Caefuego is the official corrector of the Spanish sentences. There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Please correct your posts according to Caefuego's suggestions.

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. Yo esperaba que él me cocinara algo sabroso, pero sólo obtuve un plato de gusanos. Bueno, es día de los inocentes de abril.

I expected him to cook something tasty, but I got a plate of worms! Well, it's April Fools April..

2. Escuché una canción muy sabrosa ayer, pero no me recuerdo el título.

I heard a nice song yesterday, but I don't remember the name.

I don't know why the spacing on this looks the way it does. - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

I.m not sure this is the right place to ask this..but why is Esperaba in the imperfect rather than the preterit and if the main clause is in the past shouldn't - patc, Apr 1, 2012

whoops, lost it. If the main clause is past shouldn't the dep. clause be imperfect subjunctive? - patc, Apr 1, 2012

Happy April Fool's! :D - cheskasullivan, Apr 1, 2012

where is the word of the day in the first sentence?! :) - shama807, Apr 1, 2012

Good questions, and very good observations. - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Racd, I think esperaba may be fine, feeling, background to the happening. I may be wrong, I'm not good on this at all. Await help! - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Thanks Annie, I tried to fix it, but I'll see what Cae has to say.:) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

¡Hola, amigos! - Silvia_Tcherneva, Apr 1, 2012

Hola Silvia!:) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Sí, hay un pequeño error en la primera oración, sería "Yo esperaba que él me cocinara algo sabroso, pero sólo obtuve un plato de gusanos..." - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Thank you so much Carlos!:):):) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 1

El verdadero amor no puede ser sabroso siempre, porque también es sazonado con la pena del extrañar y la amargura de los celos / True love cannot always be sweet, because it's also seasoned with the pain of missing and the bitterness of jealousy.

Be happy with life and let the others go to hell - Desert_Rose, Apr 1, 2012

Dear Desert_Rose, I think you should not use words like this here on this site. This site is a good site where words like yours should not be posted. Please, do not get offended, I mean it in a good way. Kind regards. - iana01, Apr 1, 2012

Iana, it's a fairly normal expression, it is not swearing. ( not in England, in Sweden it would be). - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

In Sweden words with a sexual connotaion are not swearwords however. But words containing the devil etc are. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Annierats, thanks for explanation. But, well, different country, different culture, different point of view, different words.... In some countries it can be swearword. Kind regards. ;) - iana01, Apr 1, 2012

Relax, Iana, relax, in this instance. or , go to hell, as you please.. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

No offense intended, nor, I think, by je suis ici. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Annierats, no comment. Adiós. - iana01, Apr 2, 2012

Every word, which people say, speaks about their character, behaviour, personality, attitude etc. These all aspects give you the image about people. Adiós. Kind regards. - iana01, Apr 2, 2012

El estudio de un idioma es a veces aborrido para mucho gente, pero aprender español en Span¡shD!ct es muy sabroso.

Studying a language is sometimes boring for many people, but learning spanish in Span¡shD!ct is very pleasant.

Es cierto Shama :)) - livas2010, Apr 1, 2012

sí, Livas. ;) - shama807, Apr 1, 2012

Typo: "aburrido"... Tal vez no diríamos que es "sabroso", sino "agradable", aunque podría tener algo de sentido decir que es "sabroso" dependiendo de las actividades que hagas... Sabroso se usa más que todo para la comida. - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Tthank you teacher. :) then, I will eat spanishdict. lol - shama807, Apr 1, 2012

I cannot eat spanishdict and the sentence is out of topic.Shall I delete it and how? :) - shama807, Apr 1, 2012

No, no tienes que borrarla. =) Sólo debes retomar la lección. - -cae-, Apr 2, 2012

ok my teacher, thanks :) - shama807, Apr 2, 2012

Answer 5

Unos momentos con mi nieto son lo más sabrosos.

A few moments with my grandson are the most delightful.

awww!:):) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Maybe in Spanish we wouldn't use that word (sabrosos) for such situation, because it would sound a little... sick. Use it to describe food or tropical music. - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Lost in translation. Thanks for the tip. - Noetol, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 7

La comida más sabrosa está en los restaurantes locales de las siudades ciudades pequeñas.

The most delicious food is in the local restaurants of the little towns.

Irresistible. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

"ciudades"... Jaja. ¡Muy bien! Es curioso, escribir "s" en lugar de "c" es una falta de ortografía típicas de muchos latinoamericanos. =) - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

It's funny.)Thank you for correction!=) - kat9wa, Apr 1, 2012

quise decir "típica" (singular). - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

I have to look for my grandmother's mini fruit tart recipe because they are very tasty.

¡Bonita foto! - je_suis_ici, Apr 1, 2012

Muchacaha, creo que éste es el caviár.. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Suena bien para mí, aunque también se podría decir "minitartas de fruta" - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Me encanta las minitartas de fruta! - katydew, Apr 1, 2012

¡Muchas gracias, caejuego! - sanlee, Apr 2, 2012

Answer 9

Anoche ocho personas vinieron para cenar, y tuvimos unos curris muy sabrosos.

Last night eight people came to dinner and we had some very tasty curries.

I haven't found a plural form of 'curry' in Spanish. - jennysk, Apr 1, 2012

Looks good!:) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Puede ser: algunos comidas cocinados al curry? No sé. Esperamos Cordobesa o Caefuego.. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Invitamos a los dos, para probarlo... - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

¡A los tres! Y si no me invitas a mí, por lo menos invita a lAs dos chicAs que comentaron antes que yo. - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

:))) Yo diría que en español es "curry" o "curri", y su plural "curris". - Cordobesa, Apr 1, 2012

Tienes razón, se me escapó el plural =S. Lo siento, Annie. ¡¡¡A Cordobesa no se le escapa nada!!! - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Jajaja, muchas gracias, Cae, pero no es cierto ;) - Cordobesa, Apr 1, 2012

muchas gracias a todos por ayudarme! - jennysk, Apr 2, 2012

Mis amigos, venga para cenar por favor - estoy en Australia. Estan cerca? - jennysk, Apr 2, 2012

Answer 10

Soy sabroso, pero nunca lo sabrás, hasta que me hayas dado una mordidita.

I am tasty, but you'll never know it, until you take a bite.

I can't see the image.. ;p - cheskasullivan, Apr 1, 2012

Impressive sentence, picture of no picture. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

This is the link to the image: http://forums.egullet.org/uploads/1189525540/gallery_50527_4885_20886.jpg - xtiagox, Apr 1, 2012

Es verdad en otro navegador (crome y explorer) no podía ver la imagen, ya la subí a otro servidor. - xtiagox, Apr 1, 2012

Hahahaha, Now I understand why annie wrote that about my sentence. I was talking about exotic cuisine. - xtiagox, Apr 1, 2012

En mi país el armadillo casi se ha extinto por la caza excesiva. =| - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

I am tasty, but you'll never know it, until you take a bite. Xtiagox, if you serve this, I think I may have to decline your dinner invitation... hhahahahhaaaa Good work on the sentence, but your cooking may need tweaking a bit. - katydew, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 11

La cocina casera de mi esposo es sabrosa.

My husband's cooking is delicious.

You're lucky! Mine can't boil an egg. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

lol - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

¡Que bien! =) - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Your husband must be like me Annie, well I pretend that I can't boil an egg. - kenwilliams, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 12

Hay muchos platos que se sirven en Nueva Orleans, que son muy sabrosos.

There are many dishes served in New Orleans that are quite tasty.

i'd say: "En Nueva Orleans, se sirven muchos platos deliciosos" or "Hay muchos platos deliciosos en Nueva Orleans" and so on - ytotrip, Apr 1, 2012

sorry delicioso is the same as Sabroso - ytotrip, Apr 1, 2012

"...platos que se sirven...", "sabrosos"... Un plato es masculino, Rac. =) - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Thanks Carlos, you're a life saver, lol:) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 13

Para mi, la música latina es muy sabrosa. For me, Latin music is very tasty.

=) - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Nilda, don't say this in England. it will sound totally odd and wrong. - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Over here, just say you love latin american music! - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

We can't use 'tasty' about something we hear, but maybe in America you can?? - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Listen to it whils wearing your PAJAMAS, perhaps??? I'm the last defender of spoken Eglish and I''m not even English, according to my mother-in-law... - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

Sólo puedes decir que la música TROPICAL es "sabrosa", por ejemplo la salsa, el merengue (que por cierto tienen nombre de comida), no puedes decir que las baladas son sabrosas =) - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

In the US, especially among musicians, the terms "tasteful" and "tasty" are pervasively applied to music, even ballads; it has nothing to do with a nexus to food, but speaks to performances, orchestrations or interpretations done in "good taste." - TejanoViejo, Apr 1, 2012

Tienes razón, no tiene nada que ver con el hecho de que tengan nombres de alimentos, pero es una curiosa y graciosa coincidencia que puede servir para recordar. Gracias por el dato. - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 14

• Ayer, mi amigo me preguntó, "¿Cuál es la más sabrosa cerveza del
  mundo? "A decir verdad" , tuve que decirle, " las más sabrosas de las cervezas son las que no se pueden degustar en la
  proxima mañana.".

• Yesterday, my friend asked me, "What is the best tasting beer in the world?" "To tell the truth," I had to tell him, " the most savory of beers are those which can't be tasted the next morning."

Good one!:) - rac1, Apr 1, 2012

TV, in spite of hating beer, I vote for you! - annierats, Apr 1, 2012

"... mi amigo me preguntó [a mí]: "¿Cuál es la cerveza más sabrosa (¿deliciosa?) del mundo?"... ", "... las cervezas más sabrosas son las que..." - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012

Answer 15

Cuando un amigo está enfermo, Trato de llevarle tomar un plato sabroso así que ellos no hay tienen que cocinar.

Hi Katy I have a correction for your text. Cuando un amigo está enfermo, trato de llevarle un ..... así ellos no tienen que cocinar. - xtiagox, Apr 1, 2012

De acuerdo con xtiagox. - -cae-, Apr 1, 2012
