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.

-These days many people are so immersed in Facebook that they are becoming detached from the reality.

---

Yes, YES! I have been suspicious of Facebook for years! I'm glad that there are people that share my opinion! - 00ffada9, May 9, 2014

As someone who does not have a Facebook account, I find it getting more and more difficult- although so far most of the things like restaurant menus are still available if one is not logged into an account. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

Sorry to disappoint you,HCA.I am not suspicious enough to get rid of FB! But I am definitely not an addict.The post is dedicated to my sister(a real fb maniac!!!)..Jejejejeje.. :) - nahian003, May 9, 2014

I love it!!! Hahahaha - rac1, May 9, 2014

I don't have a facebook acount either. I think it could lead to some very devastating situations. - 007c5fc1, May 9, 2014

Facebook is fine if you like to hear about other peoples' shopping experiences on an hourly basis.. - annierats, May 9, 2014

Hahaha, so true Annie. - rac1, May 9, 2014

so true, te doy toda la razón. - bibi221094, May 9, 2014

Como un marinero submarino, viajé por todo el mundo bajo (nuestro barco se sumergió en el océano).

As a submarine sailor, I traveled all under the world (our boat was immersed in the ocean).

I'm guessing you aren't claustrophobic? :) - rac1, May 9, 2014

I admire you, our son was in the Navy for some years, and that was tough enough, underwater must be much worse. - annierats, May 9, 2014

I miss the comradery of my shipmates, but not living in a sealed tube that goes "Ah-ooga! Ah-ooga! Dive! Dive!" - jrschenk, May 9, 2014

Indeed, it was the lack of personal space, or any space, which frightened me more than the vvarious arms carried.. - annierats, May 9, 2014

Go Navy. Although I have to admit I had a private stateroom across from the Captain on my ship- it was still odd having a sign discussing the depleted uranium on the other side of one of my walls. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

Hey, XO! (Executive Officer), yes, all that, and Annie, I had private space... a 4 inch deep pan for personal property under my mattress. ;) - jrschenk, May 9, 2014

Answer 4

I am immersed in dozens of English papers.

Me sumerjo en docenas de periódicos ingleses.

Gasp! - rac1, May 9, 2014

Perhpas less worrry than the Spanish papers? - 007c5fc1, May 9, 2014

Thankfully I haven't any Spanish papers. But I've got a research paper, several book analyses, a book report thing, and a dozen or so compositions. - Ghosthawk, May 9, 2014

Answer 5

Muchos creen que hay un avión de Malasia sumido en el Océano Índico y algunos creen que valdría una cantidad enorme de dinero entender por qué. Hay otros que creen que en vez de gastar dinero en buscarlo, sería mejor gastar el dinero en mejorar los sistemas de localización para todos los aviones del mundo.

A lot of people believe that there is a Malaysian plane submerged in the Indian Ocean, and many believe that it will be worth an enormous amount of money to understand why. There are others that believe that instead of spending money in searching for it, it would be better to spend the money in improving the tracking systems of all the world’s planes.

I think if they found it, it would help. Understanding what went wrong could aid in preventing simular occurrences. We can learn a great deal from our mistakes. - rac1, May 9, 2014

I tried to write my sentence so as to not take either side. For pure curiosity, not knowing and all the questions regarding whether it was intentional or a mechanical issue, it's like reading a mystery novel without getting to read the end. :) - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

I agree. :) - rac1, May 9, 2014

Regarding the money- I think I Read 160 million- there are many things in this world that are more in need of fixing. Regarding what happened, all theories sound outrageous, that is what makes it so interesting, nothing make sense. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

It's why we all want to know. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

Tu español es excelente. Espero que tu puedes ayudarme un día con esta lengua. - languagenut, May 9, 2014

Since you ask for my help- "Espero que puedas ayudarme"- no subject pronoun, it is obvious (otherwise it sounds like I am the only one who can help) and subjunctive as you are expressing a desire, not declaring a fact. :) - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

I try to help when I can, but only when asked, as I am not a native, and only with the acknowledgement that sometimes I am wrong. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

I also would say "algún día" but have no idea if that change is needed- it is easier to know one right way than which of many options is wrong. - bosquederoble, May 9, 2014

Answer 6

Estoy sentado en la hierba sumido en mis pensamientos sobre la palabra del día.

I am sitting on the grass lost in my thoughts about the word of the day.

Quizás un voto te animará. - jrschenk, May 9, 2014

You're lucky you have grass! - 007c5fc1, May 10, 2014

jeje - rac1, May 10, 2014

En la valle de Mactequac no se tiene evidencia dejados atrás de las fincas bonitas que estaban sumido completamente con el fin de construir una planta hidroelétrica.

And they call that progress. :( - rac1, May 9, 2014

Well, Margharite, would a nuclear plant be beter? Whichever way, you lose something. Sadly. - annierats, May 9, 2014

How unfortunate. - languagenut, May 9, 2014

@annie...I was not making a judgement on electricity or nuclear. I was simplay making a statement that some beautiful farms had been taken over by the government. Just using the word of the day, that's all. - 007c5fc1, May 9, 2014
