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. Al morir, dejó atrás tres hijos adultos tan malcriados que sólo pensaban en qué heredarían.**
- Upon dying, she left behind three spoiled adult children who only thought of what they would inherit.*
** 2. Ese día, Eduardo lo confrontó y quería saber si heredaría su fortuna. Su padre dijo que no, que lamentaba la situación pero que Enrique había dedicado su vida entera al negocio y que era él quien lo merecía.**
- That day, Eduardo confronted him, wanting to know whether he'd inherit his fortune. His father said no, that he regrettted the situation but that Enrique had dedicated his entire life to the business and was the one who deserved it.*
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!!

Primogenitura , fue la costumbre y la ley que permite el primer varón
nacido a heredar todo .
Primogeniture, was the custom and the law , that permitted the first born male
to inherit everything.
Primogeniture is the right, by law or custom, of the firstborn son to inherit the entire estate, to the exclusion of younger siblings (compare to ultimogeniture). Historically, the term implied male primogeniture, to the exclusion of females. In the absence of children, inheritance passed to collateral relatives, in order of seniority of their lines of descent. The eligible descendants of deceased elder siblings take precedence over living younger siblings, such that inheritance is settled in the manner of a depth-first search.
