We are looking for an official corrector of the Spanish sentences for this thread, so if you are interested, please send a PM to either rac1 or me.
In the meantime maestroantonio has kindly offered to help us out. Please edit your sentences according to his suggestions!
As there are lots of native English speakers here, most of them can offer suggestions to the English sentences. I shall try to help as much as I can too, of course.

Here are the rules of the game:

• Use the word in an English sentence and add the Spanish translation of that sentence. Try to use the word in an original way.
• Vote for the sentences that you like most.
• Write sentences of at least 5 words, but don't write paragraphs of 4 sentences or more.
• Correct your sentences according to the suggestions of the corrector.
• Use your own words (and don't use a translator, a book, lyrics of a song, ...)
• Please, check your sentence at least one more time before sending it and correct your unnecessary errors; this would enlighten the task of our corrector considerably.
• The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
• Respect the rules of SpanishDict.
• Enjoy the game and always keep in mind that all of us are here to learn.

Mi frase/my sentence:

Huang Xin, a Chinese hairdresser, made miniature reproductions of famous Pekinese monuments entirely out of human hair.

Huang Xin, un peluquero chino, realizó reproducciones en miniatura de famosos monumentos pekineses enteramente en cabellos humanos.

¿Has visto todas las contribuciones en 'The Word of the Day' de ayer? GraceM, RichSean, sgarcia, shish, katydew, ... todos ellos merecen tu atención (y votos) también. Did you see all the entries of yesterday's Word of the Day? GraceM, RichSean, sgarcia, shish, katydew, ... they all deserve your attention (and votes) too.

Message from maestroantonio: "I've noticed that sometimes some users are missing some corrections so that is the reason I'm correcting in capital letters."

Well, I guess the materials are cheap. - katydew, Jan 22, 2013

Hahahaha, it was indeed mostly hair of his customers. First he earns money by collecting the hair and then by selling his art made from that same hair ;-) - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

Too bad that he needed quite a bit of hairspray and glue. - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

@maestro: I checked the dictionary of course and that told me that to make A out of/from B would translate: 'realisar en'. - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

@maestro-2: por ejemplo: realiso este esculptura en arcilla. Is that correct???????? - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

"monumentos p e k i n e s e s" (also "pequineses" but less usual) - maestroantonio, Jan 22, 2013

"reali z ó esta e s c u l t u r a en arcilla" - maestroantonio, Jan 22, 2013

Thanks maestro ;-) - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

A perfect house for louses! (Nasty) - maestroantonio, Jan 23, 2013

bleeeeegggghhhhh ;-) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

Great thread. A strong word like entirely naturally lends itself to extremes, which make for great photos. Kudos! - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

Thank youuuu, rog ;-) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

Everything, and I mean everything, is entirely your fault!

For you and all others here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLwizyrDaQ0 ;-)))) (that is what your sentence made me think of) - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

Hola Annie, have a great day :-) - pmikan-pam, Jan 22, 2013

I have no idea how to be so rude in Spanish actually. It's not personal! - annierats, Jan 22, 2013

Good link, poor man, so apologetic. - annierats, Jan 22, 2013

Hahahahahaha, annie, what a fabulous picture!!!! Now your sentence gets a totally different meaning!!!!! - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

I didn't say it was your fault. I said that I blame you for it. jejejee - katydew, Jan 22, 2013

katydear!! Hahahaha - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

:) Vote for the pic alone :):) - ian-hill, Jan 22, 2013

Good one Annie! - rac1, Jan 22, 2013

Instead of pigs in a blanket, it's pigs on a roof! - 0095ca4c, Jan 22, 2013

Answer 3

Cuando visitaba un palacio famoso en el medio de España y perdí las chicas, no entendí nada que las guardias estaban preguntándome porque me perdí mi confianza completamente. El problema fue que tomaron el camino equivocado

When I was visiting a famous palace in the middle of Spain and I lost the girls, I didn't understand anything that the guards were asking me because I lost my confidence completely. The problem was that they took the wrong way.

Oops, you must have felt bad then, Aran. Luckily it got solved! - mcl020, Jan 22, 2013

I love this one. This is how I feel half the time trying to figure out where I am. - katydew, Jan 22, 2013

"un famoso palacio en el centro de..." "...no entendí nada de lo que..." - maestroantonio, Jan 22, 2013

I love the cartoon. priceless! - rac1, Jan 22, 2013

More funny to us than the mice, I´d wager. - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

They should take the right direction !:). - shish75, Jan 24, 2013

@shish...I think that will be a dead end......although there may be light at the end of the tunnel. - Aranjuez12, Jan 24, 2013

Answer 4

Este insecto lo cautivó completamente hasta que le picó.

This insect enthralled him completely until it bit him.

Yuck, I would have screamed like a girl. Bueno, no Tanto, pero un poco. - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

I would not touch that. - RichSean1725, Jan 23, 2013

What is it??? I found it an intriguing animal, Grace, until the 'bit' part, then I also went 'yuk' ;-) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

Hahaha, funny comments. :) I don't what it is. I think it's one of those mysterious, internet creatures. - GraceM, Jan 23, 2013

I think pretty much all these weird giant insects are from Australia. - paramedichk, Jan 23, 2013

"Only an idiot can be entirely happy."

"Sólo un idiota puede ser totalmente feliz."(Mario Vargas Llosa).

Mario Vargas Llosa (1936-?) Escritor peruano. - shish75, Jan 22, 2013

Possibly, but would it maybe be worth it? :) - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

Hmmm maybe .... I have had my moments of total happiness. But it is not a continuous state, I'm afraid. - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

in that case I'd like to be an idiot - Aranjuez12, Jan 23, 2013

There are many words in Spanish that mean "entirely". How many do you know?

"¿Cuántas te sabes? / ¿Cuántas conoces?" - maestroantonio, Jan 23, 2013

Quite many, but I had to look them up for this thread ;-)) Good sentence! In the English sentence it should be Spanish (with a capital letter). - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

Answer 8

Esto es totalmente demasiado para mí tomar. Voy al lago y cojo los pequeños y ¡este muchachito coge el grande!

"Para mí, sujetar esto es totalmente abrumador..." - maestroantonio, Jan 22, 2013

That makes two of us mc! - 0095ca4c, Jan 22, 2013

Es completamente demasiado fácil dar a luz para niños, pero muy difícil ser padre.

It's entirely too easy to give birth to children, but very difficult to be a parent.

No parece tan fácil en la tele. - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

You let the poor women give birth twice in your English sentence Noetol, to make it even harder on her ;-)))) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

Whoops! - Noetol, Jan 23, 2013

"Es del todo fácil traer niños al mundo, pero muy difícil ser padre." - maestroantonio, Jan 23, 2013

Answer 13

The motor wasn't entirely under water, but it was close.

El motor no estaba enteramente submarino, pero faltó poco.

Looks like he is lifting his left foot. Wouldn't it be wiser if he (Is it you, rog???) kept the foot as near to the road as possible in case of slipping and falling??? - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

This is one of my competitors from that day, about 2 years ago. The problem here is twofold. The force of the water would probably force his foot off the footpeg anyway. - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

Secondly, you can rarely save it by putting your foot down in that scenario anyway, since it has much less grip than a race ti4e, but you can twist your knee to destruction. Common injury for us, just like beginning skiers sometimes do. - rogspax, Jan 23, 2013

Ok, I understand. Thanks for explaining ;-) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

"estaba completamente bajo el agua..." - maestroantonio, Jan 23, 2013

Great picture, Joyce ;-)))) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

I am glad he's allowed to put his knees on a soft pillow ;-) - mcl020, Jan 23, 2013

"Estoy completamente a su servicio" - maestroantonio, Jan 23, 2013

Answer 15

I am not entirely sure why someone would dress this way.

No esstoy absolutamente seguro de por qué alguien se vestiría en esta manera.

typo: estoy. This indeed is not the most suitable place imaginable to wear this shock-frock. - mcl020, Jan 24, 2013
