lindo ( leen'-doh )

adjective ( pretty, nice, lovely, cute )

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a pm. In the meantime, please help each other 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 diferencia entre una mujer linda y una verdadera belleza yace en la estructura de los huesos de la cara.

The difference between a pretty woman and a real beauty lies in the bonestructure of the face.

Most newly borns are adorable and cute, even pigs when they still are piglets.

Los más recién nacidos son adorables y lindos, incluso los cerdos cuando todavía son lechones.

Piglets are even cuter when they wear their boots.

Cochinillos son aún más lindos cuando usan sus botas.

Creer que son lindos los rasgos que demostrar demuestran que un ser vivo todavía no ha madurado es un instinto muy importante para la sobrevivencia supervivencia de una especie, porque hace que cuidemos a los niños en lugar de matarlos cuando funciona correctamente.

Believing that the features that demonstrate that a living being still has not matured are cute is an instinct very important for the survival of a species, because it makes it so that we care for children instead of killing them when it functions properly.

When "it" functions properly? - rac1, Aug 31, 2014
The instinct to which I refer. That is why we find it so strange when mothers kill their babies-there is supposed to be strong instinct to protect them instead. - bosquederoble, Aug 31, 2014
I know....I agree. :) - rac1, Aug 31, 2014

La lindeza interior me importa mas ... hay muchas personas que son muy lindas de exterior pero son diablos y brujas en realidad .. y por lo mismo no importa mucho que como luce o parece una persona de exterior .. lo que me importa solamente es la lindeza interior .

The inner beauty matters the most to me.. there are people who are beautiful on the outside but in reality are like devils and witches .. and therefore. how a person looks doesn't make a difference.. what realy matters is the inner beauty .. hehe

I feel that I must explain to members that may have thought I was being disrespectful

to 'Jimmy' . Australians always give ' nicknames' to those that they like .

I have found J T L to be at all times helpful pleasant and well mannered , albeit

slightly pedantic as is the bent of many people on the Sub Continent , you may

put me in that last category . Jimmy made a tiny mistake in his post , which

prompted me to write that silly ditty to him in the comments , I am sure that James

knows that it is tongue in cheek and comedic in intent only. Good onya J T L !


Jimmy the lip has made a slip,

he left out a letter he oughta known better ,

now he's missing a word and that is absurd ,

don't do it again or you'll here that refrain ,

a mix-up James that's enough of your games ,

off to the dunce corner ,

-with reputation in flames .
