Nine letter word challenge - 14

Nine letter word challenge - 14

6
votes

Nine letter word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

The idea is to make words of 3 or more of the given letters.

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

L E C

B E A

R A N

The letter highlighted must be used. E

Find an English or Spanish word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

Example:

It takes more than one bean to make a cup of coffee.

Se necesita más que un grano para hacer una taza de café.

For my nine letter word the poster will get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

In one of my dictionaries it is spelt rebalance but in the other re-balance. - ian-hill, Sep 21, 2013
Yes that is the word - ian-hill, Sep 21, 2013
Thank you. My doubt was mostly that: how to write it and if it counts as one word. All merit goes to ray76. :) - RelaxingCup, Sep 21, 2013

Yes, and the people in both look a lot fitter than I. I was actually going for balacear and had posted it up, but then realized it had one too many ¨A¨s. I was quite disappointed, because I´d thought myself quite brilliant. Then I realized I was wrong. - rogspax, Sep 15, 2013

I've been squeezing my brain trying to find a 9 letter word. It may not be "the one" but here is: abrácenle.
Abracen is the imperative form of verb abrazar (to hug) for ustedes (you formal). le means to him using leísmo. It may also be abrácenlo.

Leísmo is a dialectal variation in the Spanish language that occurs largely in Spain. And other Spanish speaking countries I think.

  • Cuando marque el gol, vayan todos y abrácenle. - When he scores the goal, you all go and give him a hug.

[Could you give us a clue hint about the 9 letter word? English? Spanish?]
