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. Pon todas tus ideas juntas en un ensayo.

Put all your ideas together in your essay.

2. Tiene una casa junto al río.

He has a house close to the river.

Even if we are different we can walk together and help each other, my friend.

Incluso siendo distintos, podemos estar juntos y ayudarnos el uno al otro, mi amigo.

enter image description here

After losing his parents, the orangutan was so depressed that he refused to eat and did not respond well on the treatments. The vets were thinking he had no hope to survive. The dog was found lost in the vicinity of the zoo. They both met in the treatment room and became inseparable friends.

Después de perder a sus padres, el orangután estaba tan deprimido que se rehusaba comer y no respondía nada bien a los tratamientos. Los veterinarios pensaron que no había esperanza de que sobreviviera. El perro fue encontrado perdido en las inmediaciones del parque zoológico. Los ambos se conocieron en una la sala de tratamiento y se convirtieron en amigos inseparables.

Depending on the partner, I'm all for that! - Noetol, Jun 2, 2012
Podrías omitir el artículo "el", algo así: "¡Ahorra agua!" pero ya que eso se podría interpretar como una orden (tú ahorra agua), puedes decir "¡Eso ahorra agua!". Sin embargo, tu oración está bien. =) - -cae-, Jun 2, 2012

Muchas gracias, caefuego! I think you are showing that age can be interrpreted from birth and once we talk about birth, we don't have to repeat "nacido" again? - bandit51jd, Jun 2, 2012
Muchas gracias, a mis amigas! - bandit51jd, Jun 2, 2012
Yes. I said "nacido" talking about the age of the fawn, because of that I didn't need to say "nacido" again because it was implied and it would had sounded "redundant" ro repeat "nacido", so I omitted it. - -cae-, Jun 2, 2012

I Like to live close to(next to )the beach ,because I love water and whenever I swim I like looking like a fish.

Me gusta vivir cerca de la playa, porque me encanta el agua y cada vez que nado me gusta parecerme a un pez.

Please explain to me when I use "beside". - luisssito, Jun 2, 2012
Luis, " beside" is similar to the Spanish " al lado de" in its use. " Next to". Another use is "other than". - Noetol, Jun 2, 2012
Where's "junto"? :D - inkubzz, Jun 2, 2012
Me encanta el agua también! - rac1, Jun 2, 2012
