La Palabra Del Dia: "sordo"
sordo ( sohr'-doh )
adjective ( deaf; dull, muffled )
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.
Examples:
1. Nuestra vecina es sorda y se comunica por lenguaje de señas.
Our neighbor is deaf and communicates through sign language.
2. Del sótano se oye un ruido sordo. ¡Llamemos a la policía!
A muffled sound can be heard from the basement. Let's call the police!

Blindness alienates a man much more than deafness.
A deaf man is still a part of the everyday life, who can at least imagine the sounds of nature, feel the beats in music, and see the smiling faces of his loved ones.
A blind man's world is his canvas, where he has to painstakingly paint out the world around him and scenes of both mirth and pain. The only way he can sense happiness is through his own laughter.
