médico ( meh'-dee-koh )

noun ( doctor )

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.

Hi Susy - That is not the exact meaning for "Put your clothes back on" I can' t work out what it would be though. - ian-hill, Feb 22, 2014
That's too funny! - rac1, Feb 22, 2014
Póngase la ropa otra vez, or póngase la ropa de nuevo, or "vístase de nuevo'... it just sounded better without the "de nuevo", but if you want to be word by word, then that's what it is. :) - 00e46f15, Feb 22, 2014
Gracias a todos. - jrschenk, Feb 22, 2014
Susy - the "back on" indicates either that the clothes were taken off very recently or specifically because the "doctor" was there or for the "doctor". :) - ian-hill, Feb 22, 2014
Si alguien te dice "vístete de nuevo" es porque presenciaron que te quitaste la ropa la primera vez. Cómo sabe el pintor que la señorita no estaba sin ropa desde el principio? -- Esta conversación es algo incómoda... jajaja :S Necesito más contexto jajaja - 00e46f15, Feb 22, 2014
Context: In english, it is clear that she mistook him for the doctor, and disrobed. He is encouraging her to return to her previous condition of being dressed, using the familiar phrase "put your clothes back on." - jrschenk, Feb 23, 2014
Context2: What we want to say here is "return to the state or condition of being dressed" but in a natural spanish language sort of way. I hope this helps. - jrschenk, Feb 23, 2014
jrschenk: Simplemente "Vuélvase a vestir, señorita", o "Póngase de nuevo su ropa, señorita."-- - 00e46f15, Feb 23, 2014
sylyon1976 y ian-hill, escuché esta historia hace muchos años. No tenía idea de lo difícil que sería para comunicarse en español. Agradezco a los dos. - jrschenk, Feb 23, 2014

¿Cómo se puede decidir cuál persona es el médico en un grupo de personas? las deja escribir algo. El médico verdadero no puede escribir así puedes leerlo. Tienen clases especiales para desarollar esa habilidad

How can you decide which person is the doctor in a group of persons/people? Let them write something. The real doctor can't write so you can read it. They have special classes for developing that skill.

Becoming a doctor is not easy at all. It requires too much discipline and responsability. There are three cornerstones of a successful career in medicine:

A love for learning in general.

A true intellectual curiosity about medicine in particular.

A strong desire to help others.

Para llegar a ser médico no es nada fácil, requiere mucha disciplina y responsabilidad.

Amor por aprender todo.

I don't like to go to the doctor at all. As soon as I step into the doctor's office I get nervous.

A mi no me gusta ir para nada al médico. Al momento que entro al consultorio del doctor me pongo nerviosa.

Once I went in with a knee that had been troddenon by agalloping horse. The doctor did no examination, just said: You appear to be able to stand onit. Come back in 6 months if it doesn't get better. - annierats, Feb 22, 2014
