La Palabra del Día: "obviamente"
obviamente ( ohb-vee-ah-mehn'-teh )
adverb ( obviously )
We are looking for an official corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM.
Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español. Si usted está interesado, por favor envíeme un PM.
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:
1. Francisco obviamente estaba muy triste al saber que lo habían despedido.
Francisco was obviously very sad when he learned that he had been fired.
2. Obviamente Eduardo estaba muy triste al Claudia escoger a Ramón, pero él entendió que ya tuvo su oportunidad con ella.
Obviously Eduardo was very sad that Claudia chose Ramón, but he understood that he already had his chance with her.
Notes
The 2nd example sentence is part of our Word of the Day "novela" series. Check it out from the beginning on February 1 and stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!
Until we have an official Spanish corrector, please help with any suggestions to the Spanish sentences as you are able. It is very much appreciated. Thank you all for being here at SD and for participating in La Palabra Del Dia!

Don't you have to add the indirect object pronoun when you use a prepositional phrase as an indirect object? So "2. Obviamente Eduardo estaba muy triste al Claudia escoger a Ramón, pero él entendió que ya tuvo su oportunidad con ella". should end, "ya le tuvo su oportunidad con ella".
