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.)

Le digo a mi querida esposa que a veces una gemela malvada la suplanta, y le digo a la gemela malvada que quiero que me devuelva a mi querida esposa.

I tell my beloved wife that at times an evil twin replaces her, and I tell the evil twin that I want her to return my beloved wife to me.

Queridos usuarios,

Por favor, no usa argot ni hable en 'ebonics', ni en inglés, ni en español, si usan estas formas.

Muchas gracias y saludes,

Wakka


Dear users,

Please don't use slang or speak in ebonics, neither in English nor in Spanish, when using these forums.

Thanks and regards,

Wakka

jejej - estoy de acuerdo contigo!! - 001a2987, Aug 8, 2011
There's nothing wrong with so-called ebonics. AAVE is, to many people, a perfectly valid variation of English. ;-) - StephenTrevor, Aug 8, 2011
Slang is an important linguistic fact! It cannot be ignored. - 002262dd, Aug 8, 2011
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it...it's just that I barely know one language well, I'm working on a second, I'm not sure if my little brain can take any more languages!! jajjaja - 001a2987, Aug 8, 2011
:-) Ok, I understand now. Sorry if it seemed like I "jumped on ya" for that post. Peace. - StephenTrevor, Aug 8, 2011
No hay problema! :) - 001a2987, Aug 8, 2011

Dear Children,

Remember how your parents always used to say that spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them? Well, they lied.

Sincerely,

Spiders

Queridos Niños,

¿Se acuerdan cómo sus padres siempre decían que las arañas tienen mas miedo de uds. que uds. tienen de ellos? Pues, ellos mintieron.

Sinceramente,

Las Arañas
