Querido

Beloved, dear, fond, loved, well-liked

DO NOT use the translator!! ¡No usar el traductor!

**Work must be done by yourself. This thread is about YOUR ability not the ability of the translator. wink**

Post your sentences in Spanish and English, then vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes and language correctness.

These threads are kindly moderated by **StephenTrevor**. Please correct your posts according to StephenTrevor’s indications and suggestions smile.

Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
• Captions with 3 words or less
• Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
• Posts which cannot be understood it is read three or four times
• Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
• Captions copied directly from books or other sources.
• Multiple posts from one person, or those who don't write the sentences in both English and Spanish.
• Remember to use the Word of the Day in a typical Spanish sentence. This is great practice for you and for everyone that reads the thread to see how the Word of the Day could be used in a sentence.

Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish. (You'll be sent to the dunce corner!)
Please refrain from overloading with graphic content (ie; bold smileys, etc). It makes it harder for the correctors to be able to read your posts…. )


My Example:

La vida es muy triste cuando su querida está en vacaciones (y no está por aquí.)


Life is very sad when your loved one is on vacation (and is not around.)

Nuestro querido abuelito solía contarnos historias muy lindas, sentando en su silla, la cual fue construída especialmente con esa intención . . . . . .

Our dear grandpa used to tell us very nice stories, sitting in his chair, which was especially made for this purpose . . . . . .

Is it wrong to say "el tiempo" for weather instead of "la clima"? - MadSkills, Aug 9, 2011
I mean does saying one instead of the other mean something particular in spanish? - MadSkills, Aug 9, 2011

A mi querida Susie y a mí nos gusta comer comidas diferentes. A ella le gusta la langosta y a mí me gusta la carne de res

My original mistake; Mi querida Susie y yo nos gusta comer las comidas diferentes. Le gusta langosta, y me gusta carne de vaca.

My beloved Susie and I like to eat different foods. She likes lobster and I like beef.
