fluir ( floo-eer' )

verb ( to flow )

Sylyon1976 will correct the Spanish sentences as her time permits. 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.

Katy, I love your sentences but I can tell you've yet to deal with the Alzheimered parents.. - annierats, Apr 4, 2014
Annie, there is nothing like the exhaustion and pain of watching someone with Alzheimers, especially if you are the main caregiver. Hi all. I'm sure this is not 'the' key, but it's a good one nonetheless. - katydew, Apr 4, 2014

At the laboratory we use the technique of flow cytometry. It wouldn't be easy to explain it to you but it wouldn't be impossible either.
