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.

f the verb "antiborrar" means to stuff themselves with, I probably don't need "con"? - bandit51jd, Apr 6, 2013
Do you mean ' stuffed' birds then? - annierats, Apr 6, 2013
In wordreference, it says, atiborrar verbo transitivo to pack, stuff [de, with]. I'm trying to determine if "con" is replaced by "de" in this instance. - bandit51jd, Apr 7, 2013

Yo interpreto las palabras integrante e integral de forma distinta en español. Ej. Los integrantes del equipo de natación son parte integral de los juegos olímpicos.

No pretendo ser purista. Eso sólo mi elección personal. Para mí, integral tiene un sentido más cercano a esencial, primordial, fundamental.


I interpret the words integrante and integral in Spanish slightly differently. Example: The swimming team members (or integrantes in Spanish) are an integral part of the Olympic games.

This is not cast in stone. It's just my personal preference. To me integral in Spanish has a closer meaning to fundamental, essential.
