ayuda ( ah-yoo'-dah )

noun ( help, aid )

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a pm. Susy is unable to continue with this task as she has other obligations that require her attention. In the meantime, please help one another out as you are able.

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.

Muchas personas ricas y famosas están infelices. No importa cuántos artículos lujosos que compran, sus vidas no las satisfacen. Sus matrimonios fracasan, beben demasiado. Pero hay algunas personas ricas que utilizan su dinero para dar ayuda a las otras, y creo que estas personas se sienten mucho más felices y utiles.

Many rich and famous people are unhappy. No matter how many luxury goods they buy, their lives do not satisfy them. Their marriages fail, they drink too much. But there are other rich people who use their money to give help to others, and I think that these people feel happier and more useful.
