Secular...

Question

As you know my english is no where good at all. I'm trying to improve it. If its possible i would like some help making sentences with the word "secular and melancolico." So far i have only come up with these two sentences off the top of my head by looking at the dictionary:

You can make sentences in english or spanish.

melancolico - sombrio = gloomy, sad

secular = not pertaining to religion, of or pertaining to worldly things.

Vivo en un estado secular. I live in a state with different people. ( I think)

and

Las celebraciones seculares tambien son de vital importancia en todos los paises centroamericanos.

Otro rasgopropio de la marcha procesional es el ambiente sombrio (melancolico) que se crea durante el recorrido.

and

Era un dia sombrio.

and

Era un dia melancolico

Are you trying to form English sentences? I don't exactly understand what you need. - pesta, Oct 14, 2011

Answer 1

Good tries at the sentences.

I would say something like:

The book was aiming for a secular audience. (It was made for common people, the average guy)

I was in a very melancholy mood that day. (Feeling down, no energy, just blah)

So my sentences are wrong? - Rey_Mysterio, Oct 16, 2011

Answer 2

Hecho, since I don't really understand the meaning of secular I can't help you much but I can tell you to remember that in English, the first letter of languages is always capitalized as is the letter I (yo). Your statement ...no where good at all, would sound better as........ no where at all good (rather colloquial) or better...isn't at all very good , but to be honest it seems pretty good to me from what I have seen in your posts on the forum. Keep up the good work.
