audaz ( ow-dahs' )

adjective ( audacious, bold )

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.

En 1859, el audaz equilibrista y acróbata Charles Blondin cruzó las cataratas del Niágara por una cuerda floja. You must use "cruzar por" "cruzar en" is used when you talk about a vehiicle: "Cruzar por un puente en moto" - caiser, Oct 17, 2013
Thanks Caiser. :) - rac1, Oct 17, 2013

When I was a little boy I didn't know the difference between bold and bald. I always thought it was "bald and the beautiful"

Cuando era chico no sabía la differencia entre audaz y calvo. Siempre pensaba que era "calvo y la belleza"

Cuando yo era chico no sabía la diferencia entre "audaz" y "calvo". Siempre pensé que era "El calvo y la belleza"

It depends on how it affects the other riders, and if anyone is injured, and since it´s a judgement call, also the rider making the move´s past history. - rogspax, Oct 16, 2013

Las sufragistas eran mujeres increiblemente audaces ya que se alzaron contra un peligroso mundo masculino y sus tradicionales fuerzas femeninas pero al final obtuvieron el derecho al sufragio.

The suffragettes were incredibly bold women since they stood up against a dangerous masculine world and it’s traditional female forces but in the end they gained the right to vote.
