Nine letter word Challenge - 12

Nine letter word Challenge - 12

6
votes

Nine letter word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

The idea is to make words of 3 or more of the given letters.

The letter highlighted must be used. A

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

B S A

O A R

O I L

Find an English or Spanish word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

Example:

I wish I could soar like a bird. - I would like to be able to soar like a bird.

Me gustaría poder elevarme como un pájaro.

soar photo: soar 20060814122729_soar_above_it.jpg

For a nine letter word the poster will get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

Do you like my glass beads?

Broil - Asar a la parrilla

(I took some liberty with Englishes Broil using all the letters, and Spanish's Asar supplying the A)

Who doesn´t like a London Broil?

A quién no le gusta un London Broil?
