(noun) balance

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.

How to post a picture

Examples:

** 1. Muchas personas no logran encontrar el equilibrio entre el trabajo y sus vidas personales.**

  • Many people cannot find a balance between their jobs and their personal lives.*

** 2. Después de 15 años trabajando con su padre, Enrique había logrado un cierto equilibrio en su vida. Tenía una esposa que amaba, dos hijos, en fin, una buena vida.**

  • After 15 years of working with his father, Enrique had achieved a certain balance. He had a wife he loved, two children, in short, a good life.*

Its back! The 2nd example sentence is part of our Word of the Day "novela" series. Stay tuned tomorrow for the next chapter!

Thanks to everyone that has been helping to correct in the palabra del día. I know it is a time-consuming job and we all are very appreciative of your work and dedication to us and to SD!!

I don't know if it's the four paws or something else but cats' balance has always been much better than that of humans.

No sé si la razón es las cuatro patas o una otra cosa, pero el equilibrio de gatos siempre ha sido muy mejor que el del hombre.

Durante mis clases de equitación mi equilibrio es malo porque mis músculos abdominales y los músculos de la espalda son débiles. ¡Inclinándose hacia adelante no es bueno!

During my horse riding lessons my balance is poor because my stomach muscles and back muscles are weak. Leaning forward is not good!

It is hard to believe, but these stones are balanced by an artist who has a great sense of balance. He doesn't use any glue or pins at all.
