Note: This word will be the official Word of the Day and will be posted January 20, 2012.
If you have ideas for good words, please send me a PM I will make it a future word of the day.
This thread is kindly moderated by drvicente. Please correct your posts according to drvicentes indications and suggestions, and of course use the corrections to learn from your errors! .
Use the Word of the Day in a complete sentence that best exemplifies one of its definitions. Please provide both the Spanish and the English version and vote for other sentences that you like. The two best sentences (the most voted and the one selected by the mod and the thread owner) will be chosen to be used as the example sentences for the Word of the Day 30 days later based on votes and correctness. ********************************************************************************* Remember, you may NOT use a translator. This exercise is to test your abilities to write in both Spanish and English. ********************************************************************************* Only fully correct sentences are eligible to be chosen for the Word of the Day example sentences. ********************************************************************************** You may choose to include one picture with your sentences, but this picture may not be included in the Word of the Day email, so make sure your sentence is fully comprehensible without the visual aid .
The Palabra del Día will be posted one month in advance, and therefore will not match the word posted on the Website

My Example:
Tengo que levantarme todos los días a las cinco para ir a trabajar. Sé que es extraño, pero los fines de semana siempre me despierto entre las cinco y las seis de la mañana. Es muy triste.
I have to get up every day at five to go to work. I know it is strange, but on the weekends I always wake up between five and six in the morning. It is very sad.
