sano ( sah'-noh )

adjective ( healthy, wholesome )

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.

La mente de mi madre ha perdido la razón y ahora vive en alguna época del pasado . Ella está confundida pero su cuerpo sigue siendo muy sano para su edad.

My mother has lost her mind and she now lives in some bygone age. She is confused but her body is still very healthy for her age.

Para llevar una vida sana, es muy importante hacer ejercicio aeróbico con regularidad, aunque esto hace que algunos se nos sintamos como si fuéramos a morir allí y en ese mismo momento.

In order to lead a healthy life, it is very important to exercise aerobically regularly, even though it makes some of us feel as if we were going to die right then and there.

Easier to do with some music. - rac1, Apr 17, 2014

There are many people who tell you to eat healthy and exercise. But what is healthy today causes cancer tomorrow.

Hay mucha gente que te dice que comas sano y que hagas ejercicio. Hay mucha gente quien te dice comer sano y hacer exercisio. Pero lo que es sano hoy causa cáncer mañana.
