Sylyon1976 is the official corrector for the Spanish sentences. Please correct your posts according to her 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.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game to help with using a new vocabulary word! Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Have you noticed how shy and timid I am , Annie you have not seen me when i really let it rip , I am an all or nothing guy , I believe in romantic love , but for keeps . - ray76, Sep 14, 2013
"No es bueno tener tus sentimientos escondidos/enterrados en el fondo de tu corazón. Si ésto que digo está equivocado, entonces yo estoy enterrado en un agujero." --- Hundido, most of the time involves water. In this case, it does not fit well. Sorry! - 00e46f15, Sep 14, 2013
@ sylyon, I am not surprised I thought it was going to be wrong, I have added a new sentence which should get me out of the hole I dug, thanks so much Suzy . - ray76, Sep 14, 2013

Mainer, for Spanish we say that our hearts shrunk, or that our soul fell to our feet when we refer to "my heart had sunk". "Mi corazón se encogió cuando mi viejo amigo murió", "Se me cayó el alma a los pies cuando mi viejo amigo murió." Saludos! - 00e46f15, Sep 14, 2013
¡Muchísimas gracias Sylyon! - Mainer, Sep 14, 2013

... mexicanos se apagaron/extinguieron/desparecieron." "Hundieron" sounds a little bit 'weird'. Usually we use "Hundieron" if it is related to water. Maybe hopes are made of water! LOL! - 00e46f15, Sep 14, 2013

A veces me siento como estoy hundido en un rincón, cuando mis emociones están hundido, puedo relacionar con Fernando Olvera, el cantante de Maná, mi banda favorita.

At times I feel I am depressed in a corner, when I am emotionally depressed I can relate with Fernando Olvera, the singer of Maná, my favorite band.

Hundido En Un Rincón

Hundido does infact mean deeply depressed, sad to see it missing on our dictionary and WordReference.com. Here's another definition. ¡Saludos!
