árbol ( ahr'-bohl )

noun ( tree )

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.

Dos citas de Ronald Reagan: "Un árbol es un árbol. ¿Cuántos más tienes que mirar?", y "Los árboles hacen producen más contaminación que hacen los coches." A mí me encantan los árboles y los bosques y creo que son muy importantes para la salud del planeta; otra razón por la que voté en contra de él cada vez en los elecciones presidentales presidenciales.

Two Ronald Reagan quotes: "A tree is a tree. How many more do you have to look at?" and "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." Personally, I am enchanted by trees and forests and think that they are very important for the health of the planet; another reason that I voted against him each time in the presidential elections.

Debemos tener los derechos para los árboles, las plantas y los animales también como tenemos los derechos humanos porque árboles, plantas y animales también son seres vivos como nosotros y es un crimen de primer orden cortar los árboles y matar y cazar los animales ... por favor sea un humano real y protejalos.. gracias

We must have Animal rights and rights for trees, plants etc too like we have human rights for ourselves as they are living beings too just like us and it is a crime of the first order to cut them down and kill them or hunt them .. Please be a good human and protect them .. Thanks you

God made man in his own image, thinking that he would use his intelligence and gifts to protect his nature and other beings .. but with time man turned rogue and killed the nature .. how sad :(
