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. Este solicitante reúne todas las condiciones necesarias.

This applicant meets all the requirements.

2. Toda mi familia se reunió en la playa este verano pasado.

My whole family got together at the beach last summer.

¿Y cómo es la comida mexicana? Sólo he probado tacos. - comunacho, May 16, 2012
Gracias, caefuego. - mstivers, May 18, 2012
Comunacho... ¿en serio? Como probablemente sabes, la comida mexicana es muy popular en los EEUU, en todos lados. No es una cocina alta, pero es buena. Uno de mis favoritos is mole poblano, una salsa con chocolate. Es un poco caliente y un poco dulce. - mstivers, May 18, 2012
Se me hace agua la boca. A mí también me gusta la comida mexicana. =P - -cae-, May 18, 2012

Me hace un poco de gracia esta idea de "reunirse", porque yo uso esa palabra como eufemismo en lugar de decir "cita". Digo "voy a una reunión". - -cae-, May 16, 2012
Caefuego, comprendo. Entonces tengo cambiar mi oración: Voy a escribir esto: A chico, le gusta ir a una reunión, pero a su novia, no le gusta este idea. Por eso tuve que llevarle allí. ejjjejje. Ahora es correcto, Cae, amigo?? ;))) - iana01, May 17, 2012
Pienso que tu oración estaba bien como la escribiste, con las correcciones posteriores. No es necesario que la cambies de acuerdo a tu último comentario. - -cae-, May 18, 2012
lol. Muchísimas gracias, Cae. :)) - iana01, May 18, 2012
