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. Then the Word of the Day winner will be chosen!

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. No puedo hacer dos cosas al mismo tiempo.

I can't do two things at the same time.

2. Siempre dice lo mismo.

He always says the same thing.

Hoja de tu misma rama algo lejos del tronco al que te atas. Observas la hoja acompañada con las hojas de tu misma rama, fortaleciendo la esperanza. Hoja de tu misma rama baila alegremente, lleno de amor en si misma. Comparto tu silencio mirando esa vida que es la tuya. La brisa de viento acaricia a la hoja de tu misma rama, lleno de la fuerza de amor.

Sheet of the same branch a little far from the trunk which you stick. You observe the sheet accompanied on the sheets of the same branch, strengthening the hope. Sheet of the same branch dances cheerfully, I fill of love if the same. I share your silence looking at this life that is yours. The wind breeze caresses to the sheet of the same branch, fully of force of love.

People are not the same, even though they look the same.

Correct: "Las personas no son iguales, aun cuando pueden parecer [ser] las mismas"

Las personas no son las mismas, incluso ellos pueden mirar las mismas.

Bien Annie. No existe una traducción exacta para multi-tasking, pero sí para multi-task = multitarea, multi-tasking entiendo que se refiere a la acción de estar haciendo varias cosas, luego multi-tasking = "estar haciendo múltiples actividades/tareas". - -cae-, Apr 16, 2012

Locura es hacer la misma cosa una y otra vez y esperar resultados diferentes.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

A lot of women who were unlucky in love have said "all men are the same", but I think they must take a moment for introspection and self-criticism..

enter image description here

Muchas de las mujeres que no tienen suerte en el amor dicen que "todos los hombres son lo mismo", yo digo que les hace falta tener un momento de introspección y autocrítica.

El matrimonio, el amor, la paternidad, la amistad y la vida. En el pasado, creía que todo estos eran diferentes, pero ahora me doy cuenta que todos son lo mismo.

Marriage, love, parenthood, friendship, and life. In the past I believed that these were different, but now I realize they are the same.
