noun ( hunt, hunting; game (animals) )

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.

Wolfie es un cazador de nacimiento y su presa natural es el ciervo. A él no le importa que la caza de ciervos con perros sea un delito.

Wolfie is a born hunter and his natural prey is deer. He couldn't care less that it's a criminal offense to hunt deer with dogs.

No entiendo nada porque a algunas personas les gusta la caza. A mí me parece que disfrutar matar es una enfermedad. Si es necesario para comida puedo entender, pero no para disfrute. Llevar una vida no es un deporte.

I never understand why some people like to hunt. To me it seems that to enjoy killing is an illness. If it is necessary for food I can understand, but not for enjoyment. To take a life is not a sport.

Acabo de regresar cazar casas para que podría casarme..

. . Just got back from house hunting so that I can get married..

(Note 1, not really)

(Note 2, yes, I realize there´s a good chance that houses are not hunted in Spanish and that it may be an incorrect idiom, but darn it, I wanted to use cazar y casar y casa all at once, and surely someone will set me straight, and I´ll learn something)
