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. Nació en la mismísima ciudad que yo.

He was born in the very same city as I was.

2. Vi al mismísima reina del Inglaterra.

I saw none other than the queen of England.

*Vi a la mismísima reina de Inglaterra.....In the first sentence "mismísima" sounds terrible... - ytotrip, Apr 30, 2012

Answer 7

No situation in the life are much the same. Not even waves in the sea are the same. Sometimes the sea is calm, sometimes it is rough. It is similar in life. We just have to be good captains of our ships to lead them safely to the port.

Ninguna situación en la vida es mismísima. Ni siquiera las olas en el mar son mismísimos. A veces el mar está tranquillo, a veces está rugoso. Es similar en la vida. Sólo tenemos que ser buenos capitanes de nuestros barcos para conducirlos al puerto con seguridad.

Tienes toda la razón, Iana :)) - livas2010, Apr 30, 2012

Hola Livas. Me alegro que te guste. :)) - iana01, Apr 30, 2012

..situation in life... are the same... ('are much the same' might work here)....lead them safely to port - katydew, Apr 30, 2012

Answer 9

Si no lo hubiera visto con mis mismísimos ojos, no habría créido que fuera posible.

If I hadn't seen it with my very own eyes I wouldn't have believed it possible .

I'm pretty sure it's "...hubiera visto" and "...habría creído," But I'm not sure about "fuera." This one's hard :) - GuitarWarrior, Apr 30, 2012

I know guitar, I'm very doubtful myself, I've been some time deliberating. I'll go for your habría, for a starter, thanks! - annierats, Apr 30, 2012

Possibly I should do a re-write in an easier form? - annierats, Apr 30, 2012

Answer 10

Según mi profesor de castellano, Shakespeare y Cervantes murieron el mismísimo día, aunque no sé si creerle. According to my Spanish teacher, Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the very same day, though I don't know if I should believe him.

Nicely done. - katydew, Apr 30, 2012

Yo te puedo aclarar una cosa: Shakespeare y Cervantes murieron el mismo día. Pero en aquellos años España e Inglaterra tenían calendarios diferentes. Por lo que, en realidad, murieron con unos días de diferencia. - SilviaC, Apr 30, 2012

¡Ah! ¿Y Sabes que algunos creen que Shakespeare y Cervantes eran la misma persona? Si encuentro más información te la digo. - SilviaC, Apr 30, 2012

They say Shakespeare and Sir Frances Bacon are the same person. - Ranman, Apr 30, 2012
