La Palabra del Día: "seguramente"
seguramente (seh-goo'-rah-mehn-teh)
adverb ( probably, surely )
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: I am happy to announce that we now have an official corrector for our palabra del dia! Francobollo has graciously offered his services. Please correct your posts according to his 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. Tengo una llamada perdida de Verónica, seguramente me está llamando para pedirme más dinero pero no se lo voy a dar.
I have a missed call from Verónica, she's probably calling me to ask for more money, but I won't give it to her.
2. Seguramente habrá música en la fiesta, ¿no?
Surely there'll be music at the party, no?
