New Game - Find a word _ _ _ _ D
8
votes
The idea is to find an English word of 5 letters that ends in D.
_ _ _ _ D.
And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.
Example
She asked me if I wanted to dance.
Ella me preguntó si quería bailar.
Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

pound
(Yo) golpeé la mesa cuándo el hombre dijo, "El pastel de la libra cuesta una libra esterlina."
I pounded the table when the man said, "The pound cake costs one pound sterling."
or
La tarta de vainilla cuesta una libra esterlina. (To give a better idea, even though there's no vanilla in it. lol) Thanks, Francobollo! :D

La tarta de vainilla cuesta una libra esterlina - francobollo, May 26, 2013
That makes sense, Francobollo, although this is a picture of a 'pound cake.' It probably doesn't translate to Spanish and make sense. lol - Findy, May 26, 2013
It's traditionally called a 'pound cake' because years ago, it called for a pound (in weight) of each ingredient. - Findy, May 26, 2013
Yes, I understand the pound cake concept (I get it all the time). You can say bizcocho also. - francobollo, May 26, 2013
bizcocho (sponge cake). Yes, that's kind of the same thing too. In the UK they call it a sponge, and traditionally add 1 lb. of each ingredient as well, but cooked in a regular cake pan. - Findy, May 26, 2013

No worries raimundo...a very beautiful silk scarf at that amigo. I remember reading somewhere about the tradition of wrapping a man's hands in a silk scarf, but for the life of me I can't remember what country it was. I'm thinking Japan, but maybe not? - 0095ca4c, May 26, 2013
Margherite , you are right it was Japan , but it was used for death, the "Thuggees " in India used a silk scarf to strangle their victims , we get "Thugs " from that word, they were religious fanatics that worshipped the Goddess of death "Kahli" - ray76, May 26, 2013
