desnudo ( dehs-noo'-doh )

adjective ( naked, nude )

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.

Spaces with walls decorated with paintings, mirrors and shelves look much better to me than spaces with bare walls.

Los lugares con paredes decoradas con pinturas, espejos y estanterias me parecen mucho mejor que los lugares con paredes desnudas.

Me encanta natación en la playa en Malasia , pero es muy peligroso estar desnudo.

La policía son muy estricta, ninguna persona se le permite nadar desnudo.

¡Pero en los Estados Unidos sin embargo!.

I love swimming at the beach in Malaysia, but it is very dangerous to be naked.

The police are very strict, no person is allowed to swim naked.

But in the United states though!

La rata topo desnuda es uno de los animales más raros que he visto, y estoy bastante seguro de que las vi en un zoológico aunque no recuerdo cuál, porque nunca he viajado a África, y creo que lo mas más cercano a donde viven que he estado es o Italia o Dubai.

The naked mole rat is one of the strangest animals that I have seen, and I am pretty sure that I saw them in a zoo even though I do not recall which, because I have never travelled to Africa, and I think that the closet closest that I have been to where they live is either Italy or Dubai.

Yes Jimmy, that is the correct grammar, although native speakers will drop the de at times, it is not considered correct. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 16, 2014
Very provocative, Bosquederoble . . . - - Esteban_317, Aug 16, 2014
I also think mole rats are the only mammals considered to be eusocial. As Edward O. Wilson noted, people are not, despite the fantasies of communists. ;) - bosquederoble, Aug 16, 2014
well yes .. natives dl tend to skip and omit many grammatical structures in all the languages because they can afford to do so (as they already have the language hardwired inside them) but I as a non native can't afford to take chances with the grammar as - 00b055e0, Aug 16, 2014
not having the native advantage I need to learn the language by understanding its important gramatical aspects .. hehe - 00b055e0, Aug 16, 2014

When someone says they are telling you the naked truth, it is probably anything but.

Cuando alguien dice que estás diciéndote la verdad desnuda, es probable algo más.

Sometimes it is better to hear the naked truth even if it is upsetting.

De veces es mejor escuchar la verdad desnuda incluso si es molesto.

Mi Leo siempre sigue paseando desnudo por todas las partes y lo he aconsejado varias veces que hay que llevar unos calzoncillos por lo menos, pero nunca me escucha y siempre dice que es una ventaja de ser un perro.. hahaha

It doesn't matter if I'm nervous about giving a speech. I refuse to picture my audience naked.

No importa que me asuste dar un discurso. Me nego a imaginarme a mi audiencia es desnuda.
