besar ( beh-sahr' )

verb ( to kiss )

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.

Examples:

1. No estoy diciendo que las parejas no se besen. Sólo estoy diciendo que no lo hagan en público.

I'm not saying couples shouldn't kiss. I'm just saying they shouldn't do it in public.

2. Mi abuela siempre nos pedía que la besáramos en la mejilla.

My grandmother always asked us to kiss her on the cheek.

3. ¡Es mejor besar a un leproso que estrecharle la mano a un imbécil!

It is better to kiss a leper than to shake hands with an idiot!

Dame un beso para construir un sueño en.

para que podamos soñar con.

Give me a kiss to build a dream on

So we can dream

I changed the sentence because it has been pointed out to me that in the US it has

a double meaning , I did not know that , because we do not use it that way here .

I apologise if I offended anyone

Cuando me casé, el sacerdote nunca le dijo a mi ahora esposo: "Puede besar a la novia". Siempre me he preguntado el porqué.

The day of our wedding, the priest never said "You may kiss the bride" to my husband. I have always wondered why.

enter image description here

Así nos quedamos con estas caras mi esposo y yo, como esperando esas palabras y nunca llegaron... Nos dimos la media vuelta y a empezar a caminar ja ja ja

A mi no me gusta besar porque no me encanta la saliva de otra gente. Lo siento.

I don't like kissing because I don't like other people's spit. Sorry.

Hace mucho tiempo me besó mi amante en una noche de luna en una playa con el sonido de las olas cerca de nosotros. Me abandonó con el corazón roto varias semanas después.

Many years ago my lover kissed me on a moonlit night on a beach with the sound of waves near us. He abandoned me with a broken heart several weeks later.

I was often tempted to write, as a joke, in a profile for an online dating service, that one of my favourite hobbies is that I love (or enjoy) kissing girls! I wonder what kind of response I would get?! Hahaha

Algunos dicen que los ojos son el espejo de la alma, pero es cuando se besan que descubren la profundidad de su amor.

Some say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, but it's when they kiss that they discover the depth of their love.
