No cabe duda que los pisos en la Torre Inclinada de Pisa se inclinan.

There is no doubt that the floors in the Leaning Tower of Pisa tilt.

Think of the job cleaning those floors must be. All the dirt and stuff would get stuck in those cracks. Fortunately, I am not a very dilligent cleaner, so I wouldn't have to do it very often. ;) - MacFadden, Aug 16, 2010

I'm confused... I thought we were using "piso" in sentences? - aceydoubleyou, Aug 16, 2010
Yeah, you have to use the word of the day in the sentence. lol. - socceryo3, Aug 16, 2010
Or did you just want to let us know about your trip? ;-D - aceydoubleyou, Aug 16, 2010

Have you been there as well? - fontanero, Aug 16, 2010
Yes. The ride wasn't there at that time but we did tour on the bus. :) - Brynleigh, Aug 16, 2010
I drive by often, but I've never been on the Eye, - fontanero, Aug 16, 2010
Oh, I would love to go on it! You must do it and tell us about it! - Brynleigh, Aug 16, 2010
I have been on the Eye. The view is beautiful, but you are in a car with 20 other people and you experience depends greatly on how the others in your car behave (or don't). - Echoline, Aug 16, 2010
The weather makes a huge difference. Poor visibility is not uncommon in London. - fontanero, Aug 16, 2010

¡Me haces rodar por el piso riendome! You make me roll on the floor laughing! (No idea if that is correct in Spanish).

¡Estoy taaaan cansada que quiera dormirme por el piso! I am soooo tired that I want to fall asleep on the floor!

Does the vote mean my sentences were correct? I am very uncertain if they are (especially the first one; never heard or attempted to say this in Spanish before!) - aceydoubleyou, Aug 16, 2010

To mean "roll" on the floor? That sound more like fall... - aceydoubleyou, Aug 16, 2010
Yes, that is really what it means. I know it may not seem like it if you translate it directly. - pescador1, Aug 16, 2010

Gracias para su ayuda. The english now becomes " I was inebriated and exhilarated, I tried to reach for the sky, but instead of (in place of) that, I fell to the floor. - MattM, Aug 16, 2010

The word "piso" is synonymous with "suelo" in some places. The both mean "floor."

La palabra "piso" es sinónimo del "suelo" en algunos lugares. Ambos quieren decir "floor."
