Evidentemente

evidently, plainly, clearly, manifestly, glaringly, notoriously.

This thread is kindly moderated by cordobesa. Please correct your posts according to cordobesa’s indications and suggestions, and of course use the corrections to learn from your errors! smile. (Dr. Vicente is away, and will return soon… )

Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
• Captions with 3 words or less
• Paragraphs should not be longer than 1 1/2 lines but can have up to 3 line for practice.
• Posts which make no sense in either language
• 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 correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish
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:

Evidentemente, se debería leer las instrucciones antes de comenzar un proyecto. Desgraciadamente, la mayoría de los hombres leen las instrucciones como último recurso (como yo)


Obviously, people should read the instructions before starting a project. Unfortunately, the majority of men read the instructions as a last resort (like me)

To explain to those who may not know... In the show "Star Trek", when on a mission, the men wearing red were always the ones who never made it back. - Tosh, Jan 28, 2012
¡Muy buena, Tosh! ¡Y de nuevo sin un solo fallo! :) - Cordobesa, Jan 28, 2012
Gracias! I was afraid I needed to use "se van a morir"... but would that change "are going to die" to "are going to pass away"? - Tosh, Jan 28, 2012
I think in this context "van a morir" is better, although you could use "se van a morir" and the meaning would be very, very similar :) - Cordobesa, Jan 28, 2012
Man, I had to go change my blouse today after reading this one. No red for me! - katydew, Jan 28, 2012

Alguna cosa es evidentemente mala aquí. ¡Espero que mi esposa no vea esto!

With Cordobesa's corrections:

Algo está evidentemente mal aquí. ¡Espero que mi esposa no vea esto!

or even better:

Creo que tengo un problema. ¡Espero que mi esposa no vea esto!

Something is clearly wrong here. I hope my wife doesn't see this! wink

Is that the proper use of the subjunctive that I see?? ;) - Tosh, Jan 28, 2012
