La Palabra del Día: " seguro"

La Palabra del Día: " seguro"

seguro

adverb ( safe, secure, reliable, certain )

Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The sentence with the most votes will be crowned the Word of the Day winner!

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Examples:

1.Esta parte de la ciudad no es segura.

This part of the city is not safe.

2.No estoy seguro.

I'm not certain.

Nice attempt, I would suggest just a few changes "Me sentía mas segura después que compré una sistema de seguridad para mi casa." - martha-sd, Mar 13, 2012
Actually, el sistema is a masculine noun so it would be 'un sistema'. - martha-sd, Mar 13, 2012
Otra forma: "después de comprar" :) - Cordobesa, Mar 14, 2012

English sentence is good and good advice, too! Just remember the capital letter at the beginning of the sentence. When.... - katydew, Mar 13, 2012

Really good English sentence!:) - rac1, Mar 13, 2012

Hola Luis, no quiero meterme donde no me llaman, pero tengo que advertirte que en Inglaterra diríamos 'seatbelt', aunque se entendería eso que dices. También, mis amigos, ¿estaís seguros de que usar un cinturón de seguridad evitaría accidentes? ;) - 001b709c, Mar 14, 2012
No obstante, Luis, es posible que se use 'safety belt' en los EEUU, no sé. :D - 001b709c, Mar 14, 2012

Si bloqueo todos las puertas y las ventanas, ¿voy a sentirme seguro? Sí, si el peligro está fuera. Si no, voy a necesitar un psiquiatra.

If I lock all the doors and windows, am I going to feel safe? Yes, if the danger is outside. If not, I am going to need a psychiatrist.
