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.

Examples:

** 1. Cuando la novia huyó de su boda, todos quedaron sorprendidos. El pobre novio no pudo entender algo tan incomprensible.**

  • When the bride ran away from her wedding, everyone was surprised. The poor groom couldn't understand something so incomprehensible.*

** 2. Dentro de la carta Enrique leyó una cosa incomprensible. Su padre reveló que Enrique tenía un hermano gemelo que había sido adoptado por otra familia.**

  • In the letter, Enrique read something incomprehensible. His father revealed that Enrique had a twin brother who was adopted by another family.*

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!!

Cuando geólogos dicen de el tiempo geológico, lo me encuentro casi incomprensible. Es imposible imaginarse epócas tan inmenso.

When geologists talk about geological time, I find it almost incomprehensible. It is impossible to imagine such enormous periods of time.

La mayoría de chistes en videojuegos son incomprensibles para la gente que no juega. Por ejemplo: cuántos desarrolladores se necesitan para cambiar una bombilla? Ninguno, está trabajando según lo previsto.

To non-gamers most gamer jokes are incomprehensible. For example: How many devs does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, it's working as intended.
