/technical systems.
