vestido ( veh-stee'-doh )

adjective ( dressed )

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.

Examples:

1. ¡Nos tenemos que ir en diez minutos y todavía no estás vestido! ¡Date prisa!

We have to leave in ten minutes and you still aren't dressed! Hurry up!

2. No debes ir a una boda vestida de blanca. Ese color está reservado para la novia.

You shouldn't go to a wedding dressed in white. That color is reserved for the bride.

Enjoy Your Weekend

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.

Mark Twain,

Los vestido hace al hombre. Gente desnuda tiene poca o ninguna influencia en la sociedad

They bride's family are usually responsible for all of that. - rac1, Jul 6, 2014
I agree , the groom is totally irrelevant , superfluous , and merely an onlooker to his own fate. - ray76, Jul 6, 2014
This was a Melbourne wedding incidentally. - ray76, Jul 6, 2014

It is said that all publicity is good publicity, but I can't help thinking that it must be embarrassing to make the worst-dressed list.

Se dice que toda publicidad es buena publicidad, pero no puedo dejar de pensar que debe ser embarazoso para aparecer en la lista de las peor vestidas.
