La Palabra Del Dia: "bonito"

Question

bonito ( boh-nee'-toh )

adjective ( pretty )

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.

Answer 1

Estoy bastante seguro que alguien debe haber creído que el bonito era bonito cuando lo denominó eso, aunque para mí hay muchos peces más bonitos.

I am pretty sure that someone must have thought that the bonito was pretty when they named it that, even though to me there are many fish that are prettier.

Now, that's a new one on me. jeje - rac1, Jul 2, 2014

In the U.S. "partial" is frequently used that way. It sounds fine to my ear. Budapest is lovely! I hope to visit someday. - AnnRon, Jul 2, 2014

I agree with Ray - "biased" is better than "partial" in this context. - ian-hill, Jul 3, 2014

Either "biased" or "partial" will work, amiga. Both are correct. "Biased" is more common, but I guess I'm partial to "partial" :D - Ghosthawk, Jul 4, 2014
