Saratoga will be helping out with 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 Saratoga'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. Todo el mundo quiere ser famoso, pero pocos lo logran.

Everybody wants to be famous, but few actually make it.

2. No he comido nada en todo el día.

I haven't eaten anything all day.

She has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations and empires on her banks; she has seen it all, and she quiet flows...

En un mundo con más que tres mil idiomas, 195 o 196 países (el número depende de quien se pregunta), miles religiones, y casi siete billones de personas, toda la gente tiene que aprender a tolerar sus vecinos.

In a world with more than three thousand langauges, 195 or 196 countries (the number depends on who you ask), thousands of religions, and almost seven billion people, everyone has to learn to tolerate their neighbors.

Hola Maxwell, I like your train of thought Maxwell, but a lot of people don't and won't. You have my vote, but where is your photo? - 0095ca4c, Aug 17, 2012
I am horrible at thinking of a photo to add, and I don't like using other people's photos from the Internet...so I just tend not to add one. I hope that is acceptable. - Maxwell_R, Aug 17, 2012
Exactly, Maxwell. Great words!! (The photo is not necessary. Text on its own is the most important part of the post. And yours is really interesting. No need to post photo.;)) )Take care. :) - iana01, Aug 17, 2012
True, photos are just eye candy, and certainly not necessary, but iana's are always exquisite and nicely depict her thoughts. - 0095ca4c, Aug 18, 2012
Hola Maxwell. Sorry I'm late getting back. I didn't mean a lot of people don't and won't like your train of thought. I meant a lot of people don't and won't tolerate their neighbours. Just wanted to set the record straight in case anyone misunderstood me. - 0095ca4c, Aug 18, 2012
Hola, Margherite! :) - iana01, Aug 18, 2012
No worries Margherite. I understood what you meant. - Maxwell_R, Aug 18, 2012

Si todos los árboles eran el pan y queso.

y todo el mar era de tinta,

tendríamos un montón de cosas de comer ,

pero nada de nada de beber.

If all the trees were bread and cheese,

and all the sea was ink,

we would have lots of things to eat,

but nothing at all to drink.
