dulce ( dool'-seh )

adjective ( sweet )

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.

Aunque nos gusten las cosas dulces, necesitamos evitarlas, incluyendo las bebidas con azúcar, y cambiar nuestros gustos, si queremos vivir una vida sana.

Even if we like sweet things, we need to avoid them, including drinks with sugar, and change our tastes, if we want to live a healthy life.

¡Por supuesto! El azúcar añadido es tan poco saludable que es probablemente el peor ingrediente único en la dieta moderna. - rac1, Aug 7, 2014
Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo. Es peor que nada. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 7, 2014

Dulce es mi especialidad y se merece un breve poema ...

Yo soy dulcero No lo niego Saborear el dulce de tus labios, No lo resisto Lo probaría todos días Me lo negarias?

Sweet is my specialty and it deserves a brief poem ...

I have a sweet tooth I won't deny it To taste the sweetness of your lips I can't resist it I'll taste it everyday Would you deny it? (Doesn't rhyme in English but in Spanish it does the trick wink )

Dulce y decoroso es morir por la patria? He visitado los cementerios y no creo una palabra de eso.

It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one's country? I've visited the graveyards and don't believe a word of it.

Andy Rooney said once referring to his countrymen who fought in WW2: These men did not give their lives, they had them taken. Martyrs may offer their lives for another but soldiers do what they are told and try to stay alive. - Jubilado, Aug 7, 2014
and this corner of a foreign field will be forever England...( I quote from memory, but you know what I mean..) - annierats, Aug 7, 2014
It's not a question, in spite of the question mark. It's a quote in translation : Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - Horatius. The British war poet Wilfred Owen used it as the title of a poem describing a gas attack. - Castor77, Aug 7, 2014
At the end of the poem he called it ' the old lie'. And Benjamin Britten used Owen' s poems in his moving 'War Requiem'. - Castor77, Aug 7, 2014
Oh, I see. :D - rac1, Aug 7, 2014
The poem - text, and recited by the late Christopher Hitchens : http://augenblickblog.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/dulce-et-decorum-est/ - Castor77, Aug 7, 2014

Muchas cosas se pueden llamar dulce - la música, pequeños niños, las tortas, las canciones de los pájaros, bebidas y los aromas. Usualmente, ser dulce es bueno, salvo si es "demasiado dulce".

Many things can be called sweet - music, little children, cakes, birdsong, drinks and aromas. Usually to be sweet is good, except if it is "too sweet".
