adverb ( sufficiently, enough )

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. El colchón inflable que me dieron en casa de mis amigos no era suficientemente cómodo, así que terminé durmiendo en el sofa.

The air mattress that my friends gave me at their house wasn't comfortable enough, so I ended up sleeping on the couch.

2. Aunque ha subido un poco la temperatura, no está suficientemente caliente como para que se derrita el hielo en la acera.

Although the temperature has gone up a bit, it's not sufficiently warm for the ice on the sidewalks to melt.

Hi Susy. Thank you. I hope you are enjoying it! I'm sorry amiga, I don't understand what is 'lo'? What does it mean? - 007c5fc1, Mar 1, 2014
"Lo" means "it" : Entonces "lo" se refiere al nivel de representación en la comunidad de las muejres o a la manera en como han sido representadas. - Si quieres te mando un email para explicarte, porque es difícil hacerlo en 3 renglones. - 00e46f15, Mar 1, 2014
I think you would do a good job, Margherite! - rac1, Mar 1, 2014
Changing the subject, I have a question: Can you tell me what does it mean when somebody says "I've got a busted heart"? Does it mean broken heart? Se oye como que explotó o se reventó el corazón. Estaba pensando que qué gráfico! jaja Cuando puedas dime. - 00e46f15, Mar 1, 2014
Yes, you have it exactly right...broken heart. - 007c5fc1, Mar 1, 2014
Ok...regarding 'it' ...entiendo ahora. I just have to figure out why it has to be included there. Thanks Susy! - 007c5fc1, Mar 1, 2014
May I interject here ? Busted is not a word that I would ever use it is so wrong , it is colloquial and is OK to use on a machine but not a heart , it is probably an "Americanism " and shows the difference between our cultures. - ray76, Mar 2, 2014
Not necessarily bad or wrong, just different . - ray76, Mar 2, 2014
Forgive me for butting in Maggy May, am I now " busted " ? - ray76, Mar 2, 2014
@ray...I would not use that word either, bus Susy asked what if meant if someone says "I've got a busted heart". I don't think she was saying it, I think it was something she read and she wanted to know the meaning. - 007c5fc1, Mar 2, 2014
and you know you can interject at anytime you feel a need to correct bad grammar. That is what this site is all about. - 007c5fc1, Mar 2, 2014
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJvL9rHCpys - 00e46f15, Mar 2, 2014
A esto me refería. Entonces no "busted heart"? I feel like I have a busted heart! I'm desperate for grace! - 00e46f15, Mar 2, 2014

Los niños les encanta hacer cosquillas unos a otros hasta han tenido suficiente. Por lo general, lanzan un grito, "me doy por vencido" para conseguir el otro chico parar.

Edit: A los niños les encanta hacerse cosquillas entre ellos hasta que ya no aguantan. Casi siempre gritan "me doy" cuando quieren que el otro niño pare de hacerles cosquillas.

Kids love to tickle one another until they have had enough. They usually cry out, "uncle" to get the other kid to stop.
