Agradecer

to thank, to acknowledge, to show gratitude

This thread is kindly moderated by Dr, Vicente. Please correct your posts according to Dr. Vicente's indications and suggestions, and of course use the corrections to learn from your errors! smile.

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:

Me parece increíble cuando alguna gente no agradece ayuda que otros le ofrecen. En mi opinión, se debe intentar mostrar agradecimiento por todas las cosas.


For me, it is unbelievable when some people don’t appreciate help from others. In my opinion, you should try to show appreciation for all things.

In every moment in your life; in those good and bad occasions in your life; always say Thanks to God.

En cada momento en tu vida; en todos los ocasiones buenos y malos en tu vida; siempre dile Gracias a Dios.

Correction: En cada momento en tu vida; en todas las ocasiones buenas y malas en tu vida; siempre agradece Dios.

Siempre tienes que agradecer a los que te ayudan. No te lo cuesta nada pero es bueno como oro.

You should always thank those who help you. It costs you nothing but it is as good as gold.

Excellent Billy! You only need an accent..... - RaulSpaniard, Feb 2, 2012
gracias Raul, is the accent in the correct place? - billygoat, Feb 2, 2012
Wow, Billy hablas el castellano tan naturalmente... - drvicente, Feb 2, 2012
gracias Vicente sigo aprendiendo cada dia :) - billygoat, Feb 2, 2012
Billy, I was wrong, since year 2010 it's not necessary to accent it, only if there is an ambiguity. :) - RaulSpaniard, Feb 2, 2012
Raúl, aceptamos el acento..porque aprendí la acentuación hace muchos años en la escuela. - drvicente, Feb 2, 2012
¡Muy bien, Billy! :) A mí también me resulta difícil no poner acentos tal como me enseñaron a hacerlo de pequeña en la escuela. - Cordobesa, Feb 2, 2012
thanks amigos! Well I like it.... its one less accent to have to worry about hehehe ;-) - billygoat, Feb 3, 2012

I didn't realize how long is the beak of the swordbill hummingbird until I saw a real one and could appreciate it.

No me di cuenta cómo tan largo es el de la longitud del pico del de un colibrí picoespada hasta que lo vi, una de verdad yo mismo y pude podía agradecerlo.

With corrections fully applied (for easier reading):

No me di cuenta de la longitud del pico de un colibrí picoespada hasta que lo vi, yo mismo y podía agradecerlo.

You show gratitude to the people who have helped you once only when you discover that you're in trouble and no one is willing to help you like they did before!

Te agradeces a la gente que te ha ayudado una vez solamente cuando descubres que tienes problemas ¡y nadie va a ayudarte como lo hicieron antes!

Showing gratitude doesn't cost a thing and it's worth a lot to the other person. Don't forget it! wink

Agradecer no cuesta nada y supone mucho para la otra persona. No lo olvides!
