New game - D I S

Question

There are many words in English with the prefix “dis”.

The idea is to find one and write a sentence using it and translate it into Spanish.

Example.

She wasn’t entirely displeased with the result.

El resultado no le desagradó del todo.

Easy right? Fácil ¿no?

This thread has no official corrector so please correct where you can. Gracias.

Another great game. Muchas gracias. - osas-baby, Jan 16, 2014
