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.

Examples:

1. Tomarme un café tamaño "venti" de Starbucks forma parte de mi rutina diaria.

Drinking a "venti" coffee from Starbucks is part of my daily routine.

2. Es verdad que me gusta salir a correr, pero no es una cosa diaria, ni mucho menos.

It's true that I like to go running, but it's hardly an everyday thing, far from it.

¡La vida puede ser tan diaria! Yo hago cambios diarios en mi rutina para que mi vida no sea tan monótona.

Life can be so daily! I make daily changes in my routine, so my life doesn't become monotonous.

Ray's correction: Life can be so mundane! I make daily changes in my routine, so my life doesn't become monotonous.

So I changed the Spanish version to:

íLa vida puede ser tan cotidiana! Yo hago cambios diarios en mi rutina para que mi vida no sea tan monótona.

Gracias, Ray! ?

Well, I'm originally a northern girl (Mexico), but now I'm a southern girl (Texas), so if I get your permission, I would like to leave it as it is, since it was a quote. What do you think? - 00e46f15, Jan 31, 2014
I'm a southern girl that doesn't use " y'all" . I might not qualify as a southern girl... I use "you" for plural, too. Lol I'm in the minority. - 00e46f15, Jan 31, 2014
Coloquialismos son recursos literarios. Mi voto es dejarlo como está :) - dennywells, Jan 31, 2014
One more comment- It is quite possible and totally correct that if in your part of the English speaking world you use that expression -"Life can be so daily" then it is OK , but there are better ways of conveying that idea. - ray76, Jan 31, 2014
Ray, I've never heard anybody in my "English world" said that before. I just remembered that phrase from the book because it made an impact on me. So, I will change it to your suggestion. Thank you. - 00e46f15, Jan 31, 2014

It is not the big moments in life that define a person but the small daily actions of that person.

No son es los grandes momentos grandes en la vida los que definen a una persona, sino pero las pequeñas acciones diarias de esa persona.
