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.

Rac1 will return to continue ¨La Palabra del Día¨. I am substituting. She is caring for some family business over the next few weeks and does not have internet access.

Examples:

1. Practicando yoga se puede encontrar tranquilidad mental.

  • By practicing yoga one can find mental peace.*

2. La tranquilidad del bosque fue interrumpida por el ruido de la deforestación.

  • The calm of the forest was interrupted by the sound of deforestation.*

La tranquilidad de la isla virgen, Palawan.

The peacefulness of the unspoiled island, Palawan.

Everything can be changed within the blink of an eye. If your life is too difficult, try not to worry, you can get your tranquility back any time. Even thought some things need time to be overcome. Time can heal many things. Give time time.

Todo puede cambiar en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Si tu vida es demasiado difícil, trata de no preocuparte, tu tranquilidad puede volver en cualquier momento. Aunque algunas cosas necesitan tiempo para superarse. El tiempo puede curar muchas cosas. Da tiempo al tiempo.

"gritan tranquilidad". Iana, it would better to say "quisiera verlo" (it would be valid to say "quería" if it would have happend in the past), and the word "imagen" is femenine in Spanish. Saludos. - -cae-, Aug 10, 2012

If we wish to feel tranquility and joy in our heart, we should ask ourselves every evening, after a long day, what have we done for others, how have we helped them,who needed our help. Si queremos sentir tranquilidad y alegria en nuestro corazón, nos debemos preguntar cada noche , despues de un largo día que hemos hecho para otros, como hemos ayudado.
