La Palabra del Día: "salvo"
salvo
preposition ( except, apart from )
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.Todos están contentos salvo mi madre.
Everyone is happy except my mother.
2.Cocina muy mal salvo sus ensaladas.
His cooking is awful except for his salads.
