When answering these word of the day questions, do we have to use the word 'golpe' in that form or can we use variations? Like golpeaba, golpearan etc.? - --Jen--, Mar 25, 2010
Only the noun "golpe". The word of today is not "golpear" - Fidalgo, Mar 25, 2010
Ok, thanks :-) - --Jen--, Mar 25, 2010

Cuando escribe el cuento, en lugar de decir "de golpe" diga solo lo que ha ocurrido.

When writing a story, instead of saying "suddenly" just say what actually happened.

I can only guess at the meaning of your English sentence - nizhoni1, Mar 25, 2010
Not sure what you mean by this, but my best guess at an English translation would be "...every time I pick up a hammer I bruise myself." Though I'm not sure about that. Could a more advanced speaker correct me? - Morethan3words, Mar 25, 2010
