Nine letter word Challenge - 20

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.

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

L E P

A E T

M A N

The letter highlighted must be used. E

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

Example:

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men – the other 999 follow women.

Sólo un hombre de cada mil es un líder de hombres - los otros 999 siguen mujeres.

After at least 10 answers - for my nine letter word the poster will get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

Hola Pamalita! - rac1, Oct 16, 2013

He won't. He comes from the best! - rac1, Oct 16, 2013
Hola rac1! La palabra correcta es emanan por que estás hablando de dos cualidades. Por tanto, debes utilizar la palabra en plural. La oración correcta sería: Poder y confianza emanan de él. Espero haber sido de ayuda. :) - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013
Sí, muy útil, Muchas gracias amigo! - rac1, Oct 16, 2013
De nada amiga! :) - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013

Some of the injuries are horrific. Poor things. - 0095ca4c, Oct 16, 2013
Hola! Las oraciónes están perfectas salvo por un pequeño detalle escribiste "lesiones de barco hélices" y debe ser "Pero son suceptibles a las lesiones por las hélices de los barcos". - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013

Hola! Es muy buena la oración pero la palabra correcta debe ser amplias ya que estás hablando de más de una. Por tanto, la palabra debe ser utilizada en plural."Era una mujer "con proporciones amplias". - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013
También puedes decir "Era una mujer de proporciones amplias" Se escribirá un poco diferente pero es lo mismo. :) - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013
She has wisely chosen to park her prodigous posterior on a very amply proportioned car. Well played. - rogspax, Oct 16, 2013
Muchas gracias Cacciator. I did play with that one and chose incorrectly.Your corrections are much appreciated. - 0095ca4c, Oct 17, 2013
You are so diplomatic Rog, I love it. - pmikan-pam, Oct 17, 2013
Ha, then it´s a good thing I didn´t say ... and speaking of big moons ... - rogspax, Oct 17, 2013

Excelente oración! Debería correjir la palabra "comer" e intercambiarla por "comerla o comersela". De esa manera la oración obtendrá la coherencia necesaria. - Cacciator, Oct 16, 2013
