almorzar ( ahl-mohr-sahr' )

verb ( to have lunch )

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.

Nunca me ha gustado cocinar los gran almuerzos para invitados porque tarda todo el día cocinando, comiendo y limpiando después de almorzar.

I've never liked cooking big lunches for guests because it takes up the whole day between cooking, eating and cleaning up after having lunched.

cuando es la hora del almuerzo, mi estómago se pone agitado - 00b055e0, Jul 16, 2014
o simplemente puedes decir " al mediodía mi estómago se pone agitado " - 00b055e0, Jul 16, 2014
Agitado es palabra, Gracias. Cuando es la hora del almuerzo, mi estómago se pone agitado. - bubamaria, Jul 16, 2014
you don't even need to say mi estómago .. as in spanish the possessive adjectives like mi etc. aren't used for one's own body parts ... usualy .. but may be used if an emphasis is needed .. so in your sentence ,, el estómago is sufficient - 00b055e0, Jul 16, 2014
