suelo ( swehl'-oh )

noun ( floor, ground )

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.

Thanks Susy. I think piso flotante might be a S. American usage for hardwood floors since that is where I learned the term. I'm open for correction. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=piso+flotantante+de+santiago+chile&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=piso+flotantan - katydew, May 7, 2014
Piso flotante es (lo que yo he escuchado) piso de madera que no ha sido clavado (nailed) o pegado (glued) al suelo (to the ground). -- Yo también aprendo de ti, Katy. - 00e46f15, May 7, 2014
What/ who on earth is Swiffler? - annierats, May 7, 2014
Swiffering changed my life. I always thought I was bad at cleaning, now I know I just needed a Swiffer. It probably would have saved my first marriage. - AcercaCielo, May 7, 2014
A Swiffer is a dustmop that swivels, is light, and has a throw away "cloth" that picks up dirt and dust like a magic magnet. - katydew, May 8, 2014
