demás ( deh-mahs' )

adjective ( the rest, the others )

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.

1. Mientras los demás fueron a cenar, Carolina se quedó en casa con una migraña.

While the others went to dinner, Carolina stayed home with a migraine.

2. "Ya hemos hecho bastante por hoy", dijo mi jefe. "Lo demás lo podemos dejar para mañana".

"We've done enough for today," said my boss. "We can leave the rest for tomorrow."

You have that right. Stand up for what you believe. I love it. - 007c5fc1, Feb 16, 2014
Exactemente. - 00a50c57, Feb 17, 2014
Hola, Keirlen. I like your sentence because you used both "demás" and "de más" in it. I have a question. Does "de más" mean "too much" here? Does your sentence literally mean "And what the others think is too much?" - joygogo, Feb 17, 2014
Hi joygogo. That sentence is from a Spanish song which talks about homosexuality. So I translated it like it doesn't matter, I mean I don't mind their opinions, "están de más". People who talk about issues don't concern them hasn't got sense - Keirlen, Feb 17, 2014
"Hay demasiado azúcar" (Some sugar is ok, but here there are too much). "Aquí el azúcar está de más" (Sugar dosen't match here at all, for example in a diabetic club). - Keirlen, Feb 17, 2014
Es verdad...:) - rac1, Feb 17, 2014
Gracias, Keirlen. ^_^ - joygogo, Feb 18, 2014

Si quieres bajar de peso, una buena idea es sólo comer la mitad de lo que se pone enfrente de tú, y dejar lo demás.

If you want to lose weight, a good idea is to only eat half of what is put in front of you, and leave the rest.

La palabra "demás" puede ser un adjectivo o un pronombre. Creo que tres de las respuestas aquí han utilizadola como un adjectivo; lo demás han utilizadola como un pronombre, la miá también.

The word "demás" can be an adjective or a pronoun. I think that three of the answers here have used it as an adjective; the rest have used it as a pronoun, mine too.
