totalmente ( toh-tahl-men'-teh )

adverb ( totally, completely )

Francobollo is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to his suggestions. 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. 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. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

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:

They came crossing the seven seas
From totally different cultures and places.
In here, they all live, a life of ease
Peoples of various colors and races.

The Shi'a from Persia and Hindus from India
The peoples of Russia and Communist China
Old enemies or friends, in here they come across
And together, they enjoy the beauty of this desert rose. enter image description here Deira Dubai / Downtown Dubai


Son de las culturas totalmente diferentes
Vinieron aquí desde Europa, África y Asia.
Hablan idiomas totalmente diferentes
Pero aquí viven unidos, con gran tolerancia.

Los chiítas de Persia y los hindúes de la India
Las rubias de Rusia y la gente de la China
Sean enemigos o amigos, aquí se encuentran
Y en esta ciudad bonita, se abrazan y disfrutan.
