cansado ( kahn-sah'-doh )

adjective ( tired; tiring, tiresome )

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.

"La gente duerme en posiciones raras..." and very true and very funny sometimes j - 003e54f5, Aug 19, 2014
Amiga Katty .. impar means odd but is used with numbers ... odd numners ...even numbers ... in your sentence you can use ..raras as Pablo has suggested or extrañas - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
to mean odd in the sense of being strange or aberrant .. hehe - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014

"Las otras ciudades deben estar CANSADAS de oír eso". Ciudades is a femenine and plural word so the adjective must be according to that - SpanishSkypeorg, Aug 19, 2014

la vida es pesada/dura pero no deje/permite que te ponga cansado - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
o puedes decir :::: .. la vida es dura pero no deje que te apure mucho (life is hard but don't let it get on to your nerves) .. hehe ... Am I correct Pablo ?? - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
I am unclear as to why the "que" after permite. Don't let it make you tired. Compound verb no change in subject. - gringojrf, Aug 19, 2014
because there is a change of subject - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
the sentence after the conjunction pero has two subjects ... you and the life ... both subjects need there own respective clauses joined together by the conjunction que .. and in the subordinate clause a subjunctive is needed - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
without the que it seems like .. you are using ponerse as reflexive and are saying .. don't get tired ... but if you discern your english sentence more carefuly .. you wil see that there is a change of subject ..... (you) don't let it (the life) make y - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
ou tired ... it is a nominative pronoun that is standing alone representing the second subject (the life) which is mKing you weary .. but if you don't want to use the second subject .. then you can say ... la vida es dura pero no te pones cansado .... - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
or ... la vida es dura/pesada pero no dejes/ no permitas ponerte cansado (don't let youself to be tired) - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
and also .. no permite is inappropriate. because you need to use imperative conjungation here .. so it could be .. no permitas, no dejes, no permita, no deje ... hehe - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
conjugation** - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014
Wow. Thanks. You really know your grammar. - gringojrf, Aug 19, 2014
para mi es: "La vida es dura pero no dejes que te canse" :) - 003e54f5, Aug 19, 2014
that is also great Pablo .. but he needs to incorporate the world of the day .. cansado .. hehe .. - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014

El nuevo gerente creía que podría disminuir los gastos por terminar con el café gratuito que la empresa proporcionaba- pero descubrió que los ingresos disminuían aún más cuando los empleados estaban demasiados cansados.

The new manager thought that he would be able to reduce expenses by putting an end to the free coffee that the company provided- but discovered that the revenues diminished even more when the employees were too tired.

aun en este caso debe ser sin acento para significar "even" ... aún que lleva un acento significa "still o yet" y es casi un synonimo de todavía - 00b055e0, Aug 19, 2014

http://spanish.about.com/od/adverbs/a/aun.htm In comparisons, usually ones using más or menos, aún can be translated as "still" or "even." Note that aun isn't used this way in comparisons. - bosquederoble, Aug 19, 2014

Tengo una pregunta. Ví en el frase de ray76 '' Las otras ciudades deben estar cansado de oír eso''. En ese caso, que es correcto cansado o cansados?

I have a question. I saw in the phrase of ray76 "Other cities must be tired of hearing that. In this case, which is correct tired or tired plural?

The word tired is an adjective, and has no plural. Only nouns have plurals. The verb form tired (I tired of it, he tired of the game) is the past tense of to tire. - rac1, Aug 20, 2014
