oso ( oh'-soh )

noun ( bear )

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.

2nd example above is not good .. huntimg animals for fun is inhuman .. SD should not publish such examples (just a feedback) - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
Hunting is a human activity as old as humanity itself. It isn't something everyone needs to do or enjoy, but I can't agree with Jimmy. Bear being today's topic, and Alaska a frontier where hunting is common - it's not a bad example for a sentence. - Esteban_317, Jul 18, 2014
some thing being common doesnt necesarily make it right ,. killing some one for fun can never be right regardless of how common or old it might be .. it is inhuman and should be banned .. in my country it is banned allready - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
if I say racial discrimination is as old as humanity itself ,, that doesnt make it rigt and people are realising it now ... so it is high time that people also realise that being human doesn't make us God and that we have no right to take some one's life - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
I detest and completely condemn this activity known as hunting and I dont care how common it is in some other country .. if its killing inocent animals it ought to be banned - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
besides I am just saying that huntimg is a very controvertial topic and SD should refrain from using such things as it is an imternational site and not every one here is from Alaska (as you said that it is common there ) and can offend many people .. - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
Well I am going to disagree with you on the level of controversy of the sentence. - I suggest you pm me if you wish to discuss this further. I stand by original remarks. - Esteban_317, Jul 18, 2014
no need to discuss it further my friend .. I too stand by my original sentence .. take care .. regards .. - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
Please send me a pm on things like this, not here in the comment section. Thanks. - rac1, Jul 18, 2014
okie Annie .. I will shut up now just respecting you . but it gets difficult for me to hold my horses whenever I see something like this .. hehe .. sorry for the trouble .. regards - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
I have changed the sentence. Please refrain further commenting. You are welcome to send me a pm. - rac1, Jul 18, 2014
thanks Annie ... - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
and your new sentence looks amazing ... - 00b055e0, Jul 18, 2014
Hola my little cuddly bear , not you Jimmy the lip, Annie. - ray76, Jul 19, 2014

Did Paddington visit England? He always seemed to get into troubles that kids could relate to, and somehow he would be rescued from the troubles. Thanks for sharing his Peruvian roots - I wouldn't have guessed. - Esteban_317, Jul 18, 2014

Though often called the koala "bear," this cuddly animal is not a bear at all; it is a marsupial, or pouched mammal.arboreal herbivorous marsupial .Closest relative is the Wombat. - ray76, Jul 19, 2014
