Nine letter word Challenge - New Version - 3

Nine letter word Challenge - New Version - 3

5
votes

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

This is a new version – there are 10 given letters.

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

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word – a 10 letter word gets 20 points immediately.

These are the letters for this challenge.

L E O

D E N

G S A T

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

Example:

Dates are very popular especially at Christmas.

Los dátiles son muy populares sobre todo en Navidad.

date palms photo: Date Palms, Peace Garden, Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum 89datepalms.jpg

After the first 10 answers my nine letter word ends the challenge and the poster gets 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge

Since my first answer was not the word in mind, I come with three more guesses! =]

  1. Gladstone: un coche ligero de caballos con cuatro ruedas

Los coches Gladstone fueron usados durante los años 1800.

Gladstones were used during the 1800s. enter image description here

  1. Elongated: Elongado

It is a custom for the Kayan women of Burma to have elongated necks.

Es un costumbre birmano para las mujeres de Kayan a tener cuellos elongados.

enter image description here 3. Angelotes: Chubby babies

¡Mira esos angelotes preciosos!

Look at these precious little cherubs!

Okay, that's all for my guessing. =]
