word of the day

Question

the word of the day today is :"afligido"
and i was wondering how you use that in context like
would you use
tengo afligido
soy afligido
estoy afligido

if someone knows i would appreciate it.
thank you

Answer 1

The correct expression is "estoy afligido"

Answer 2

Kind of a strange choice for Word of the Day, but you would say "estoy afligida" (since you are presumedly a woman). Or it could be used as an adjective.

Answer 3

thank you so much and ya it is kind of a strnage word but i want to know how to use them all hahaha but i apriciate the feed back

Answer 4

Cassandra, your typing is almost as bad as mine....jejje

Answer 5

When you type a comment here, misspelled words such as strnage and apriciate should be underlined in red dots. Does this not show up in your browser? I'm just wondering why there are so many spelling errors in messages.

Answer 6

haha yes i know my typing is bad sorry

Answer 7

estoy afligido

Answer 8

i'm sorry my words are spelled wrong it's not my first language and i type so fast i skip letters but no it does not come up on my browser i misspelled them.

Answer 9

Very interesting. Is this true for others? When I click on Reply to This, I get a pale yellow box to type in. When I type a misspelled word, such as wrod, the word is immediately underlined in red.

How about other people? I'm using Firefox for my browser, in case that makes a difference.

Answer 10

My question on the word of the day concerns the translation. I have never heard afligido used in the context of heartbroken. My translation of afligido is worried.
Any comments'

Answer 11

Not on explorer, James. I use a corrector.....terrible typing.....

Answer 12

Not really, Sally....have yo had a look at all the definitions?

When I hear afligido...I think of "desolate, distressed..." have a look in our dict.

Answer 13

I didn't realize that. Then I recommend that you all get Firefox, since it is VERY convenient to have this built-in spell checker.

Answer 14

Sally
You were going to let me know when you got back.

Answer 15

I use Firefox, and it underlines all the spanish words. It let's me know to capitalize Spanish. I didn't underline the first word spanish, (nor this one), on this page. How do they it come out when published?

I've been adding the Spanish words to the dictionary. I don't know where that dictionary is. I suppose a huge data file somewhere on my harddrive.
