filosofía ( fee-loh-soh-fee'-ah )

noun ( philosophy )

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.

It is argued that many have skewed the words of Nietzsche, best known for his quote "God is dead", into an atheistic philosophy rather than an attack on the link between reason and divinity as originally intended.


Se sostiene que muchas han distorsionado distorcionado las palabras de Nietzche, mejor conocido por su cita "Dios está muerto", a una filosofía atea en vez de una crítica de a la conexión entre la razón y la divinidad como ha sido a propósito.


(I think this one will need lots of help with corrections, amigos! =])

Actually I think that it is great. I loved the sentence. The only two corrections that I would make are the word "distorsionado" it's written "distorcionado with a c" and this part - - Cacciator, Nov 6, 2013
"una crítica de la conexión entre la razón y la divinidad como ha sido a propósito". This part sounds a lttle strange in spanish. I would have written "... crítica a la conexión entre la razón...". - Cacciator, Nov 6, 2013

Algunas escuelas enseñan filosofía, incluso a los niños jovenes. Les ayuda aprender como pensar con claridad, como examinar varios cuestiones y que hay muchas diferentes pero válidas opiniones.

Some schools teach philosophy, even to young children. It helps them learn how to think clearly, how to consider various issues and that there are many different but valid opinions.

La siguiente cita de Eleanor Roosevelt describe a lo más, mi filosofía personal así, que tengamos que asumir la responsabilidad de nuestras propias decisiones y acciones.

The following quote by Eleanor Roosevelt describes best, my personal philosophy as well, that we have to assume responsibility for our own actions and decisions.


"La filosofía de alguien no se expresa a su mejor en las palabras. Sino se expresa en las elecciónes que (él) hace… y las elecciónes que hacemos son en último nuestra responsabilidad."
