In the parable of the sower, how would you say, "seed 1" ?

Question

We want to make t-shirts that our team will use to act out this parable. Someone will wear a t-shirt that says, "Seed 1" in Spanish, Someone will wear a t-shirt that says, "Seed 2", another "Seed 3", and the last,] "Seed 4" . What is the correct Spanish word for seed?

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum,

The word you are looking for is "semilla".

Last summer we did something similar with our teen group in the Dominican Republic. - Nicole-B, MAY 29, 2010

Are you working in a Spanish speaking country? - Nicole-B, MAY 29, 2010

Yes we will be in Peru. Thanks. - struax, MAY 29, 2010

Answer 2

I love your idea but I have a hard time imagining any Spanish speakers I know/knew writing "Semilla 1/2/3/4".

In your place, I'd go for "Primera Semilla", "Segunda Semilla", "Tercera Semilla" and (guess what?) "Cuarta Semilla".

Best of luck.

Y'know what? I've just remembered my daughter as the 2nd Carrot in a school thing. "Segunda Zanahoria".

That makes sense, thanks so much! - struax, MAY 29, 2010
