casado ( kah-sah'-doh )

adjective ( married )

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. Mis abuelos han estado casados por sesenta y dos años.

My grandparents have been married for sixty-two years.

2. Estar casado es uno de los retos más difíciles de la vida, pero también uno de los más gratificantes.

Being married is one of the most difficult challenges in life, but also one of the most rewarding.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, should be married.”

? Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (well almost) smile

"Es una verdad universalmente reconocida que un hombre soltero en posesión de una buena fortuna, debe estar casado."

It is not possible to be a little bit married.

No es posible ser un poco casado.

Se dice que si no te casas hay menos riesgo de separación, y este puede ser verdad. Hay muchas parejas que llevan años viviendo juntos de novios, pero después de tres meses como casados, quieren el divorcio.

It's said that if you don't marry there is less risk of separation and this might be true. There are many couples who have lived together for years as partners, but only three months after after getting married they want to get divorced.

Parece que la mayor de mi hijas (la que tiene treinta y un años) le ha dicho a su novio (de hace unos tres o cuatro años) que si no lleva un anillo para el fin del de año, lo dejará a él. Siempre había creído que la menor (que tiene veinticinco años) sería la primera casada en casarse, pero ella y su novio han decidido a esperar hasta que su situación financiera mejore. Sin embargo, no me sorprendería si la menor fuera la primera a pesar de todo esto.

It seems the oldest of my daughters (who is thirty-one years old) has told her boyfriend (of about 3 or 4 years) that if she is not wearing a ring by the end of the year, she is leaving him. I had always believed that the youngest (who is twenty-five years old) would be the first one married, but she and her boyfriend have decided to wait until their financial situation improves. None the less, it would not surprise me if the youngest were to be the first despite all of this.

Gracias por las correcciones. Quería decir que ha salido con su novio por unos tres o cuatro años- está claro que esa no fue la manera correcta. He hecho otro intento. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 29, 2014
aah ok bosque!! entonces es "de hace 4 o 5 años" :) - 003e54f5, Jul 29, 2014

Mis hijos tienen parejas perono he oido nada de anillos, ni de bodas. A menos este es un ahoro enorme, las bodas son muy caras. - annierats, Jul 29, 2014
I hope the eldest daughter is not under pressure to get married, please tell her not be in a hurry. It is not a competition. Nice post. - osas-baby, Jul 29, 2014
It is her own pressure. The only external pressure is to have a child. My wife wants a grandchild- she doesn't care if the parents are married or not. :D - bosquederoble, Jul 29, 2014

Yes Jimmy,it is also a crime here,for those who wedded in the church or in the court.However if you have a traditional wedding,polygamy is not a crime,because that is part of the tradition. - osas-baby, Jul 30, 2014
