adjective ( necessary )

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. Note: Please try to help out with the Spanish sentences until I get someone to be our corrector. Thank you for your patience. If you are interested, please send me a PM.

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. ¿Tú crees que sea necesario tener un grado universitario para conseguir un buen trabajo?

Do you think it's necessary to have a university degree in order to get a good job?

2. Ella hizo lo necesario para salvar su matrimonio.

She did what was necessary to save her marriage.

There are some people in this world for whom it is necessary that the void in their souls be filled with drugs; or, sometimes, with the blood of the innocent.

Many things, which really are necessary in life, are not possible to buy: good family, friends, love, understanding, people willing to help, sense of humour, clean water, good health and many, many others.

Muchas cosas, que realmente son necasarias en la vida, no se pueden comprar: buena familia, amigos, amor, entendiemiento, la gente dispuesta a ayudar, sentido del humor, agua limpia, salud buena y muchas, muchas otras.

I agree with inkubzz...sharing the poverty begets more poverty; sharing the wealth would stamp out poverty. - 0095ca4c, Aug 25, 2012
short note: I wasn't writing about sharing poverty. Sharing wealth is in the end equal to sharing poverty. Eventually there could be an equilibrium but who is willing to put down wealth? - Aranjuez12, Aug 25, 2012
