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. Quiero comprar la blusa roja, específicamente la que no tiene mangas.**
- I want to buy the red blouse, specifically the one with no sleeves.*
** 2. Tal vez lo que le faltaba era un hermano que lo ayudara a mejorar sus relaciones familiares, específicamente su relación con su padre.**
- Maybe what was missing was a brother who'd help him better his family relationships, specifically his relationship with his father.*
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!!
