la expulsión ( ex-pool-see-ohn' )

noun ( expulsion, ejection )

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.

2.nd examole, over here we say' the criminal will be deported'. - annierats, Jan 10, 2013
or, a mandatory expulsion orde will be issuedr, I think, anyway. - annierats, Jan 10, 2013
"expulsion" sounds wrong to me in this context also - it implies being thrown out rather than extradited under arrest - Ansionnach, Jan 10, 2013
