lujoso ( loo-hoh'-soh )

adjective ( luxurious )

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.

Sinmeta will be correcting the Spanish sentences as his time permits. We still need more help with this very important task. Please correct your sentences 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.

Lo que se considera lujuso depende mucho de la perspectiva. Después de viver una semana en una tienda, la cama no se siente tan dura. What is considered luxurious depends a lot on perspective. After a week of living in a tent, one's bed doesn't feel as hard.

So true. I remember that feeling from my time in the Army many years ago, and again now, camping at racetracks, way too often. - rogspax, Mar 13, 2013

Cuidado con ¨lujurioso¨. Tiene un sentido muy distinto del de ¨lujoso¨. Lujurioso se traduce de ¨lusty¨o ´lecherous¨en inglés. - sinmeta, Mar 13, 2013
Whoops I did that sin querer. - BigMike, Mar 13, 2013

Quizás no es tan lujoso como la de Ranman, pero aquí, la vista de mi cuarto en México la semana pasada. Fue una hacienda muy bonita, que se llama Hacienda Barbabosa en Toluca.

Perhaps it isn´t as luxurious as Ranman´s, but here´s the view from my room in Mexico last week. It was a pretty community called Barbabosa in Toluca.

Hacienda Barbabosa

Hace siglos los miembros de la realeza vivieron en condiciones muy lujosas, pero sus súbditos apenas pudieron sobrevivir. Eventualmente, expresaron sus sentimientos sobre eso en su manera muy sútil.

Centuries ago, the members of the royalty lived in very luxurious conditions, but their subjects barely could survive. Eventually, they expressed their sentiments on that in their very subtle way.

Is the use of mismo okay here? Asking because I looked at mismo/igual topics and the whole thing is a bit confusing :) - Manity, Mar 13, 2013
I think either one could be used here. - sinmeta, Mar 13, 2013
