realizar ( reh-ah-lee-sahr' )

verb ( to carry out; to achieve )

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.

Deseo que el mundo pueda realizar la paz universal. Supongo que si humanos existe, siempre existe también conflictos. Es triste.

I wish that the world could achieve universal peace. I suppose that if humans exist, conflict will also always exist. It is sad.

Hola porcu :-)!! - Jraider, Aug 6, 2014
Hi porcu, nice post mate. - ray76, Aug 6, 2014
Hi Porcu. :) "Realizing" sounds odd in this context. Perhaps, "doing his homework", or "completing his homework".. Or maybe, "He realized he had homework, but he fell asleep and dreamed of something nice." - rac1, Aug 6, 2014
Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Aug 6, 2014
Thanks Rac - porcupine7, Aug 6, 2014

"se hizo realidad...para bailar la parte de Odette en El Lago de los Cisnes" :) - 003e54f5, Aug 6, 2014
Thanks, pablo. I had "la parte" and changed it. The dictionary says that "el papel" means "role." Is it inappropriate for ballet? - AnnRon, Aug 7, 2014
"para bailar el papel de' sounds strange unless it be 'para hacer el papel de Odette' :) - 003e54f5, Aug 7, 2014
