Which is the correct Spanish translation for 'Don't touch'?

• A. Alto.
• B. No toque.
• C. No se mueva.
• D. Policia.

Answer: (B)

Don't touch is a prohibition aimed at the action of touching something. In Spanish, you form negative commands with no plus the appropriate imperative form of the verb. For tocar, the formal singular command is toque, so the natural translation is No toque. This is the phrasing you’d commonly see on signs or spoken commands directed at a single person in a professional or police context. Alto is a general stop command and doesn’t specify touching. No se mueva means don’t move yourself, which is a different action. Policia is just the word for police, not a verb.
