New Game - Find a word TH _ _ /_

The idea is to find an English word of 4 or 5 letters that starts with TH.

TH_ _ /_ - (there are none in Spanish that I know of)

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Example:

She threw the plate at the wall in anger and at me an angry look.

Tiró la placa a la pared en la ira y a mí una mirada de enojo.

angry photo: Angry Angry.gif

When words fail...

Cuando las palabras fallan ...

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

She used to live in a flat (apartment) on the third floor until she moved away from the area.

Vivía en un apartamento en el tercer piso hasta que se cambió del barrio./o se mudó al otro lugar.

. hasta que se cambió/mud ó/fué a otro lugar." Barrio-- it depends where you live, but we use 'barrio' like meaning 'the hood', like a poor neighborhood. I guess it depends where you are from. Barrio in other countries is probably just an area. - sylyon1976 Jun 25, 2013

Muchas gracias, Sylyon smile Creo que en España se usan la palabra "barrio" que significa "area./neighbourhood."

Original sentence: Vivía en un apartamento en el tercer piso hasta (que?) el momento que se mudó del barrio. ..
