traer ( trah'- ehr )

verb ( to bring, to carry; to wear )

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.

Un día, una chica inglésa que se quedaba en la casa de su tía española en Madrid, decidió a practicar su español, por eso fue a un restauarante cercano para tomar una bebida. Dijo al camarero: << Por favor, señor, ¿podría traerme algo ......cómo se dice, 'hot' ? >> Este camarero joven querría demostrar su sentido del humor, así que ¡volvió cinco minutos más tarde acompañado por el jovencito lo más guapo que ella no había nunca visto!

Corrijan mi espanol, por favor smile

One day, an English girl, who was staying with her Spanish aunt in Madrid, decided to practise her Spanish, so she went to a nearby restaurant to have a drink. She said to the waiter, "Please sir, could you bring me something, how do you say in Spanish, “hot“? This young waiter was wanting to demonstrate his sense of humour, so he returned five minutes later accompanied by the most attractive young man she had ever seen!
