aparte ( ah-pahr'- teh )

adverb ( apart, aside, to one side, separately )

We are looking for someone to correct the Spanish sentences. Contact me if you are interested in helping others to learn Spanish. Please help each other with corrections as you are able. 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!

Tengo un poco de consejo para los hombres de este sitio: Si una chica te mira a los ojos, sostenle la mirada y no te apartes la mirada. Este es más importante que las palabras.

I have some advice for the men on this site: If a girl looks you in the eyes, hold her glance eyes and don't look away. This is more important than words.

" hold her glance and don't look away " It has always been a thing with me Annie that people in general do not look you in the eyes enough , and yes you are right about holding a glance with a girl , so much can be conveyed with the eyes more than words - ray76, Jan 24, 2014
This can be culturally disrespectful in some cultures. But it sure makes me feel better when I can see someone's eyes. - katydew, Jan 24, 2014
can you hold a glance? I thought what made a glance a glance was that it wasn't held jeje - Kiwi-Girl, Jan 27, 2014
I agree , Kiwi, I struggled manfully, or womanfully, with the translation: Hold her eye? - annierats, Jan 31, 2014

Well there's my attempt. Yours does not look bad to me. I switched from soy alérgico to - dennywells, Jan 25, 2014
tengo alergia because that puts the emphasis more on the allergy and less on you, which I think would fit better when the message is that the smoke is the problem, not you, ;) - dennywells, Jan 25, 2014
