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 and Franco 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.

Hola Ranman. I heard on the news today that a baker may go to jail for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. It's a conundrum. - 0095ca4c, Jun 8, 2013

To govern openly is to govern well. Unfortunately, it seems that this is impossible in our world.

@sylyon, Are you offering the sentence as another way of expressing myself , or are you wanting me to change my sentence? Either way I thank you . - ray76, Jun 7, 2013
Thanks Pam, and Annie, but when I die Annie there may be a collective sigh of sheer relief and gratitude that I have at long last departed. - ray76, Jun 7, 2013
@ray76, In your sentence you need to change "cuando hablando abiertamente" you can either change it to my suggestion, or you can replace it with "cuando habla abiertamente". :-) - 00e46f15, Jun 7, 2013
@sylyon, I have changed it all as you suggested , it is so much better , and covers the English meaning more fully and clearly. Thanks mate , appreciated greatly. - ray76, Jun 8, 2013

It's unlikely that the thief will openly share how the house was broken into.

Es improbable que el ladrón cuente abiertamente como se entró en la casa.

Botella abierta, botella muerta.

For those few here that drink wine, no further explanation is necessary, and as for the rest, let them drink Coca cola.

Aquí en Inglaterra, hoy en día, hablamos abiertamente de la sexualidad, de nuestras relaciónes mas íntimas, nuestras operaciónes y los partos de nuestros bebés y otras cosas que , en las viejas épocas han sido tabú, pero no hablamos nunca de la muerte o de la religión.

Nowadays, here in England, we speak frankly about sexuality, about our most intimate relationships, our operations and the births of our babies and other things, which, in earlier days, were taboo. However, we never speak about death or religion.

Yo creo que es mejor expresarte abiertamente, pero con respeto, que guardar tus sentimientos hasta que estalles.

I think it is better to express your feelings openly but with respect, than to keep them in until you explode.

Your sentence is correct but I would use "Reprimir" instead of "Guardar" - Anormal, Jun 7, 2013
It's a difficult thing to do, but much better for your health. - 0095ca4c, Jun 8, 2013
