La Palabra Del Dia: "noticia"

Question

noticia ( noh-tee'-syah )

noun ( news )

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

Solía leer regularmente las noticias en Internet, pero ahora suelo leer los mensajes de Spanishdict en Internet en vez de esto, a menos que leyera algo interesante en el periódico y quisiera leer más sobre eso. Leer el periódico es tiempo con mi esposa, leer algo en Internet, no.

I used to read the news on the internet regularly, but now I usually read the posts on Spanishdict instead of this, unless I read something interesting in the newspaper and want to read more about it. Reading the newspaper is time with my wife, reading something on the internet is not.
